Spent a couple of days in Arnold this week . Today have to go to Kirkwood across from Lowes and fix BAS system in store . Thats building automation system that is controlled by PLCs and relays . Going to be in the 50s mon and tues.. Must take advantage of that .
Yeah, buddy. Concrete people dug out the area for new driveway. They're gonna pour on Monday. Then all I have to do is wait until cured and I can park on it. Guess the portable garages, car port and tool room will have to be started in the Spring. Gonna be too cold for me to go outside and do any of that.
@@HollywoodHornet Been up since 1 am cst . Cant do anymore . But total success . I keep the lights on for everybody . We will have 2 meet up and I can do your electric . Have a great day . Master electrician for a long time .
@@LilFish0 If you've never done it before get a partner or just wedge something to hold the throttle at like 4 grand then start spraying into the throttle body. The RPM's will then drop to maybe 2Kish? And just keep going until the can is empty. 1st time (if really dirty) black smoke will billow out of the exhaust. After that, it never did it again. I reckon the i take doesn't get that dirty year to year anymore. Especially since I only put like 1K miles a year on the Vette these days. I was gonna film how I do it but the wife was at work the day I did this video so I just did it myself. Perhaps next year she'll help me film if she's home when I clean the intake again.
I got H32 on my 1992 corvette i replaced the egr valve last summer now my engine light comes on the highway then shuts off after awhile any idea what it might be ?
Either EGR valve again and it's all carbon fouled. Or vacuum leak, causing EGR to malfunction. EGR only works when cruising on the highway so after cruising for a while the light will come on of faulty. Then after continuing to drive, you might get enough vacuum built up to open the valve like normal. EGR's are crap and pumping exhaust back i to the engine just dirties up the intake faster. Ditto for the PCV valve letting oil vapors in the intake as well. I'm surprised these cars don't have more problems with all the exhaust and oil recirculation in that intake manifold.
@@rossschultheis8098 I do believe the Solenoid has its own code but I'd have to go all the way to the basement to check the manual and I'm pretty lazy. Plus I'm playing Sonic Origins and that's too fun to put down. The solenoid is also vacuum operated and the solenoids rarely go bad.
@@HollywoodHornet I’m just confused on history codes and current codes on these corvettes H32 is it a legitimate code or history code ? It’s on module 4 in the computer if that helps understanding
@@rossschultheis8098 If the MIL is not currently on, it is considered historic. So if you're driving and light comes on, it will be current. If the light has come on and gone off again on the same ignition cycle, it will be a historic code and it will remain a historic code until and unless cleared using the digital dash or the code illuminates the MIL again or you cycle the ignition. If you say the light still occasionally comes on and goes off again, intermittently, then the code is historic when light is off and current when light it on. Every ignition cycle will make a code historic and it will stay there indefinitely.
Great video and very informative 👍🏻... I have 95 c4 corvette has rough idel and makes a pinging popping sound... I have changed 02 SENSORS, EGR, TPS, IAC, MAP SENSOR and the sensor that screws into the front of the waterpump... but it still runs the same.... any ideas? Please don't say it's the Optispark... Lol
So delete egr and smog control? It's just a air pump that heats up cats and egr is emissions recycling control correct? So I removed electric air pump hoses but I didn't remove the lil box with the plug on the bottom. of that lil shit box under the asr . This way no need to reprogram computer and no code will pop up after smog deletion
If so remember correctly the code only shows if the circuit is interrupted. Thus if you close the circuit by connecting the wires for the solenoid and the EGR, just like a German car's brake wear indicator, the car thinks the EGR solenoid and valve are connected. If you're deleting the EGR solenoid and valve, and AIR pump, cut the wire on the other side of the pigtail, closest to the item you're deleting. Then close the circuit by splicing the wires together.

Is it ok to put carb cleaner in the intake manifold
Yes. I do it about once a year to clean it out real good.
@@HollywoodHornet good to know. I never heard of doing this but if it doesn’t harm anything then I don’t see why I shouldn’t

@@HollywoodHornet yea makes sense and if my egr valve solenoid is bad wouldn’t i get a code for that ? Say my egr Valve is fine

Did you ever find out what it was?
@GORILLA PIMP replaced Optispark, waterpump and plugs and wires and it runs better than it ever did....
0:53 floor it! Isn't that the only way to drive a 'vette?
It's the way I've always driven it.

So on a daily driver it appears it's ok to get rid of the non essentials, egr and air pump/smog.
An EGR is not your friend
