I recently replaced the intake manifold gasket on my son's 1991 Corvette. While it was apart we also took the radiator out and cleaned it since it was overheating during the summer when at idle. We spent a good deal of time cleaning the engine bay as well. Unfortunately, it sat in my shop for...

I have just completed replacing the intake manifold gasket. I started the car and checked the timing. It was within 2 degrees. I set the timing but I have noticed I am not getting any oil to the rockers. I assume the distributor is in wrong but it is in time and runs, albeit with a distinct...

I am doing an intake manifold gasket replacement and was running a tap through the bolt holes to clean them out. The last one did not feel right from the start so I did not go very far before backing out. I tried the bolt in the hole and it will only go in about 3/8-1/2 inch before stopping...

My son and I are in the process of replacing the intake gasket on his 1991 Corvette with the L98 engine. Since the car has 100k miles we have also removed and cleaned the radiator and are replacing the thermostat, EGR valve and valve cover gaskets. We are also refinishing the valve covers. My...

My son's 91 model will flash the ABS light after you have been driving for about 10 minutes. It stays on for a few seconds and then goes off just like it would at startup. After that it does not come on again. Any ideas?

My son's 91 Corvette had a very low battery (65%) and I replaced it. The new battery dropped almost immediately to 85% when it was installed. I took my multimeter tester and connected it between the negative cable and negative post and it immediately blew the 200 milliamp fuse in the tester...

I am replacing the Bose Gold head unit in my son's car and I now have the tuner/amp bypass ready to connect to the CDM. The only wire from the head unit that I do not know what to connect to is the illumination wire. This wire is the one that dims the display when the lights are on. Anyone...

I am replacing the stereo in my son's car and we are using the tuner/amp bypass harness so as to not replace the speakers. Where is the tuner/amp located and how do I get to it?

I just changed the injectors and was letting the car warm up before driving. That is the best it has idled since I bought it. However, when I got in to drive it I noticed the temp guage at 260 degrees. I know it can't be that hot after only 15 to 20 minutes idling in cool night air. I did...

I will be replacing the injectors in my car soon. I have read about the procedure, watched the video and it seems pretty straightforward. Are there any tips or suggestions that might make the job go easier? Also, what other components should I replace while I have the plenum off?

When I changed the plugs on my car, there was gasoline on the threads of two plugs. The plugs were the middle two on the driver's side. I thought at first it might be coolant but a quick sniff test confirmed gasoline. Could this be a sign of a problem? The car had not been started in about...

TPS and IAC setting problem (maybe) I have been working through the "rough, surging idle" condition with a 1991 Corvette that I purchased recently. Car has 76,000 miles. I had replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor and two vacuum lines that were dried out. I also removed the...
