    96 CE giving codes p0171 - p0174 Bank 1 and 2 lean

    You said you were going to get around checking for vacuum leaks first. Seems like this is an issue 90% of the time with all vehicles when you get mixed codes. Glad you found the source of your problem. It's always good to kick ideas around in your head before you do anything.

    96 CE giving codes p0171 - p0174 Bank 1 and 2 lean

    The two upstream actually do the adjusting, the downstream (rear) check that the cats are working. Again mileage on the car determines if you should replace all four. But I myself worry a lot less on the back ones. Good idea to replace the front two. My opinion anyway.

    96 CE giving codes p0171 - p0174 Bank 1 and 2 lean

    I would think a lean condition could be caused by an 02 sensor. Not necessarily that the 02 isn't working but it may be lazy. Definitely check for vacuum leaks and anywhere air might be getting in as a first step. Seems odd both banks are lean at the same time. Did you have the codes when u got...

    Posessed fuel guage

    Yeah, ethanol free wawa does have near me however if I'm not mistaken that fuel has a lower octane? I used it in my bike and it didn't like it. I had to revert back to the premium (10% alcohol). I haven't tried it in the vette yet, have to check the octane again.

    Posessed fuel guage

    Well I guess if you can hit the float and make it move it might give you an idea if it's working or not. I didn't have a problem reading your post, the format was fine. Good luck and maybe others have an idea as well.....

    Posessed fuel guage

    The bad thing is that you don't remember if it worked before or not, this could have eliminated you from taking it back out and checking the wiper against the increment embeded metal. I didn't do one in the vette but I did just do one my truck and I would assume the sending unit works the same...

    96 CE giving codes p0171 - p0174 Bank 1 and 2 lean

    What steps have u taken so far? The coupled codes indicate a possible intake leak, front O2's, air filter etc.

    Help! Rear End Shudder

    I remember reading something years ago and believe it was on this forum about a shutter in the transmission. My car will do it occasionally but only like say your cruisin around 70 or so then hit the gas gently you would notice a shutter for a few seconds and then it would disappear. If you hit...

    Help! Headlight Dimmer Switch not working

    Headlight dimmer switch..... Not sure if the 92 is the same as the 93 but I removed the knee bolster under the drivers side. There are two screws from I remember and a little tough to get at but are accessible for adjustment high beam....low beam. I remember the screws are not the same.....not...

    Preparing vette for long distance transport

    Hey Hib, I may be wrong but I heard a lot about covers and not to use them when transporting a car. I guess the main reason is the cover moves at all it's wear and tear on the finish. I've transported on an open trailer a few times and never covered it. I don't think in my opinion a little...

    Lateral Accelerometer service

    Hey Jerry, Check the brake fluid, every time I went around the corner these lights would illuminate. Found out the brake fluid was a little low? Happened a very long time ago so I'm suprised I remembered. Hope it's your problem.

    Jerry's 1993 Ruby Project (Link)

    Hope you keep some notes on the android install if you decide to go that route. I had my unit out twice now for CD repair and thinking there won't be a next time. I understand the vats is intergrated in the stereo head unit and has to be bypassed somehow. Please post your progress as you move...

    Jerry's 1993 Ruby Project (Link)

    Nice lookin 93, I have the same year. I read your post on the other forum and read your list. On the speaker that's not working....I understand a lot of times it's the capacitor on the amp for that speaker. Might want to check that out as it's a fairly cheap fix. I remember reading about it on...

    Great info....I'll have to look into that app. Does it require data to work though? I'm limited on data.

    Passenger side power window switch quit working

    Nice Pics! Isn't it great to be able to take things apart and make them like new again. A few cars are still like this but not many. Saves a ton of money over the long haul.

    "perfect" Cell - Smart Phone holder 1993 C4

    Great area. I use my GPS still which I like a little better. Use the phillips that holds the vent in place. I can take it out at any time and put things back to normal. I used the hardware that came with the GPS with some slight modification. Total cost is zero other then the GPS itself. Half...

    Thermostat Question?

    Thermostat Question?

    Thanks all, glad I asked. Gonna flush the block and radiator with some fresh water. Book says take the thermostat out when doing this but it sort of contradicts itself saying to run the fresh water through just till the thermo opens. Maybe they mean remove the stat just for the draining process...

    Thermostat Question?

    1993 guys and I'm draining all the old anti-freeze. I'm replacing knock sensors just because ther out of the car. I live in Florida and haven't had any issues cooling but I'm wondering if I should leave the thermostat out. Never use heat here. The inside of the car warms up pretty good even...
