I am 37, bought it 2 years ago. I don't see alot of young people driving c4's.

My 88 still does the same thing yours does. I also just put a piece of tape over the SES light. I changed the egr solenoid switch, and the temp. switch. It didn't solve the problem though. The car runs great, it used to bug me quite a bit(the light). But now I just tune it out, and...

Thanks, car runs fine right now. I will take your suggestions.

I found the leak Its the waterpump. Took it out for about 5 minutes, then it started leaking. Got her home real fast, opened the hood, there she was. Leak coming from the bottom of the water pump for sure. I am relieved I found it without having to do a pressure test. I am not sure why it...

Thanks Moon. Great picture. I will look tonight. Will rent a pressure tester later on this week, when I have time. I will check where the overflow tube might be running to also. Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks guys for all the advice. I did not run the air, had the top off on this day. I will go over the car with a fine tooth comb, before I pull the water pump. I am bound and determined to find out where the anti-freeze came from. There was no sign of leaks from the overflow area. We...

Checked all clamps. I have one spring type clamp left on the big hose going in to the motor. No residue at all on it. Hoses were all dry too. Very freaky incident I must say.

Checked all of these too. Everything looks clean

Looked like the front of the motor if I had to guess, definitely not the side or back.

Coolant on the passenger side of the car. Very hard to determine where it was coming from. A pressure test will tell the where the leak will be for sure. I had the intake gasket, thermostat changed about a year ago.

I got home after a 35 mile drive, and when I put her in the garage, about 1 minute later I had about 8 oz. of coolant on the floor. I checked all the hoses, nothing coming from them. I was thinking it could be the water pump, although after running the car up to temp twice, it never leaked...

Thanks a bunch.

I have a reverse light out on my 88. What is the best way to get to it?

I just changed my oil last week. I used the PF454, I too was a little hesitant to use this one. It works just fine, no problems. Oil pressure is just as good as the Mobil 1 that I used the last time.

EGR valve is underneath the plenum. Egr valve is only like 55.00 bucks, but if you pay to have it done. It will cost you some bucks(couple hundred). I had my intake manifold gasket changed 2 years ago, and I should of had them change the egr as long as they had the plenum off. My mistake...

Caddy, egr problems. My 88 does the same thing. Probably a code 33. Check out the postings on this. I replaced the egr temp. switch, and the solenoid switch. It still comes on when on the highway like yours. In town driving changing speeds, it will not come on. I just live with it now...

Hey Green, are you going to go to the Vette show at the airport this upcoming summer? Did you go to Leman's all Chevy show this year? I will probably run in to you sometime in Bloomington. Look for my Plate CMYC4.

Check for a leaky intake manifold gasket, you will notice leaking down sides of the block. I would have the thing hooked up to a computer to see if any codes are being thrown. Do a car fax on it as well. There is a checklist on this site for new buyers like yourself. Very helpful and thorough.

Thanks for your response. I was thinking of changing these anyway. Glad to here you were able to do it without removing the battery. Mine is definitely a Code 32, an egr valve is about 52.00, but taking the plenum off is a pain. If a shop does it, it may cost a couple hundred bucks. This may...

HPG, let me know if this works after a couple of days of driving. My stock 88 throws the SES light on after about 5 to 10 miles of steady speed driving. Goes out when shutoff, but always comes back on in a couple of miles. I thought it might be the egr valve. I have been letting this go...
