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...

Interested in help trying to diagnose the problem with my A/C on another vehicle. Symptoms: A/C cools fine when vehicle is moving; however, at stops (idle) the cold air stops blowing. I have to rev up engine to get cold air. I also noticed that there is no water dripping from bottom of vehicle...

Anyone have any experience (good or bad) using this motor oil. I am due for an oil change on my 2000 and am contemplating this one. Empty3 2000 White Coupe 1990 White Coupe

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. 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...

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...

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...

What year models had the opti-spark system, 93 through 97? I am looking to buy a 98 or 99 (depending on whether is has the opti spark system) or later model (2000 or 2001). 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. Empty3 1990 White...

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...

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...

Hey all, 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...

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...

I just was at a large body shop yesterday to get an estimate to repair the front tip of my C3. I scraped up about a softball-sized area right on the point of the nose (a couple of pictures at http://www.rizzoweb.com/photos/CorvetteDamage/) I almost fell out of my chair when the estimator told me...

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. I got one recommendation for Superior Auto Body in north St. Peterburg. Any...

Have driven a few C3 corvettes recently. Even though my heart is set on a C5 I would consider getting a C3 project car if not for one glaring fault.. THE INTERIOR FINISH !!! UGH ! the interior of the C3 is of such crappy cheap plastic quality and so like an old wooden carriage that I sometimes...

Was just curious if other C5 Corvette owners could share with me how much they pay yearly for Insurance on their vettes. Also wanted to know the best place to buy an extended warranty for a C5 after the factory/dealer warranty runs out....apart from the GM warranty. I recently went to Great...

Got a '77 Want to buy new tires (current are showing small cracks where the thread meets the sidewalls) Size 245/60 R15 I was wondering, (judging by the space left in the wheel well if I could upgrade to slightly wider tires ? These are wide enough, but it would look cooler with slightly...
