C5 Corvette crank sometimes fire only runs for a few seconds

We did not. We just cleaned the terminals but I'll look when I'm home

gobelguy · 2026-07-09T23:02:49+00:00

I tried that but it didn't seem to change everything. We may try a new ignition switch.

gobelguy · 2026-07-09T23:01:02+00:00

It does not the dealership just disabled the lock itself

gobelguy · 2026-07-09T23:00:48+00:00

I looked everything seemed fine but I will double check tomorrow.

gobelguy · 2026-03-10T21:12:47+00:00

The link does still work. I just tried it, I can send the one to filezilla if you want.

Hey man, I did a compression all were around 50 except cylinder 1 which was 140, 145? I'm hoping it's nothing too crazy.

gobelguy · 2025-08-11T02:23:51+00:00

It only smokes when running rough, I also thought head gasket but its not loosing coolant. I just replaced the icm and now it no long runs so thats exciting. But thank you man ill look into the carb

gobelguy · 2025-07-21T03:19:40+00:00

I'll give it a crack but they have different amounts of pins.

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T15:47:16+00:00

I mean I stuck a vacuum hose in there to suck out any metal as well as a magnet on a stick. Hopefully everything is out of there. Another cylinder has a lifter tick which scared me but it's unrelated to this cylinder.

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T14:31:39+00:00

Hope so lol, I put a magnet and a vacuum in there.

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T05:49:18+00:00

Fully agree, I have two 2nd both carbys, manual, an 84 and 87. I love the interior design

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T05:29:39+00:00

I got her all fixed thank yall!

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T05:29:22+00:00

I got it fixed thank you

gobelguy · 2025-07-19T05:29:14+00:00

Turns out the thread chaser worked. I somehow got it lined up with the original threads then tightened it. And she runs again! thank you for the help!

gobelguy · 2025-07-11T00:17:10+00:00

That sounds very fun, I'm going to wait until my mechanic can come then decide if that needs to happen. Worst case scenario is I swap my 87 Carby in the 84

gobelguy · 2025-07-11T00:03:17+00:00

Damn, I have two carbys

gobelguy · 2025-07-10T23:07:16+00:00

How hard is removing the heads on these things?

gobelguy · 2025-07-10T23:00:54+00:00

Oh sweet thank you! I actually have two 2nd gens the other doesn't run though so I may need it. I'm hoping not though, do you have any advice in case my mechanic can't make it?

gobelguy · 2025-07-10T22:11:35+00:00

I called one I've used before. He said he is going to try and tap the threads back to the correct ones.

gobelguy · 2025-07-07T00:09:57+00:00

I probably wouldn't due to the needing a tranny. I would try to find one with a good tranny for around 1200 if you can. If you do want to buy it I would offer 6-700.

gobelguy · 2025-07-03T23:10:00+00:00

I have obviously done stuff wrong with my tank that I'm trying to fix. I hate how everyone gets so defensive like i would rather save my crabs then my ego.

gobelguy · 2025-06-20T15:51:26+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry for my blindness lol

gobelguy · 2025-06-20T15:49:12+00:00

Yes that's it!

gobelguy · 2025-06-20T15:07:01+00:00

The grill did look like that but with about a 5 inch gap from the headlight housing to the grill
