Hey, hey-- he asked me... ;) Seriously, Jeff fixed me right up. It was a vacuum hose between the MAP and the rear of the plenum that had popped off. After enduring much b*tching and moaning on my end about how my oversized hands wouldn't fit down behind the plenum, Dr. Flint guided me to where...

Well, this is weird. I was gonna post nearly the exact same question. I drove my Z last Monday (5/2) for the first time in several weeks. Probably put 80 miles on it Monday night. Then, went to crank it up Tuesday morning and heard a small "pop." After this, the engine would fire, but after...

According to the numerous threads on CorvetteForum (and one or two here), it's actually not quite as simple as the clutch just going out. It has more to do with a faulty slave cylinder design in the clutch hydraulics, possibly compounded by improper/uneven torquing of the pressure plate upon...

Well, obviously, I could have done this ("pull it out and repair it") from the get-go by taking it to a dealership or other shop and just telling them to fix it. In that case, I would have never posted in the first place. Since my clutch isn't slipping (yes, even with 72K on it), and since it...

Ugh. I just busted mine and my friend's butts last night getting the exhaust and driveline tunnel panel off to bleed the clutch. Never done this before, so it took a long time. Once finally done (early this morning), I took a test drive, and still got the sticky clutch pedal when I let the RPMs...

Likely terminal. I've had it happen on 2 Vettes now, a '98 and a 2000. The '98 was that way when I got it. One day I noticed the 2000's gauge was pegged at 80 and started swearing, because I had hoped that one wouldn't have the problem. A couple of outings after that showed the gauge/sensor to...

Thanks, MsSchroder... Here is my latest post at CF, with quoted answers from a couple of folks there: Wow! Thanks for the quick and detailed responses! I appreciate your taking the time to help me! No, but the fluid on the tranny does seem to have a reddish tint to it... If you mean the plug...

[Also posted this on CF, but wanted to post here, too. Hope y'all don't mind...] Hey Everybody-- I've been experiencing the dreaded "sticky clutch" since Friday, and I'm trying now to flush/bleed the hydraulic system to see if I can fix the problem, at least temporarily. However, upon lifting...

In earlier C5s, probably '97-'99 (or maybe just through '98), the RPO code sticker is located on the underside of the left-rear "cubbyhole" cover in the back of the car. At least, that's how it is for coupes. Maybe they changed it to the glove box when convertibles began to be assembled in '98...

The best thing you can do to your Corvette's audio system after purchasing an iPod (which ROCKs, BTW!), is to buy an auxiliary port adapter, like the Aux-POD (about $189) from Pacific Accessory Corporation, http://www.pac-audio.com. You'll also need their ABGM-10 wiring harness (~$10). Then have...

Okay, Ken-- I'll take a crack at it. Others feel free to add or correct... Actually, designed jointly by GM & Lotus. Also because the production run was going to be too low-volume for any of GM's engine assembly lines, as well as the fact that MerCruiser had experience in building high-quality...

Thanks for the replies, guys! c4c5, I suspect the RDCM as well, because of the "NO COMM" error, as well as the fact that I can almost make the problem come back at will by trying to lower the passenger side window. That said, I've only had the problem come back twice since the initial post. It...

Help!!! I was out cruising to a client's site from my office today in my 2000 coupe when all heck broke loose. I started getting error messages in the DIC and the Check Engine and other lights came on. I pulled over as soon as I could and started copying down DTCs. With the number of codes...

Wow, this car must really be something-- a Z-R1!!! :D And, with only 448 Z-R1s ever made, it's got to be more valuable and rare than a regular, old ZR-1. Plus, it must have an L-T5 engine in it, since it cranks out a whopping 450 horsepower. Compare that to the puny LT-5's 405HP! ;LOL

Colt-- I have a fairly athletic build: I'm 6'2" and 220 lbs. w/ a 36" waist, and I find the ZR-1 seats to be "snug", to say the least! :D It's not so much my butt that gets pinched as my thighs. However, I think the amount of "snugness" will depend on the year. I forget which year it was ('92...

JB-- Any reason why you think next month? Is it because of what c4c5 says about it already having a part #, or do you have add'l info? c4c5-- Do you have any indication on when it will be available? Or what that part # is? I'm not in a hurry, since I believe I can go for probably another year...

Any updates? Have there been any updates on this possible retrofit option? I have heard nothing since reading a few threads on it a while back. I have the F45 option on my car, which has about 67K miles on it. I would imagine that I'll need to be considering shock replacement in the next couple...

I went with 'GOTZR1'. At some point soon, I intend to find a scenic locale, spiff both cars up (at the same time), and get a picture taken with my 'GOTVET' and 'GOTZR1' tags. :D

Welcome to the CAC, thxalot! I hope (and I'm sure we all do) that you'll be frequenting this forum as a ZR-1 owner in the near future. I just completed my search a few weeks ago, and got lots of good advice about these cars from several members of the forum: Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1...

Looking for the 3M cleaner. I see on their site 2 seemingly separate products: 3M Adhesive, Tax & Wax Remover 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner Seems that what I've read about has been the Cleaner. Do I want that or the Remover? Or does it matter? Where is the best place to get these...
