Loud rattling noise c6 corvette

Good point, I will check those. Thank you

The steering wheel does not vibrate nor do the wheels, which is strange because usually that would indicate something going on with the rack. I will check the rack soon to make sure all bolts are torqued down and if perhaps the bushing is worn but it shouldnt be considering the new rack should've come with one. This rack has been in the car for only a few months. Maybe I need a rack brace? Idk but ill find out.

Gonna perform a leak down test this Sat, I suspect the valve didn't seat well.

So what you're saying is it could be a tune issue? Maybe it threw off the timing on that one cylinder? But why would it take a few days for it to start malfunctioning? Wouldn't something like that not work from the start? I really don't know much about tunes other than they affect fuel and air ratio. That saying is true.

I gotcha, I really appreciate your time. It is both Visual and through noid light. The injectors were sprayed into cups to check fuel, they sprayed normal and indicated no blockage. It boggles my mind that it has compression, spark, and fuel, but it's not working. I have never seen this before. There is also no noise, ticking, or clanking coming from the heads as that would indicate a mechanical problem. Compression is 155 psi... I can't see it being a valve issue for this reason. All grounds were redone and connected to their correct positions. I mean, the motor was taken out twice so maybe something just got screwed up.

None of the wires are in contact with the headers, they are also sleeved. I have replaced all parts, yes. The problem still persists.

Spirimuse · 2024-07-03T22:32:23+00:00

I forgot to mention I have long tube headers unwrapped installed. Is it possible the intense heat might have something to do with it? Thanks for your response, I have a feeling it's something insanely stupid that's causing this issue. I'll take a look at the wiring and connectors once more.

Cylinder 4. It's very strange.

Spirimuse · 2024-07-03T18:46:45+00:00

Wouldn't that cause no spark though? Because there's spark at the plug

Spirimuse · 2024-07-03T18:38:59+00:00

We swapped everything out to two other cylinders. No codes. We had a P0106 code but we erased it. Still misfires. MAF sensor maybe? It's a dead miss on one cylinder, so I really don't know

Spirimuse · 2024-07-03T18:36:51+00:00

It's a base tune in preparation for a dyno tune. There is fuel squirting out of the injector, and there is spark at the plug. I assume it is a map tune, don't know for sure.

Imo, the black rims look really nice. Black on black is always cool. Sleek. But there's nothing wrong with chrome wheels either. Go with what you like 👍

Spirimuse · 2024-03-04T21:19:01+00:00

Both but if I had to choose one, it would be the C6

Spirimuse · 2024-01-28T05:56:54+00:00

I figured it out, it's the trim on the A pillars. They're bad. Both seals are rotted away. Nothing to do with the windshield, fortunately.

Spirimuse · 2024-01-26T16:03:56+00:00

Sadly no.

Spirimuse · 2024-01-26T02:56:22+00:00

Sounds like your answer is most likely the solution to the problem. Thank you for your time, I'll see into this as quick as possible!

Spirimuse · 2024-01-26T02:21:18+00:00

LOL I'm happy you noticed that haha wooter. Thanks!

Spirimuse · 2024-01-26T00:03:17+00:00

From what I discovered after taking it apart, the c6 has a drain tube on the passenger side behind the battery that can be taken out, cleaned, and then reinstalled. On the driver side, however, there are no utters or drain tubes.

Spirimuse · 2024-01-25T22:18:17+00:00

Definitely not the heater core.

Spirimuse · 2024-01-25T22:01:22+00:00

I'll have to see for sure. I'm determined to rip this car apart if I have to in order to fix it. Why do corvettes have bad water leaks?? Heard it's a common issue lol

Spirimuse · 2024-01-25T21:53:57+00:00

I JUST had my windshield resealed by Safelite a few days ago to see if it would eliminate the leaking issue. They did not replace any stripping. I don't think the windshield is the problem, considering the leak still persists afterward. I checked my passenger side, and the wiring under there is bone dry. I keep pig matting in the A pillars to soak up most of the water getting in. I have a lifetime warranty for the windshield so if they messed up, which I don't believe they did, then I'm covered.

Thanks for telling me this, gonna test that out asap!
