    Well over the weekend I went and bought a new to me Vette. Its a 96 Collectors Edition, LT4, 6 speed, Z-51 with red interior. It drove like a dream on the 250 miles back home. I think I have a relapsing caase of perma-grin. Man ya gotta love that LT4 power. Looks like Im all set for...

    Zero Oil Pressure...No Engine Noise

    I agree ... Oil Pressure Sender. Had one go out in my old Dodge PU. Stopped at a light and suddenly the pressure went to zero. Freaked out and shut it down, checked everything, oil level was good, couldn't find anything wrong. Started it up and removed the oil fill cap and looked inside, I...

    Torque Steers?

    Well it is their company policy. Normally something like this would make me stop doing business with a company. The only thing is their products ARE that good. When I replace my Vette Im sure I will be giving them a call. Its just sad that a coustomer spends roughly 3 grand with a company...

    Tach problem

    The filter is inline from the tach output on the distributor to the dash input at the tach. It looks almost like a condenser from an old points type distributor, only larger. About an inch in diameter and about 1 1/2 inches long with a wire in either end. The mounting bolt was one of the...

    Tach problem

    Mine was acting much the same as yours. Very close to being correct at idle but during a WOT shift I was seeing around 7000 RPMs. I know I wasn't spinning it up that much. I tested bypassing the filter first by connecting my scanning software up and looking at the RPMs. I also took one of...

    Tach problem

    Most likely it is the filter you describe. It is located on one of the mounting bolts between the engine and trans ... upper on the drivers side. Mine was acting up also. Tried to find a replacement, but even GM said they were discontinued. I did find out that on the '90 and '91 cars its...

    Torque Steers?

    Man I wish I did. I sent the front rebuild kit, extreme front spring, front sway bar, front Bilsteins, Camber brace, and all the new extra bushings back over a month ago. Still waiting on my credit, which has me a little miffed. I just received all the parts 4 days before Katrina hit, then...

    Torque Steers?

    And 15-16 years of exposure. The weather and elements themselves break down the rubber over time. I replaced the complete rear bushings with poly ... liked it so much I ordered the complete front set ... never got to install it though...

    Never ends...

    Craig, I pretty much agree with you ... a relay is a relay. Although I get a better feeling about the Delco parts. Not very technical but the gut feeling. The time will come that these are made in China somewhere and the price should reflect that. I still say if I gotta change it I'm...

    Torque Steers?

    Part of the problem is the geometry of the rear spring itself. During movement the spring will slightly change the toe of the rear wheels. I recently saw an show on Speed channel that was talking about this problem in reference to autocrossing. As the spring loads and the tires/wheels go...

    Huge draw on battery when turned off!

    Auto or Manual? I remember a TSB about the large purple wire going to the shifter (neutral saftey switch) getting rubbed and causing a short. It was routed strange under the forward part of the center console and causing some problems. The solution was to repair the cable and re route the...

    electric WP, CSR vs Meziere

    :duh Man I am normally better than that. Somehow I totally missed the fact that it was an LT4. My bad. Vettelt193 gave most of the reasons I got mine. That and whatever amount of HP boost I could get. A couple here a couple there sooner or later they start to add up. :w

    Sys problem

    I've seen it before when I had a blank chip installed in the car. I was doing some tuning to my chip and had it out sitting on the table with some blanks. Wouldn't you know it some how I got the chips dissarranged and picked up a blank. I've seen it another time ... cause was a bad ECM. The...
