Nice! Glad it helped you.

Yes, it is a small thing and another rotation was needed and it was corrected. it is all where the engine stops when you shut it off. we just got the luck it stopped on the other side.

I can say that I have to do this again and will be creating another video on the process. it is difficult and I found that removing the screws that hold down the dashboard/pad helped give me the extra space. the alternative is to remove the dashboard/pad, which is a pain!

your welcome

The red one, yes, the silver one no

I dont understand your question?

I had two ports blocked, but were water passages that were not used. If I remember correctly when was in the front left corner and one was in the rear right corner of the intake manifold. But they were water passages. Not air / fuel passages.

There is another video of me taking it apart that shows that. I forget which one it is, but I do have one showing that. yes, I should have referanced it in this video, but Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda... LOL

Have you checked the rails pressure? Is the fuel filter clogged? Does the fuel pump working properly that's in the tank? Did you connect all the vacuum lines correctly? The vacuum lines underneath the plenum, and those connections? Have you tested the injectors to make sure they are all working? I know these sound like mundane questions, but they're all things that I checked on my maroon 88.

@@donaldcombs4677 thank you for the quick response but I just checked all of those things and they are all working properly and the connections are good but I still have no start is there any other things it could be it’s either timing spark or air related but that’s about all I know

@@Brandon-Koller do you smell gas when it dies?

Check your injectors and the cold start injector to see if they are leaking and flooding the engine. that might be the issue.

@@donaldcombs4677 I checked and my injectors are working and not leaking do you have any other ideas?

You have either a grounding short or a lack of grounding in the system. Check your grounds throw wiring diagram. You can get one probably off Corvette forums. I'm not home right now or I'd snap a picture of it for you and send it to you. I ran into the same problem on the interior. There is also the courtesies sensor module behind the information panel that also could be going bad on you.

I believe the courtesy sensor modules behind the information panel, it could also be to the left of the heater core box. I forget where that sensor module is exactly

I'm sorry, it's very early for me. The dimming sensor on the control board of the digital dash? Or the dimming knob on the light switch?

I would say the same thing but the dipstick was on the other side of the engine and when I cleaned off the oil filter in the oil cooler and then ran the engine again I could see it dripping down the side of the cooler

@@donaldcombs4677 So if it’s not the dipstick tube or lines, both on the passenger side on the C4, then the gasket must have failed somewhere. Hopefully you have it all taken care of. I literally just got out from under my sons 1989 Corvette. Did a transmission oil change and filter, plus the trani dipstick grommet as it was like jelly and leaking from there. Thanks for your video!

Where are you located?

@@donaldcombs4677 San Antonio Texas

@RicardoALarco ok, that is a little far for me. You can probably have a local mechanic do it for far cheaper than shipping it to me to do.

and this coming from a person that has no videos, no content and no clue. So are you one of those people who are hired to spread bad reviews and comments? What did you not learn about the lift struts?

No it is directly coming from the oil cooler and filter section. It's not coming from anywhere else it's not dripping from above, it is coming directly from that area.

Your welcome, Glad it help you.

Unbelievable due to the fact that in 35 years NO-ONE changed it. and grease can be used as well, but anti-seize was what I was told to use to solve the issue.

What brand did you use for the brake fluid and did you use dot 3 or dot 4?

@@Lmaow-bc8ym Dot 3 Valvoline Some brands say 3-4 on the bottle .

I didn't either, I had to pull plugs to find where the leak was.

My Wife just tried to do that. we will see how it works out. Someone tried to forge her signature and take her car so she is fighting it. she has all the paperwork set and handed in.

Not yet, fixing my house right now. when that is done I will get to the oil leak. It is small right now.

LOL!!!! Yes, that is true!!! Thanks Paul, I needed that!

?? This wire bundle came out of the center console.

@@donaldcombs4677 yes I seen that but I’m sure there’s wires there that lead towards the back of the car

@ricardocenteno375 no, all these wires go the center console and glove box.other harness feeds the back of the car.

@@donaldcombs4677 ok thanks

I thought about it but most people wont do that. I might so that to the red vette as some have already been removed. But i am still talking to the insurance company about the smoke damage.

Thank you! I was lucky I was working in the room when it started.

I am at ta lose as to what top do with the C4...Unless the insurance fixes it it will always smell of the fire.

@@donaldcombs4677 There are techniques you can use to reduce the smell. It will be time consuming, somewhat tedious, and yes, cost a bit of money, but it can be done. Please let me know if you're interested.

@@ROXSTARCorvette4371 I am interested but right now I'm waiting for the insurance to make up their mind on what they're going to do

@@donaldcombs4677 OK. Let me know when you're ready. Please have a pencil and paper handy to take notes.

Used parts are also hard to find in good condition. usually the parts are as worn out as the car they came off of. I do know what you went through as I did that to one of the pieces on the silver vette. but like you I was able to super glue it back together.

Yes because it pressure Rises the entire cooling system including in the block of the engine. If it was pushing water past the gasket and into the cylinder to be mixed with fuel and burned would cause the white smoke that I was seeing. In order to test that and make sure that that was in fact the case you get this pressure test you pump it up and as time goes by the pressure should drop because it's forcing the water into wherever it's leaking.

If you have seen the rebuild, seen the car run after, then NO. Mine runs like a top. all it needs is a refined tune done to the engine. or if it is currently disassembled: If you have all the parts then not at all. you can go to the rebuild of my engine if your is an l98. or you can get the general idea of how to reassemble these engines. there are many resources for the engines of these cars. now if that is all that is the issue, no interior work needed, or body work, glass, carpet well just about everything in the car is expensive to replace. think of what you want the end result to be. I wanted daily driver, so I opted not to do anything with the exterior body other than clean and wax it. if you want Concours Condition then you will spend a LOT of money...

That sounds like a good idea... I just might.

Off the top of my head I do not know. the best way to find out is to take a magnet to the floor pan both top and bottom. if it sticks it is Steel and not aluminum. Also if you search for the replacement pans it will tell you what they are made from most of the time. Sorry to hear about the crappy fix you have to now repair. those always suck!

Sorry about that I bought those emblems off a place on eBay it was not Eckler's it was not Corvette one it was not flight it was not zip Corvette but a person selling them on eBay. I believe in the original video where I showed the actual pieces of the emblem moving around because they came unglued I showed you where I bought them. They did replace them from the first video but they did not want to replace them after they faded like they are now

Again sorry for admitting that information

@@donaldcombs4677 That's OK, thanks for the update. ALSO - Really sorry to learn of your house fire. I hope it all gets repaired quickly and expertly.

@@kenromeo6270 I hope it gets done quick to all depends on how fast ServiceMaster and USAA Insurance works

Thank you, Yes, my daughter, her friend and I are all very lucky that it happened during the day. I was in the living room when it started and am glad no one was hurt. I am also very thankful and grateful that I still have a home to live in right now. Thank you.

Yes, It was a close one for me. I am very glad no one was hurt and the damage was minimal.

Thanks! it sucks but one day at a time. As the Heart is doing good, Thanks for asking.

Me too... Everything is ok except for where the fire happened. lol
