Bad Bad Bad Idea

no problem w emission testing...140,000 mi, passed ok

THAT'S MY POINT. "Not that bad".... when do you describe a 'vette as "not that bad"? when it looks like THAT!! my opinion

a PIMPED out vette looks like a cheap 11th avenue penny-whore no matter who did it. My opinion. I sometimes have trouble expressing myself.

If both sides are out, check fuses first. this is most likely the problem.

I think so....I assume you have looked for the right one for your year? It should not be hard to find!

Up untill last year, my '87 was my daily driver with 144,000 miles. I'm the original owner and took care to maintain and replace components (sometimes pro-actively) as necessary. Don't sweat the miles...enjoy. It sounds like "good mileage" to me.

would a malfunction set a code?

How do I check this?

Here's the scenerio. 20 or so miles, stop-n-go traffic, warm day, engine temps between 209-227, 1/4 tank left, I pull in for gas and had trouble opening the filler cap because of the pressure. When I did open it, man, I thought that gas was gonna erupt at any moment. I mean it was a VIOLENT...

It's fixed!!??! I went back to the fuel pump connections, cleaned the connector and monkeyed with a rusted ground. It started to work again. hmmmmm. Sounds too easy, but I'll accept it. Goes to show just how finicky the 'Vette is with electrical grounds.

charge the battery then disconnect it. Let it sit idle for a couple days. Re-connect and start the car. Note the cranking speed (if at all) and the standing voltage. If the voltage is below 12v, and the cranking is slow, you have a toasted battery. If not, the alternator is the culprit.

This is a strange one. My fuel rate stopped working. I really dont Know when that happened. I recently replaced my fuel pump, but the guage seems to work. Where is that data coming from? Any Ideas?

my 2 cents. My brother-in-law has a 2002. It is definately a fast car, however my car IS faster off the line for about an 1/8mi, giving the perception of greater low-end torque

Looks interesting...where's the prices?

check the rear bearings! This happened to me; caused my abs to come on. the noise you hear is what may be a failing rear wheel bearing.
