Hello Vette forum. I have been looking over the forum and gleaning information for a few days since becoming a first time Vette owner. :happyanim:This has been the car I have wanted my entire life and owning one is truly a thrill! I have moderate mechanical skills so input from those knowledgeable owners here will go far to my enjoyment of my new friend.
I have a few issues I have found on this Vette and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thank You for this forum and its great to be here!
ISSUES:
I have what looks like a brake line in front of right rear tire looks like it had a peice of rubber hose spliced in that is mostly gone....no fluid coming from it?
Anti lock light on
Vibration when braking in front end. Going to look at brakes today.
Rattle in front end when going over bumps.
A/C compressor roar?
Overdrive light comes on but car does not shift into OD.
At idle alternates between 600-700 rpms

Hey Captain....welcome to the CAC.....lots of good knowledge here...there will be some help coming I'm sure so hang in there.....glad to have you aboard....:thumb
 
welcome to the forum.....lots of good advice here....start with this....buy a factory manual GM..
then....remove, clean your throttle body...install a new iac....then set the idle and tps...assuming your plugs are good, should be running right. don''t be fooled, the ecm will compensate if you car isn;'t adjusted correctly...get a fuel pressure guage...they aren't much and you'll need it for trouble shooting....have fun:w

Welcome to the CAC:thumb

You may consider breaking down the issues you have and search by each to get more information on the topic. If you need help with the search function let me know. Otherwise feel free to post questions in the technical section of the C4 forums. I would however keep the topic of one issue per post. Multiple issues, could create some confusion once the thread has a good number of replies.
