Thanks Ken. I had not thought of that! radar

Your oil pressure and temperatures sound fine to me. My oil pressure is similar to yours (basically identical with Mobil 1). My cruising coolant temps are similar in the summer but lower in cooler weather because I have a 160 degree thermostat and a Hypertech chip that starts my cooling fan at...

I would check the clutch to be sure it is fully disengaging. My Vette is an auto so I don't have experience there. I have had several cars over the years with manuals. I know that if the clutch friction disk drags just slightly on the flywheel or pressure plate, the transmission input shaft...

I have not seen this discussed before. I don't think this is a common problem. However, I have heard that some C4's do have power steering rack problems at higher mileages. What I would do is have your shop flush as much crud from the system as possible after changing all of the hoses. I am...

I have used the Battery Tender for the last two years and it works great. I paid about $50.00 but I forgot where I ordered it. Radar :)

Sounds like weak fuel delivery at high loads to me. I would check the fuel pump gas delivery to the engine. If you are good to 50% throttle, it seem to indicate many things such as ignition, etc. are okay. Then when load increases, the fuel gets short and your engine leans out. I would check the...

The previous Owner may have drained and replaced the coolant and not gotten all of the air out of the block. Then if he did not purge all of the air out of the block, a problem like you described had can happen. With the air bubble in the top of the block passages, the thermostat sensing element...

Yes, it is as normal as it comes! Bob (Radar) :beer

Totally NORMAL. My 89 makes an ABS noise whenever I first move it after the car has been off. This is true whether I am backing out or driving forward after about moving 10 feet. This is the ABS calibrating itself. This is normal for the older versions of the ABS. I don't think the newer cars do...

I use polish all of the time. Check this web site out for Zaino Brothers. http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc Bob :beer

I just put the "Battery Tender" (about $50) on the ole battery in November and let the Vette sleep until April or May. I put it down with a fresh oil change, new coolant every two years, and thats about it. I do not run it over the winter. I think the condensation inside the engine and buildup...

You might try a search on this topic in CAC. I saw a post somewhere about a year ago on repainting the console and other interior trim in a Vette. There is a way to refinish but I don't remember where I saw the post. You have to use a special cleaner to get any silicone off, or the new finish...

I would just live with the "puff". Mine does that on ocassion too. I never move the oil on the dip stick. I am using Mobil One and that seems to have reduced the problem. Hope that helps, if nothing else.........moral support. Radar :beer

I got a solid 27 on a 425 mile trip from Cincinnatti to Milwaukee. I get about 22 mpg tooling around town (50% city, 50% spirited highway). I have the trusty 2:59 rear axle ratio so my rpm is only 1800 at 74 mpg. That helps. Radar:beer

Blackvette89, My 89 has the single fan too. The engine computer chip controls the cut-in and cut-out temps for that fan. You can by a chip like the Hypertech Stage II that drops the fan cut-in to 174 deg F. Works great for me. I run a 160 deg engine thermostat and my engine runs nice and cool...

I second Magnaflow :beer

That is really strange. Why would an engine be okay when cold and then develop a noise after it warms up. I would think that a really bad bearing would be noisy even when cold. I know that the oil thins as it warms but a bearing loose enough to knock when warm would not be silent with the cold...

I would take a look at Magnaflow. Radar :beer

That site is for the 84 to 87's. The 88's to 96's used a new two wire motor and a current module. The two systems are not the same. Radar

rrhayden There is only one speaker in each of the four locations (doors and the 2 rears). Each speaker is about 4-inches round and it is both the tweeter and woofer on one! Actually they can really punch some sound when working correctly. Each speaker housing has an amplifier that gets power...
