Latest update They low coolant light is /was still giving me problems. Over the last few months every 5 - 6 wks I have to clean the sensor. So I decided to buy a spare sensor, I found someone with AC Delco parts on EBay. It was delivered yesterday and I replaced the one in the radiator. While...

Weird - light started coming on again immediately took oout sensor and it was discolored but nothing stuck on it. cleaned again and is working. What would make it turn off color so fasr - anitfreeze Prestone is new and clean - it is a little stronger than 50 / 50. The sensor end was yellow...

The sensor on an 89 is in same location as mine - look at radiator cap - then below the upper transmission line connection you should see a one wire conection.

Thanks for your help -it seemed to be a fouled sensor. I removed the sensr and polished with scotch bright and it is now working perfectly. Thanks again for the ideas.

Yes, I think I did. filled, waited till thermostat opened then ran car at high idle (2000)and added fluid, then quickly put cap on.

Thanks, I think you are right - just started car in garage and low coolant light was on. Removed radiator cap - light still on and the radiator was completely full. So I must have a fouled sensor. So now to decide to clean or replace - radiator and sensor is only 2 yrs old Delco radiator.

Having an issue with my '86; started last fall the low coolant light would come on occasionally but the reservoir was ok and when removing cap the radiator seemed ok. Pressure tested and it did lose pressuer slightly. I replaced all hoses, water pump and flushed the coolant system and refilled...

FYI - My daily driver 1986 Corvette rolled 300,000 miles with only routine maintenance (brakes, shocks, cluttch) and PMs. Way to go Chevrolet and USA :)

Never had on the strip but it pulls hard all the way to 6000 - guessing i would think it is around 300hp

AFter listening to the youtube video - it seems like a vacuum leak - have you checked the top intake plate for leaks or just replaced the gasket? It also could be very badly balanced TBs or injector issues. This is a list of thing I did to mine: 82 Corvette Engine / performance modifications...

I have an 86 and have the same problem. In Feb. I decided to do a little maintenance work and rebuild all four calipers, replaced all four caliper flex hoses and flushed the system. Since then I have gravity bleed, vacuum bleed, pressure bleed the system with still the first push of peddle soft...

My 86 Corvette has brake issues - Back in January I deciced to rebuild all four calipers, replace the brake hoses and flush the brake fluid. While rebuilding the front calipers the fluid in the master cylinder ran dry. Reinstalled the front calipers & hoses - then gravity bleed the front brakes...

Does this car have very large diameter wheels by chance? NO factory wheel and tire size combination but I drive 100 miles a day so I put a lot of miles on it

I noticed in the Corvette Central Website they have a HD rear wheel hub with tappered bearings instead of the factory roller bearing, has anyone used these, and if so did they last longer? I have a daily driver 86 and go thru a set of rear from Pep Boy's almost every 16months. Thanks

I recently rebuilt all the calipers on my 86 Corvette (with GM seals) and reinstalled. I refilled the mastercylinder with new dot 3 fluid and gravity bleed all wheels, hooked up a mity-vac and vacuum bleed them and then did a two man bleed with pump & bleed method. My question is the brakes...
