    Question: Exxon Gas?? (No Ethynol?)

    You are right about the waste etc. but, the by product of making ethanol is a high concentrate protein which is used to feed livestock. The only thing use for ethanol is the sugars,so the statement that it takes away from the food supply is false.Humans eat very little corn. Don't misunderstand...

    Help! Grinding when shift into reverse

    Could be a sticky pilot bushing. The forward gears are synchronized so you might not notice a light drag. Not sure if the 4+3 has any issue with this, but on a ZF six speed no grease should be put on the pilot bushing unless it is a needle bearing assembly. The grease dries and drags the input...

    High idle

    With the engine not running check if there is any front to rear or vertical play. Any at all will cause the throttle plates to hang. I looked for high idle problem on my 90 for months before I discovered this. On mine if I would burp the throttle it would idle down some almost to normal. You...

    1989 C4 No Start

    I would replace all the injectors. I recommend getting them form FIC if you do a search here you will see they come highly recommended . I personally have a set in my 90 and could not believe the diff in the way it ran. These are slightly used that are totally checked out, new screens etc and...

    swapping transmissions

    You will need the ZF bellhousing . I have read the shifter comes up at just a little diff location. You will need a C beam to fit also. Glenn :w

    No lights on A/C panel or stereo

    Do the courtesy lights work? I had this on my 90 ,no courtesy lights also ,and it was a fuse. Some dash items get power from two sources. Be sure to get both books of the FSM one is an electrical supplement with all the diagrams. Glenn :w

    Air conditioning pressure

    I have the same problem and am pretty sure it is my throttle body. I can only feel it lose with engine not running. With engine running vacuum is high enough that you can't move it. Mine is bad enough now that the throttle plates hang open a bit. By bumping the throttle it slows some. Planning...

    New intake for crossfire = more HP!!!!

    I just watched the video.. looks like a Bridgeport mill or a close copy . Pretty low tech machine to be using for that job. You better hope the person running that machine is REALLY good or there could be fit problems.I don't see any kind of jigging. I would want mine done on a CNC . Glenn :w

    Wrong wheels?

    The 90 wheels have no center caps over the lugs just a plastic cap over the hub, the wheel is polished and finished in the recess for the lugs. The lug nuts have screw on caps. At least they have left and right wheels on the car looks like they are even mounted in on the correct side. Glenn :w

    High idle

    It took some digging but the ohm value is in my 90 FSM . It says 10 or more ohms but I think anything under 12 is questionable and they should be somewhere close to even. You will find the BoshIII a good choice. Someplace I had a post on my conversation with John about the source of these...

    Injector Upgrade

    If I were doing all that work and the engine is apart I would replace the injectors if they are the original OEM . If you would contact Jon at fuel injector connection he will give you good advice. Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, GTO Only - L98 CORVETTE, CAMARO, F'BIRD - Fuel Injector Connection...

    Ethanol in Gasoline

    Ethanol can damage your injectors . Those fuel systems were not designed for it. I also noticed a drop in gas mileage when I used it. Glenn :w
