Re: Looking for Oxygen sensors for my engine
I use AC/Delco O2s when I can find them. Haven?t tried Denso and have found that Bosch O2s have a tendency to drop signal intermittently resulting in ECM using Open Loop at times.

Re: 1990 no start issue
Yep. Exactly what I did. I still depress the clutch to start the car altho don?t need to. Just in case I overlooked putting trans in Neutral.

Re: 1990 no start issue
My clutch switch has been permanently bypassed for 14yrs. I swapped one of those babies out on my 84 when I was much younger and flexible. Ain?t no way u can pretzel yourself under there these days.

Re: I really want a C8
The C4 ZR is raw which is so fun to drive. You get the mechanical noises and a direct connection to driving. If I could I?d love to have both.

Re: I really want a C8
True Karl. Perhaps I can hang on long enough to snag one in a few years used.
Bob,
The C8 Z has more hp than the C7Z and is naturally aspirated as u know. No way I?ll ever see a C8 ZR1 unless I...

Re: I really want a C8
I?m totally w u. If its a C8, it needs to be the Z06. Been waiting for a mid engine Vette for over 50 yrs. They finally come out w one and make it pretty much unaffordable. I wouldn?t get the...

Re: High/Hanging Idle
Sounds too inconsistent to be a vacuum leak. Sounds to me that as soon as u stab the throttle that?s when it occurs, then quite possibly the movement of the throttle is what brings on the high idle....

Re: High/Hanging Idle
One other issue to look for is if the throttle return spring is weak. It won?t bring the TB back to nominal position and cause a high idle. Had that issue several years ago altho if I blipped...

Re: 90 stalling issue solved
Varying the vacuum at the FPR varies the fuel pressure. I used this approach on my 84 Xfire so as to be able to use TBI injectors large enough to feed a modified motor at WOT and yet idle properly....

Re: Minimum Air Idle Adjustment
So looks like u should open TB a bit further which then would require fewer IAC steps for idle.
Again, make sure u re-check TPS v whenever u change TB opening.

Re: Challenges setting minimum idle air.
The way to set the IAC is after u have it idling just below ur desired idle, say ALMOST stalling, IOW once u have set ur idle just below where u actually want it, connect everything, restart w diag...

Re: Challenges setting minimum idle air.
Mine is ported and cammed as well. U want to set the idle rpm just below where u want it to idle normally so that the IAC will intervene and keep it from stalling out. My motor idles somewhere around...
