    Symptoms of Clogged Fuel Injectors

    What are the most common symptoms of clogged fuel injectors? I know replacing them can be very expensive so would you say a novice could do the job or should I just put the vette up on blocks and wait till next year to have a professional do the work?

    Aftermarket Catalytic Cnvt hurt resale???

    Will replacing the 3 Catalytic Converts with a single aftermarket one hurt resale down the road??? The shop says it can't find OEM Cats for my 89 and wants to replace them with an aftermarket for $1000.00, is that reasonable? Thanks

    Slip Sliding Away: Tranny

    Ok, forgive my ignorance but what does a slipping clutch feel like? When I shift on hard excelleration, the car seems to be in a game of catchup with the engine. There is no "chatter" like I've experienced in other cars, which is what I would call a slipping clutch, it just feels like a big...

    C3's called sharks, how about C4 called falcons?

    Everyone calls C3's "Sharks" but there is no cool general term for the C4. During a nice spring drive I noticed a falcon sitting on a sign post and I said to myself... “Self, doesn't the sleek and pointed body of the C4 looks like the falcons?” “Gee, I replied to me, you got something...

    I Love these New Tires!!!

    I love these new tires! I purchased the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's. Finally I was able to mount my new rims and tires to my Vette and man what a difference!!!! These tires are so smooth and quite, none of that road roar that the old Gators had. I got home early from work and mounted the front...

    Really Stupid Question about Spare Tire...

    :ugh Sorry for this question, I know that I know the answer but I have to ask it anyway..... In lowering the spare tire, do you rotate the retaining bolt clockwise or counter clockwise as you are looking up to it from the bottom? I'm going on a trip tomorrow, taking handicap kids for rides...

    If I was Dave Hill: How I would have designed the New Z06

    The New Corvette’s design is definitely a controversial one; some people miss the popup headlights and clamshell hood. Others say that it looks too much like a Viper and not like a “Vette.” Well even though I like the new design better than the C5’s, I would have liked the New Vette to...

    Possessed Radio: Screaming Mimi

    Ok, I've gotten my hearing back. My radio decide it was time for one of those "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system" test and went into a screaming fit. I had turned on the radio and it just started broadcasting a horribly loud tone. I immediately turned off the radio but the...

    Is it enough?

    Is the adhesive on wheel emblems enough to keep them planted for a long time? I just purchased "new" 88-89 chrome wheels for my Vette and then purchased new emblems to replace the ratty old ones for each of the center caps. After heating the caps up with a hairdryer, I popped each of the old...

    How to determine uniqueness

    How would I figure out how many Corvettes were built with the very same selected options that my Vette has? I know how many Convertibles were built, how Vettes were white, but how would I figure out how many of the convertibles were white with red interiors and 6-speeds...etc? Thanks to all of...
