    quick update Big day in the drizzle of feb in portland 😎 I have recorded alot of video today of pulling the driver side head with a full walk through. We are fairly sure we have retraced the steps that a prior owner took on this car. As far as we can tell….At some point, there was...

    i like both of the suggestions! Im thinking i will wait until its done. Because it will be quite a transformation. I was definitely leaning towards a dragon theme because its year of the dragon after all. Night Fury works well. But its more like Night Sweats right now lol.

    Those are both great suggestions. So Air Canada cancelled my flight. Postponed till 2pm. That means Chump and I will miss the opportunity to visit a local boneyard (not open weekends) for some of the non LT5 stuff thats missing like shrouds etc. Oh well im sure this will take a couple trips...

    Just……can’t……stop!!!! 2:56pm Feb 5 2024: Received email from Forum Friend @Blue Bucket List (who i met on my 89 fly and drive field rescue!) with a link to a black 90 ZR-1 #2610, located in Redmond WA, with an asking price of $7500 usd. Within a couple hours and plenty of discussion with...

    Oil pressure issue

    Hey @Ayoub did you figure this out?

    Rough Idle

    OK but 900 is far from the correct idle. Its good that it has leveled out but its not right. commanded idle will be 700. unless you have had a chip installed. this implies that, either you have vacuum leak or you need to carry out the minimum idle adjustment procedure on your car. Did you do...

    Rough Idle

    ill add this if any other ccf 85 owners with an automatic trans find this. obtain an hlh3200 chip. it is a gm chip, released late late late 85 to solve several issues in the auto version. You will not believe the difference. you may need to obtain the hlh3200 bin file from tunerpro...

    Rough Idle

    in that case, simply carry out the minimum idle adjustment you can find the procedure by googling. if the car still cannot control its idle (be sure to use 550rpm base idle) then you have extra air getting in. 85 can maintain its idle, but, it can take it a bit more time to get control of it...

    Rough Idle

    assume this is an 85? is it an automatic or a manual? if its an auto, have you done anything with the prom chip in the computer? have you performed the “minimum idle adjustment” with the min idle rpm set to 550? if you can answer those i can give advice on how to acieve a perfect 85...
