I have a similar scan tool by Autoxray, they work fine for pulling and erasing codes and reading the data stream and they are capable of accessing our old cars and newer OBDII stuff too. Unfortunately they lack many features such as bidirectional capability and the ability to access other...

yes, yes.

Tech 1 VS. Tech 1-A Actually the only difference between a Tech 1 and a Tech 1-A is that the Tech 1-A has two additional ports not present on the Tech 1. The RS232 port was for communication between the scan tool and the dealership Cams computer system or printer, addition of adapter...

When I did the bypass on my 93 I replaced the two piece plus tee upper radiator hose with the one piece upper hose from the 95/96, GM part number 10278338 or use Gates 22463 or AC Delco 24408L

Since your 96 is OBDII it has misfire detection, typically total misfires must exceed a certain percentage of total firing cycles before a code will set and illuminate the MIL. You do not mention the check engine lamp being on so it does not sound like that is the case with your vehicle...

Consensus seems to be that 3.07 is just about ideal for cars with the L98/auto combination, LT1 cars do well with something around 3.50. I tried 3.73's in my 93 but they were too steep on the freeway, I am now running 3.45 and they seem just about perfect.

My post specified respectful disagreement boomdriver because I have noticed your advice is nearly always on target. As a professional I take pride in keeping an open mind simply because I have learned plenty from enthusiasts like yourself. This old saying seems particularly relevant because...

I will respectfully disagree with boomdriver based on personal experience and suggest at least checking the exhaust manifold bolts for tightness. I have seen loose bolts there cause such a leak when cold, as the parts expand during engine warm up it can diminish or stop the sound you hear. The...

For what it is worth I'll relate my experience with an Auto Xray 6000 scan tool made by the same company that makes Actron by the way. The 6000 is advertised to work on OBDI and OBDII vehicles so I thought it would be useful on my 93 Corvette as well as our newer daily drivers. After purchase...

Understood, it is an unusual arrangement. Not sure if this will link directly but will try RockAuto Parts Catalog if not, I'm pretty sure the part you need is DORMAN Part # 85855 , hope that helps.

The bulb and socket comes as an assembly, or do you need the wiring connector?

Rock Auto RockAuto Auto Parts lists it from a couple of different manufacturers.

Assuming there are no fault codes in the PCM, it sounds like you have a cylinder misfiring. A couple of suggestions that may help would be to inspect the spark plug wires with the engine running at night or in a dark garage, any arcing of spark to ground indicates the wires should be...

See this link to a thread on the "other" forum then scroll down to my post #4, note that the exhaust is removed in the photos but the drain can be installed without removing it. 2 rear end questions - Corvette Forum

No personal experience but have been told this company repairs DERM's, just another option in case you do not want to buy used, good luck. Airbag Computer

The continuity tone is weak because of the 35 ohms resistance. There is a more detailed test for the solenoid in the chart for DTC 26, seem to recall it is a current measurement, you will need to connect an ammeter in the circuit and the test may also require a Tech 1 to activate the solenoid...

Okay, got it. If you had 45 ohms resistance at the solenoid I would look elsewhere, all of the ones I've seen that were bad were wide open, no reading at all using the DVOM. The only other qualifier would be make sure your meter is on the lowest scale.

Does not sound like I made myself clear John. You want to take your ohm reading across the pins of the solenoid, not the connector. If the solenoid is open (infinite resistance) it is bad. The bad solenoids I have found typically set code 26 for the quad driver circuit #1, not code 32, but...

I have found the EGR and Canister purge solenoids to be common failure items. A simple test to confirm if you have a multimeter is to check for continuity across the two terminals of the solenoid with the connector removed. Infinite resistance or an open reading indicates the solenoid is bad.
