My Vette took me to work, went to go to lunch and it would not crank-over. Short story version: By-Passed the Start-Delay Relay in dash center. Car now cranks over, however it will not start. Checked fuel pump has power, does not pump. Replaced pump, car started and I let it run for an hour. Next day it would not start, but did crank. Replace fuel pump relay next to wiper motor. Not starting, any advice. Thank You. 110k miles, automatic,Pressure washed engine bay prior, new cap & rotor, getting spark at plugs, will start on starting fluid, runs momentarily. Thank You, Oz

since i do drivability issues.. you might want to get the vin number and see if GM corvette division can produce the proper build sheet for the car.. i have heard that some years are available... there is some info offsite here.. http://www.oldride.com/library/1967_chevrolet_corvette.html but not on your motor.. all the motors , transmissions and rear ends had a partial vin ... so you can see if the motor.. and after all these years it probably has been changed out.. there are so many knock off cars that have been modified to raise the value.. since you are going to drop the price of a house in some parts of the country.. please spend the time and verify... so you don't end up with termites and a house that was built without permits.. (stolen car)_or Clone... want a laugh. remember the ATT telephone ads with ET..?? saying PHONE HOME... et did not come here to phone home.. he came all this way for a "CLONED PHONE"...

before tearing anything apart... call or visit your local parts store.. some will have loaner tools ask the parts manager or check the counter mat and see if they have a NOID LIGHT SET.. in the loaner tools. edit.. loaner tools you pay for and then get money back when you return them within the specified week or two. these are NOT out on display on the isles.. those you buy and keep. the one on the left end of this picture is for the TBI injectors. http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znetcs/product-info/en/US/grn/27161/image/4/ OEM/6 pcs. noid light set Part Number: 27161 test your individual fuel injector connectors... the last conventional TBI with only one injector firing was a bad connection.. you will also want to OHM your fuel injectors.. they are probably 1.2 ohms.. but compare them... to free up stuck injectors... hmm... usually this takes no more than a 2 second pulse with the connector disconnected... as you don't want to blow out the computer... but use some test leads and positive to one side... and negative to the other side for NO MORE THAN about 2 seconds every 30 seconds.. you don't want to over heat or burn out the coil windings... you might also want to knock it with a screw driver handle.. professional fuel injection mechanics do this test but with a digital volt meter in 10 or 20 amp DC setting in series.. so all the current goes thru the meter shunt to be measured.. and a 3 second test performed while looking at the amp draw.. it should drop slightly.. this tests the injector coil for shorts.. leave it hooked up too long.. and you end up with dead injector.. 2 or 3 seconds is all you need.. the rear injectors are DIFFERENT than the front injectors.. there are PART numbers etched on the top between the terminals.. please note the locations... you can remove the injectors and send them for cleaning.. please photograph and print the image of the part numbers so you get the same injectors back.. please.. DO NOT UNBOLT your throttle bodies from the top of the manifold.. syncing them is quite involved.. so they open at the exact same time.. other posts have talked about using truck TBI injectors.. but i don't know which one.. there are several articles on the crossfire here in the corvette magazines on this site.. i can link them if you have not read them... there is also a 8 buck pdf download of a crossfire tech manual available online if you don't have a crossfire manual.. the az site covers crossfire in 3 different sections.. 82,C3.. 84, C4, and 83, firebird follow what i have posted.. as i work on these often.. and am very familiar with TBI fuel injection..

Does anyone know if this model year, auto transmission, came with cassette only stereo and manual a/c? The ad says it was "lightly equipped" whatever that means. I had a '94 with CD and climate control so thought it was kind of strange. I was thinking about buying this vet, low mileage, flood damage only to carpet and seat assembly. Has a reconstructed title. Am I crazy?

Make it a country wide event?
I'm hoping to get the word out on an event we're planning here in Southern Nevada we're calling "60 for 60", a celebration consisting of a car show/display, food, trivia, and general gearhead good times with the highlight being a Rev-Off of all Corvettes present to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the first production Corvettes to roll off the assembly line. While we're looking forward to a great celebration here in Vegas, what I'm hoping to generate is a nationwide event where Corvette owners all over the country gather to celebrate their mutual passion for Corvettes... then at precisely 12 Noon Pacific Standard Time we all fire up the motors and make some joyful engine noise. So if you're in a club... put something together in your home town. If you're not in a club, maybe look one up and see if they're doing the event. Or hey, no saying you can't just go into your garage at Noon PST, open a beverage and fire up your Vette for 60 seconds. Your neighbors won't mind... I'm sure they've heard it before! Anyway, I hope you'll participate, and if you do, maybe post a video on Youtube at 60 for 60 Corvette Rev-Off. I'll be posting a promo video soon. Let's go make some noise!

here is a link to how to open the C3 hood with a broken cable.. http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette?frame=1.3852 here is the pictures and text.. HTTP://content.mamotorworks.com/img300/fr3852.jpg Shown above are some pictures of the hood latches on a 1978. Nothing is more frustrating than pulling on the hood release of your 1968-1982 Corvette and having the cable snap! We have observed this happening at nearly every show that we attend. Simple maintenance, such as lubricating and checking the cables for wear will reduce the chance of unexpected failure, but if the worst does occur, there is a simple solution. Located in the windshield wiper well, just in front of the windshield, are two access ports covered by plastic plugs. These are positioned just behind the hood latches in the engine compartment. Take a few minutes to check the location of the ports and their positions relative to the hood latches. In an emergency, you can push a long screwdriver through these plugs on 1968-1976 models and flip the hood latches forward enough to release them. On 1977-1982 models, the hood latches may be tripped by prying the driver's side latch lever to the outside. This should release both sides, but if it only releases the driver's side, then repeat the procedure on the passenger's side access port. A) Shown here is the driver's side hood latch. Insert a long screwdriver (approx. 12") through the grommet from the windshield side and insert the tip into the slot on the latch. Push in the direction of the arrows. B) Here's a close-up of the drivers side latch with the screwdriver engaging the slot. If the crossover cable isn't broken, this should pop the hood. C) If the crossover cable is broken, you will need to repeat the procedure on the passenger side. The passenger side latch works a bit differently. Insert the screwdriver to engage the tang shown on the right and lever it down (in the direction of the left-most arrow). D) The screwdriver only has to be inserted an inch or so to engage the passenger side tang. Take a few minutes now to check out these access ports and practice the procedure. It's much easier to do if you practice with the hood open and get a feel for the locations and distances to reach these latches. If your cables are old and looking frayed, replacement now would be strongly suggested. By learning this simple technique, you just may "save the day" for yourself or a fellow Corvette owner.? post if you get it open...

Was recently given an 84 vette, that was gutted, has a partial dash, steering wheel, and wiring. Was also given a 85 tpi engine and trans to use in the car along with an 85 ecm. I realize i'm going to run into some wiring issues, but what else can i expect to have issues with. Another thing i noticed while going over the car was a data plate under the fuel tank lid was not from an 84, it was from tpi 350, should this be telling me the old owner had all ready started the 85 conversion, or am just wishing? Any help would be great, thanks Phil

Im going tomorrow to purchase an 84. Were lots to choose from. My favorite had the carb swap I've read so much about here in the forums. In the end I think I'm going to go with one that has not had the swap. I know headaches I may be in for but my concern is the eventual value of an "all original vehicle" It seems to me that it may eventually be more desirable. Looking for input. Great Forum by the way. It will very useful I'm sure.
