After much cursing and stretching I was able to get the clip off the push rod using a 3/4 wide chisel which worked better then a plain flat blade screwdriver. To remove the clutch master cylinder I did have to remove the car battery for access to the inner cylinder mounting bolt. Installing the...

There must be some special way to access the push rod of the clutch master cylinder under the dash, so far I have used a remote lighted camera on a flexible arm, a lighted mirror on an arm and I can always visually locate the push rod clip but am unable to use a long screwdriver to contact the...

replace clutch master cylinder on a 1988 C4 Thanks for the response,I definitely will try this.

What is the secret to accessing the spring clip on the push rod under the dash. I dropped the hush panel and access to the push rod attachment to the clutch pedal is almost impossible. The clip must be removed before the clutch master cylinder push rod and the master cylinder can be removed. It...

I just ordered a new OD trans filter. Hopefully it is simply a filter problem since the car does go into overdrive.

Thanks, right I have a Std. trans and OD model, 4 + 3. I miss read the TV cable mention.

I had the transmission fluid levels checked and topped within the last 200 miles however I printed out from the GM service manual the Std and OD trans filler plugs diagram page since my car is older then the mechanics that serviced it. I'm sure they didn't drain and refill the OD unit in fact...

OD shifting I noticed in my '88 Vette that on occasion when in OD there is momentary power slippage similar to a slipping clutch. However when I'm not in OD my car runs normal with full power, no slippage. Is the OD "slippage" something that can be corrected adjusting the TV cable? My Vette...

Car is running fine with new pump, a test of the original pump out of the car showed it was bad.

A further electrical check of the fuel delivery "system" showed that the installed pump was not running. I pulled the pump and installed a new Bosch elect. pump and now the car is running fine. I believe that the water in the fuel was the ultimate cause. I had siphoned the old gas and removed...

I plan on testing the connection at the pump today before having to remove it... again.

New follow up to "fuel pump not running, C4 won't start". I had just replaced the fuel pump relay, I reinspected all the connections at the fuel tank and I then bridged the connection with a jumper wire at the OBD unit under the dash, connecting A to G and ... nothing. I now have a new Bosch...

I plan to check that out tomorrow. Thanks for the input.

My plan is to tackle that tomorrow. Thanks for your input

Thanks for your insight, all the relevant fuses checked out. To recap the no starting problem: 1. Car was running OK with a code 36 (MAF indication). 2. I cleaned the MAF with CRC, OBD code read 12. Car then wanted to fire up strong but wouldn"t run...

Further follow up, I replaced the Fuel Pump Relay still no pressure reading on pressure gauge, also I can not hear the pump running. I have ordered a new pump and pump filter to install in the fuel pump assembly.

Update on C4 not running. A test of the fuel pump indicated 40 lb. pressure, the pump was removed and all the gas ( 18+ gal ) was removed. I fitted a new gasket and reinstalled the pump with all correct connections. I put in 5 gal of new 93 octane fuel saw the fuel gauge reading correctly...

We ran a test meter on all eight injectors and they indicated normal, the car would fire up strong briefly once I sprayed starting fluid mist into the intake. We used a computer to do readouts on all elements. I then resorted to pulling the fuel pump from the tank.

I have found the problem to my starting problem, after removing the fuel pump I used a battery powered siphon and have excessive water in my tank. I will have to completely drain the tank.

I tried again spraying starting fluid into intake manifold and the Vette fires up strong but shuts down. I then tried removing the MAF unit and again, same thing with starting spray, starts up strong then shuts down. The only readings I get on my OBD readout is 12, normal, which surprises me. I...
