    My crossfire has sat for years bringing it back to life.

    You can take out the two injectors and spray them with carb/injector cleaner...to remove sticky gas sludge. Also, pulse them with a 9 volt battery.

    C4 buying advice

    The '84 Crossfire Injection system was okay...but it had some issues with the injectors failing due to poor design. Some cured the problem by junking the whole system along with the intake and going with an aftermarket intake and carb. One good fix is to install an Edelbrock Electronic fuel...

    C4 buying advice

    Handling was darn good for both, performance was obviously better for the LT-1, but I was quite happy with the L-98's. I drive my cars for pleasure...not to beat the crap out of them. Trips from Montreal to Ottawa (my kids live there) are a blast every time.

    C4 buying advice

    Nothing wrong with the LT-1, strong motor and 300HP is quite enough for the street. Just look out for Opti-spark ignition, placed under the water pump and gets destroyed if you have a seal leak. Make sure it has been attended to, usually there is a small hose that allows any water to drain out...

    C4 buying advice

    Hey there Puddincorvette! Best advice is to carefully check for what modifications have been done to the vehicle. I prefer to find a car that no one has messed with...camshafts, heads, high stall converters, headers, the stuff that enhances horsepower and performance...which equals abuse...

    C4 corvette brake upgrade

    Check out RockAuto. Did my brakes a few years ago, reasonable price, good quality parts. But price it out now, keeping in mind the exchange rate, possible duties, shipping costs, etc. Compare it to Canadian Corvette parts shops, and Canadian parts suppliers. You may find RockAuto is still...

    Wow. Chinese EVs

    Just don't buy Teslas. The guy is a puke, doesn't give a damn about his employees, basically a very rich nutjob.

    Wow. Chinese EVs

    Ford is being a politician. He has to speak out on behalf of the Ontario auto industry to show support. But he also knows that this country has no real auto industry...we just assemble cars for the US market. We have no product development, no engineering department, no marketing...

    93 40th convertible 6spd

    CONGRATULATIONS!! Really nice Vette! If you go to the National Corvette Museum website, you can access lots of information about C4 model years. I actually wrote to them about the 1993 6-speed hardtop I had in Black Rose...that was a low number production vehicle. Got back a wealth of...

    Tracking an eray

    Fighting an EV fire is quite unlike fighting an ICE type fire. Don't kid yourself, these electrical fires burn out of control at extremely high temperatures. Firefighters, tow truck operators, and even some police departments and first responder operations are receiving courses on how to...

    Hood releases but doenst pop ann inch or two when first opned

    I had the same problem. I discovered that the two hood struts were lazy, as I guess the gas inside them had dissipated over the years. Bought two new ones from RockAuto, really not expensive, and problem was solved.

    Tracking an eray

    Probably the biggest problem with all the pre-C8 E-Ray owners is that they will get their asses whipped and not even hear it coming!
