I noticed the other day that there are 3 different pintle shapes on the IAC valves for the '84 in the shop manual. My questions for the group are these: 1) How can I tell if I have the right pintle for my TB's? 2) what are the differences on these pintles?

My temp gauge slowly disappeared again (reading "LO") The first time I reinstalled the low coolant sensor(new radiator install) and connected the hanging wire for it. 6 months later, I replaced it again as it looked like it had been eaten away. I always run proper coolant and thought sensor was...

Today wasn't a great day for my 'vette...I lost 2 of the three smog pump pulley bolts and what a noise that was! Good thing I made it home before I lost everything. The bad news is I busted part of the A.I.R. diverter valve in the process. I've looked on Ebay and a few other sites for a diverter...

I changed my fuel pump about 6 months ago along with a new sock/strainer. Within the last couple of months I noticed that when I get down to 1/4 tank, it acts like its going to run out of gas on accelleration or turning a corner. I'm wondering if the sock is mounted in the wrong direction....is...

In particular, the brake booster....the booster failed on my '84 and I found one from an '85. Is there a difference in parts like this one?

Seems like every time I open the hood lately, I've got something else to deal with; today, it's the passengers side hood hinge. I noticed that one of the bolts needed tightening and when I got close, it snapped off :mad So I reached into the oval opening in the hood from the drivers side to...

Last week I thought I had a bad battery. The starter was chattering like it wasn't getting enough current to it. This past Thursday it started making a grinding sound like the solenoid was missing it's mark on the flywheel. So before I got it down, a small 1/4-20 bolt fell down...I didn't pay it...

I changed about 10 ft of vacuum lines last weekend and found a plastic line disconnected from the back of the front TB in the process. When I restarted the car, it was cold and sounded like it was missing a cylinder. It warmed up and ran alright after that...my MPG even came up a couple of miles...

The FSB light came on over the weekend and never went out. Today I dug out the FSM and the electrical supplement trying to find the location of the seat belt switch to trace the constant on. There is a mention of the seat belt switch, but there are no pics or references to where it might be...

I just noticed the other day that the SES light is on, but it's not on "brightly" as it normally would look, but it's dim and on all the time. Does anyone have any ideas on which way to point me to? The FSM only shows an SES light on all the time flowchart but nothing like I'm experiencing...

......the fuel pump, by a landslide I was on the other end of town today when my '84 started acting up. I'd get going and then the idle would drop and die. I went around in circles trying to get on the highway, only to die in the same spot, coast backwards into the closest drive and wait a...

I think it's super..... :beer:beer:beer

Does anyone know when the production start and end dates were for the '84 run?

I'm hoping I can find the answer from the forum.....I have a broken dipstick and want to replace it, obviously. Is the '85 dipstick the same length as the '84?. I've asked around, and I get conflicting answers. I figured that since it's the same 350, that the sticks are the same. Maybe an '84...

Last night, I noticed that the spare tire lamp was also lit up along with the interior lights when the anti theft system was activated. I have never seen it light up before and was wondering if anyone knows if this is supposed to happen or is this a custom wiring thing. :confused

I'm looking for the heat riser tube and 90 degree adapter for the air cleaner. Send me a PM. Bob

I had a problem with the idle when I got the vette back from Las Vegas 2 weeks ago and it turned out to be the connecting linkage was crushed and was binding on the T.V. cable bracket clip. That being all sorted out now, I started to look in the FSM for what the cable does. I found location...

I'm not sure if the year makes a difference, but I need an AIR pump pulley for a 1984.... Send me a notification and we'll work out the details..... Thanks, Bob

Sorry folks for the strange question after all this time on the forum, but yesterday I installed the low coolant level sensor to finally get my coolant temp gauge working again and it only got to 160 for a high and 147 for a low...this seems to be too low a temperature to me. It might have a...

I finally got the Vette back Saturday. I had to catch a ride to Vegas as they wouldn’t send the car back and I had to be at work at 2:00 that afternoon. I planned it out and thought I would make it, but in a perfect world…… To start off, I arrived at the shop after my brother met me at the...
