try replacing the fuel regulator,that would make it get too much fuel and the code for o2 sensor will come on saying too lean or too rich fuel mixture,and it would run rough

CHECK FUEL PUMP RELAY. TRY STARTING FLUID .IF THAT DONT MAKE IT FIRE YOU HAVE NO SPARK

Change the fuel pump in the gas tank.

the carbon build up is not important here. your intake probably has moisture built up from being stored and exposed to condensation. what i suggest is go to your local auto parts store and buy a bottle of K-100 fuel system cleaner and get a fresh tank of gas in it and put the alotted amount of cleaner and run it for a little while. if that does not work than you may have an ignition problem. the first thing that i would personally try is new plugs and plug wires.

pull plastic push button up to remove. there is a snap ring that holds shifter knob on. remove snap ring pull knob up.

I have a 1989 Coupe and I removed the fuel door and the fuel boot and reached in through the access. You have to have skinny arms, though. It's a tight fit. I've read where some remove the inner fender, possibly the spare tire too or remove the rear fascia. Never tried those since I have skinny arms and can reach through after removing fuel door and boot.

Please don't forget to rate!!!

Circuit Protection The main fuse block on these vehicles is located on the right side of the dash, behind an access panel. These also may be a convenience center which can be found under the hood.
Each fuse block uses miniature fuses which are designed for increased circuit protection and greater reliability. The compact fuse is a blade terminal design which allows easy pull-out/push-in removal and replacement.

Hi,

Has the transmission fluid ever been changed?

I am sorry to inform you that more likely, you transmission system might need complete overhauling. I have seen many cases where there is an issue with rear gears.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

sounds to me that the coil tower is to blame ...go buy a new one and then try it.

This is ran with a ground activated circuit ck for a bad blower motor relay.

More than likely the heater valve is stuck open. You can usually purchase them from the local parts house. As far as the ride most of these cars ride this way. You can update the suspension with newer designs and shocks to allow a softer ride and can even get suspension that is adjustable allowing you to set the ride and performance yourself to your liking. Air suspension is probably also available to allow maximum soft ride.

on top or near the thermostat housing is a sensor it tells the ECM what to do corvettes run hotter than average cars 210 f i believe, i wish i could chek it hands on in '' REAL TIME" FIND A MECHANIC WITH A SNAP ON SOLIS, DONT SPEND ANY MORE $ ON IT UNTIL IT IS MONITORED IN REAL TIME

bushing in motor could be bad once its hot it stops from friction

I would have to say that your transmission failed. The Tranmission was trying to lock up and the engine was being forced to labor extra hard and that is what more than likely created the extra heat.

How does your bose stereo work? You might have a Bose head unit that is consuming power as it sits.

The clutch disk and pressure plate should be balanced and can be mounted in any position that the mounting holes line up. If there is a hole for an alignment dowl, then it is recommended to do so. otherwise it doesnt matter.

The internal balancing is taken care of by the flywheel only.
