    Rough Idle after starting cold

    cleaning the throttle body may require someone with a tech 2 or higher to be able to rest the computer. I see a lot of towed GM cars that owners cleaned the throttle body and it set a hard code in the computer. check your fuel pressure. sounds like a fuel problem either cold start valve bad or...

    Wanted WTB XLR - need advice

    Maintenance on an 04/05 is going to be higher with less resale value than a 06/07 . That is a very strong retail price. That should get you an 06 with 60k miles in good shape from the ones I am seeing sold. The cats area matter of driving style and fuel used .I have seen 90/100 thousand mile...

It will not be sold as it has to be installed and set up by someone that knows what they are doing . . it is not a corvette module...

    Help! suspension control modual

    If the module is bad the non mag shocks with sims will give you a proper suspension. With a bad module and mag shocks they are only working at one setting and if they are leaking then you basically have no shocks at all. I sent you a PM Fzjadam

    About to be on my 4th water pump

    thats unusual . It does sound bad. I have replaced maybe 3 in 6 years . not really a known problem. I would as suggested make sure the tension idler is not locked up and moving freely. i would suspect something is out of line with the belt .The water pump location provides for not that much...

    Best Exhaust? 2008 model

    You are correct. Just like the rear sway bar install. I have done 15 or so and never had a customer not like them .If someone does not want to put them on they dont know what they are missing. I had a customer bring a newer25k mile 08 that the was looking at but said it did not ride as well as...

    A/C troubles

    that also is a symptom of a clogged dryer or expansion valve. While he had the system evacuated did he clean the dryer. I always back flush the dryer with nitrogen and usually replace the orifice tube. That will tell you if the compressor is starting to go if there is any metal in the system...

    XLR rear end hops over bumps

    the rear sway bar was left off due to weight. It has nothing to do with pushing the car to the limit. I have lots of 60-80 year old owners who really like the solid feel the sway bar gives the car. You will not feel the car sway when you change lanes. when you enter an interstate cloverleaf the...

    XLR rear end hops over bumps

    sway bar only keeps the car flat in turns . Does not sound like your problem. I would say a shock is locked up. You may have a loose or bad control arm bushing or a bad ball joint. Lots of things . did it do the same thing before the shocks were replaced? how long have they been on the car? I...

I really do not see in the manual or wiring diagram where the temp sending unit controls the inside air. My gauge without a unit showed the...
