No I did not pinch off the return line. I will do that this Friday when I gain access to the car. If I buy an OBD1 scanner. I do not need the engine light to come on, is that correct?
I thought that the light was an indication that the ECM was seeing everything it needs to see. But, if all I...
I was affraid to just go look up injectors that fit. The ones that are in the car fit. But, Gordon , Mr. Corvette, said that the resistance is important and these have the wrong resistance. Thank you for the help.
Hello Everybody,
I spoke to Gordon Kilebrew and I think he said that my 1985 Corvette uses Lucas fuel injectors 101081. But, every time I try and search Lucas fuel injectors all I get is Lucas injector cleaners. Did I hear him correctly. in.
Presently my spark plugs get so black that I need...
I purchased a 1985 Corvette 4 plus 3. The accelerator and other throttle cables were not on the car. I have done a few google searches but have not been able to determine the cables I need. Does anyone have a picture of the throttle tang with the cables, the cables part number or any way that I...
Hello,
I checked the resistance of the Fuel injectors yesterday. All of them have 12.5 Ohms resistance. The stock resistance is supposed to be 14 - 16 ohm. A guy on YouTube said the actual number is not as important as the fact that they are all about the same.
I measured the fuel pressure...
Hello 65z01,
The SEL does not come on when I turn on the key. I forget the page number but I did find the circuit in the FSM. Presently I am on vacation so I don't have the FSM disc or I would give you the page number. The car is in a Auto Hobby Shop on Navy Base Guam. I need to pay 6 or 10...
Hello,
I got my 1985 project car running. But the idle is really bad. I am checking the TPS today. I cannot pull codes. Shorting AB on the ACLC does not work. I am thinking of replacing the ECM. Should I go with a 85 replacement or is there a better option.
Thank you
Joe
Hello,
I am restarting a 1985 Corvette. I have the car running and I am trying to see if the sensors and ECM are working correctly. The previous owner did a little rewiring.
I put a paper clip in terminals A and B on the ALCL. The check engine light did not come on. I am wondering what to do...
Two things
1) Someone from the Corvette Forum had a picture of the connector I need.
The former owner installed an Alpine security device. There is a LARGE bundle of wires looking at the bundle I actually think the connector is in the bundle.
2) I depressed the Cruise control switch. It has the...
Yes I am talking about the rear and roof brake lights.
When I was driving my other car. I realized that there is no electrical connection to the brake light switch. There is however a connector with a blue and white wire connected to the cruise control switch. I think that this connector...
Hello everybody,
I own a 1989 6spd Z51 Corvette. I just changed the brake booster and the brake lights are on and will not go out. I tried the adjustment procedure in the manual and the one listed on the Corvette forum. The lights stayed on. Then I had my daughter look at the lights to see if...
Actually getting a little better at using the FSM. And, yes it did help. I went to the CLSTR/CLK fuse and did see as you a lot of stuf is on that fuse. Turns out it was a fuse that I replaced the fusible wire link with. I had to jump the car and the cables must have touched the fuse block and...
Hello Everyone,
I own a 1989 Z51 Manual Corvette. My interior lights and cigarette lighter just stopped working. I am looking at the fuse block diagram and trying to figure which fuse if any operates those components.
As I look at the diagram I am reading the numbers on the block and the fuse...
So I have a 1989 Z51 6 spd. It was backfiring since I bought it. But it started to backfire so badly on deceleration that it would stall. I read on one of the threads that the injectors could be the problem. I called a company that rebuilds the fuel injectors, I forgot the name but I got it from...
You are correct. Just after I posted the thread I looked at the photos and said . Could use a little cleaning. I had to clean the cigarette lighter with 1500 sand paper so that the lighter worked. No lighter. No Cell phone. No tow truck, YIKES!!!!
Thank you
Hello Everybody
I own a 1989 Z51 6 spd. My horns do not work. I took the center off the steering wheel and found this. Is this what it is supposed to look like. The spring is on the yellow wire. When I ran a wire from battery ground to the yellow wire the horns did sound.
Okay so this morning armed with the advice you people have so graciously provided. I jack up the Corvette. Remove the tail lights and start looking for power and ground. After about an hour and no luck I decide. To look for a fuse. Holy crap the lights have a 10 amp fuse. I thought that all the...
