Anybody help me pinpoint the problem.
90 Vette Coupe, 120,000 miles. Houston Tx: CO2 state emission allowance
failed at both low speed and high speed.\
I have heard tapping noise from the passenger side of the valve covers
(possible lifter), would this cause
CO2 emissions? This could also be a...

2000 Vette - turn signal by
Empty3
All,
The turn signal on my 2000 Vette seems to only work at random. Any solutions?
Where is the turn signal module (is this what it is called? The older Chevy one were
round; and could this be the problem.

2000 Vette: AC or tensioner by
Empty3
All,
My newest Vette is running great, but I do note the following.
With the car running and AC on, the engine hum is normal; however, as soon as the AC is turned off,
I hear a recurring clicking sound ("taka taka tat" something like this intermittently - hey, I'm not a mechanic). My brother...

Another C5 oil question by
Empty3
Hi all,
I just changed the oil on my 2000, but the gauge still shows 50% remaining life. The 1990 had a procedure to get rid
of the "change oil" light, does the 2000 Vette have a procedure to reset?
I used Mobil 1 10-30 (synthetic). I also drove around to see if a sensor has to "pick up" the...

Got my second Vette - oil question by
Empty3
All,
I bought a 2000 Vette (other one is a 1990); both are coupes.
The 2000 has heads-up display. The "trip" gauge states that oil has 53% life.
My question, what is a good rule of thumb to change the oil; i.e. at what % should I change?
Also, the oil pressure appears to be broken (since it is...

VOTR - Denver by
Empty3
Anyone go to the Vettes on the Rockies (VOTR) this past week?
I happened to be in Denver all week, and I was heading to Nebraska on Thursday. I must have seen over 50 Vettes heading west on 76
I rented a Dodge Magnum - boy did I miss my cars upon seeing the Vette caravan.

Replace all injectors by
Empty3
Hi All,
I had posted that my 90 Vette failed emissions (freaking Houston), and it
all points to one fuel injector.
The question is, should I go ahead a replace all injectors since the top of
the engine will be torn apart and
I'll get hit with $500 in labor (no matter what).
I'm thinking yes, but...

Vette spurting/misfiring this morning by

Any clues as to what caused my 90 Vette to spurt and misfire this morning.
Because of the cooler temperatures, I've been running the car about every 3
days.
This morning, upon starting, it just kept misfiring and would turn off.
After about
the 4th attempt (after I had checked all sparkplug...

I waded through previous posts, did several searches and found this
topic covered a few times, but I was hoping to find a bit more detail.
The oil pressure in my 99 C5 reads 130 constantly (from startup). The
analog dial is constantly pegged. I've had it for about 10 months and
it's...

Hi all,
I've got a C5 coupe that I <shudder> was driving in the rain recently.
I noticed a leak where the sunvisor attaches to the windshield frame.
Not sure if that's exactly where the leak was at, but that's where it
was dripping from.
Is this common? I dug back several pages and saw some...

C5 wiper motor by

Hello all,
Strange problem with my '99. Recently had it in the shop to have a
headlight motor replaced. Since then, my wipers come on randomly (with
no use of wiper control). It seems to be when some kind of "G-force"
occurs (braking, extreme acceleration, hard turn, etc). The wipers
will kick...

The unit was removed with the gears and sensors left in the housing.
We do not see the pinion from the drive input. The differential has
about 11,000 miles and removed from a 1999 as OEM.
We removed this assembly and installed a 3:42 ratio, so whatever is
needed to do another installation is...

For the Tampa Bay area readers: do you have any experience with body
shops in the area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater) for minor fiberglass
repair. The tip of my C3's nose got scraped up and I'm not sure who to
take it to.

Even though my heart is set on a C5 I would consider getting a C3
