    Starts then dies unless gas held

    About to go readjust the TPS... ....I followed the FSM procedure with all the steps for minimum idle adjustment, so should be good. Short version of all this is that while I was hunting for the cause of my post-tuneup miss/stutter, I was manually moving/holding the throttle mechanism a lot...

    Starts then dies unless gas held

    Hi, 1987 Automatic Coupe, starts up and immediately stalls/dies unless given gas. Next best step after...? INFO: - Will continue to "idle" in Park at stable RPM with gas held down, as low as 900...releasing gas = instant stall - Fuel Pressure good, fuel pump runs for 2 secs pre-startup as...

    Post-tuneup issue

    Hi all, Since I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, I've got a slight jerk/stutter around the 1800-2100 rpm mark while maintaining a steady speed/rpm. Not sure if this qualifies as a 'miss' or not. I replaced the new Delco plugs today with no-gap Bosch Platinum 2's, but the problem still...

    redlinecorvette : standup ebayer

    Hi all, I'd ordered rear compartment trays from redlinecorvette on ebay, but they never showed. He promptly refunded my money without any hassle. Lots of good C4 stuff from him on ebay and will continue to buy from him based on this. cheers

    Looks very nice! Is that an aftermarket/painted inside door handle? I was looking into the insulator more for reducing volume when driving, as mine sounds solid when closing. Thanks for the info.

    Awesome, thank you c4cruiser. My 87 will eventually need to be totally stock to qualify for cheap Collectors insurance, so I want to get the right mats and paint the console lid. cheers

    3 Interior questions

    Hello all, Searched around a good bit but didn't find an answer to these questions. Any help appreciated... 1 - Are the soundproofing door insulators which were standard in later years worthwhile to install on an older C4? 2 - What did the original floor mats in my 1987 look like? Emblem? 3...

    LT4 Would you buy an LT4.....would you sell one?

    I would love an LT4 Vette, and I plan to get one when I'm able to trade up or get a 2nd one. The combination of killer power + late C4 body + 6speed + special 'cause it's not in FBodys(aside from rare slps) = awesome.

    Coolant Leak!!

    You did a full flush? I've never done a full one, but I think you take the knock sensors out to get it all out right?
