    Question: Brake pressure light

    Be suspicious of the master cyl going bad. I did just replace mine and had absolutely no indication it was going bad except for the pedal going to the floor and pumping it did nothing. First time that ever happened to me with a car not giving me no indication at all......no brakes, had to yank...

    Woww...

    Hey All, Own a 93 C4 and driving down the vets expressway here in Florida. Im crusin along 72-73 mph and out of nowhere a C7 comes blowing by me at my guess 160 - 170. Anyway, the exhaust sounded awesome and felt like a jet went by. With absolutely no traffic on that road he was a mile in front...

    Shorting pins A and B results in cooling fans on. Normal?

    I did this a few times and I believe my aux fan came on. Never worried about it though cause upon restart, it was off till the car called for it to be on (my car 228°). I just did all my heater hoses on my car, what a fiasco as some parts were wrong, about 5 or 6 hoses. Anyway, living in...

    Brakes again....

    So I order this brake kit, slotted and drilled rotors, nice ceramic pads. They never ever send the anti-rattle clips even with a kit. Love the new brakes but seems like every time I do a brake job on any car I always ask myself, why can't they give you new clips? Just sayin...l

    Question: Bleeding brakes but the pedal is still spongy.

    Wish I could be of more help to you. like stated our cars are different. Mcdill, was there for the air show this year, F-35 impressive and the guy flew it like he was driving a car! Of course the blue angels which I haven't seen in probably 30 years are just as impressive. Lot's of people around...

    I exceeded the number of tags by 1 ....what does that mean?

    Not to hi-jack this thread but I love that color. I remember in 07 I sat in one in the showroom. Great signature!

    Question: Bleeding brakes but the pedal is still spongy.

    Yes, I would think the ABS should definitely be bled. The reason I say this is because on a 93 (I know it's different) the ABS/ASR module must be bled immediately after installing a bench bled master cyl. The FSM also give me a rotation in which the wheel calipers should be bled starting with...

    Master cylinder failed

    No, actually I never touched the system. When removed the old cylinder and took it apart it's no wonder it failed, dirty and a lot of sludge. I guess it's the nature of the fluid to just go bad after so many years even though the system was never opened. I did all the other fluids in the car...

    Master cylinder failed

    One of the scariest things, brake peddle goes to the floor, pumping brakes nothing happens, emergency brake came in handy. Thank the dear lord I didn't have stop fast. This is the second time in my life time this has happened to me. Cylinder just quit. I guess we should always be prepared for...

    Question: Brake Problems, 94 6-speed with Z07 and RFTs options (among other options)

    Just thought I'd mention I had a car once the brakes would stay locked the more they were used. I did manage to bypass a valve externally mounted on the brake booster which was the problem, it was faulty. In doing research at the time I also looked at the cross section of a brake booster which...

    1996 LT4 Coupe - Interior Light Stay On

    Door switches are very iffy and need to be addressed for sure. It happened to me, alarm went off, switches were not opening. They do adjust on my car but they collapsed back and the same thing happened. Pack them out temporary and see if it works then you can come up with a permanent solution.

    Question: Rough Starting - 1996 LT1

    Check your fuel pressure regulator as well, mine leaked causing the very same issue.

    Using Freon with leak seal ( OK or bad for the AC system )

    Okay guys, as a retired HVAC mechanic, if it ain't oil and if it ain't gas it don't belong. A system with dye, never use my gauges cause it don't come out. Get a leak detector and go over everything especially the access valves as they have a tendency not to seal well as they age. Rubber hoses...

    40th Anniversary Door jamb switch does not shut off lights and buzzer

    Maybe a little late here. I also have a 93 and lost a battery. Driving me nuts, sometimes the alarm would go off because of the voltage difference in the battery. What I have found is not the door switches bad but the piece that actuates the switch not making contact all the time. I do believe...

    Parking brake handle question

    Can you imagine trying to get out of that car if the handle didn't go down? I can never find any change I drop as it just disappears.

    "Removed from Service" for the winter...

    I lived in the northeast all my life, retired here in Florida and I drive my car more now then ever before. I love the smooth glass top roads and car shows. Summertime is my downtime with the car but with that said I really feel lucky as most days I get to use the car without worrying about the...

    Help! 1996 corvette overheating

    My 93 aux fan turns on at 228°. It has always been this way. This happens only in a traffic situation.

    02 sensors

    Hey all, Fighting this idle issue with my 93 LT1. When the car is warm in closed loop only do I get a rough idle for a few seconds and then it disappears and idles fine. Okay, no codes, starting to think O2 sensors. I had this happen on an Obd2 PCM on a different vehicle. It would idle rough in...

    Rough idle after long run...

    Working on a little problem I'm experiencing. Take my car out, runs perfect. Drive for 20 miles or so and shut it down. Start it again and it has a hard time idling to the point where it will stall. This clears up rather quickly after it get over the rough idle in a few seconds and everything is...
