20 Most Recent 1997 Chevrolet Corvette - Page 6 Questions & Answers

There are only three kinds of exhaust issues. Blue smoke is oil in the cylinder, white which is steam due to coolant leaking into cylinder and black which is too much fuel

If your car has load leveling shocks/struts at the back, could be the air pump adjusting them (normally with one or more folks getting into or out of the car) - this will occur whether the ignition is on or off, and will keep doing it periodically if there is an air leak in the system.

If you replaced the calipers and the brake pedal is still soft the most common issue is air in the system. Check master cylinder and fill if needed, make sure all lines to calipers are tight and no apparent leaks, have a helper pump the brake a few times and press down holding in the down position (to the floor). At that time loosen the bleeder screw on the caliper releasing the fluid and air in the lines. A rag is recommended to cover floor. Do this on all calipers that were replaced a few times one at a time untill all air bubbles are not present, a clean flow of fluid . Make sure to have x-tra brake fluid on hand and check the master cylinder periodically (fill if low) and proceed with the bleeding process. If you allow the master cylinder to go dry and **** air the process of bleeding the brakes will have to be started all over again, so keep master cylinder level full after a few cracks of the bleeder. best of sucess to you !

check the firing order after the tune up

Details for 3789817 Casting Number 3789817 Manufacturer Chevrolet Category Engine Blocks Type Small Block V8 Date produced 1962-1967 Notes 327, 2 bolt

Check under dash ,check under the hood,check handbook.

Could be heater core/matrix leaking.....is the coolant level going down?

Possible causes, and in an order of where to check first:

1.Fuel filter - Located along the Right frame rail, close to passenger door area.

2.Fuel pump - Located inside fuel tank.
[Electric fuel pump. Pressure should read between 9-13 PSI.
The Cross-Fire Injection unit, is in reality,
Two- Throttle Body Injection units. TBI. ]

3.Fuel strainer for fuel pump. ('Fuel sock')
Located in fuel tank, attached to fuel pump.
The fine mesh of this sock can become restricted over time, by 'sludge' that has built up in the bottom of the fuel tank.
(
'Sludge'. Dirt mixed with moisture that builds up inside a fuel tank. Additives for gasoline that also add to the sludge)

4.Air cleaner element. (Added, because many times this is overlooked by the owner, and can cause bogging down when accelerating hard, if severely dirty. Added as fourth in the list instead of First, but may be the First area to look)

5..Cross-Fire Injection System, (Twin Throttle Body Injection System)
This injection system is controlled by an ECM, (Engine Control Module)
This same ECM also controls the emissions system. (CCC. Close Coupled Catalysts)

It is for this reason, of interaction of the injection, emissions, and ignition systems, that only a qualified, professional technician can diagnose problems with the unit.

Computerized diagnostic equipment, along with the knowledge, and training required, is needed.

When an engine is shut down, the coolant temperature begins to drop. If the vacuum valve in the radiator cap fails, the resulting vacuum in the cooling system can cause a radiator hose to collapse

Does back seat fold down if so do that and crawl in trunk. All trunks have to have a emergency release handle

Please go to the crossfire injection forum to get some straight answers to the 82 corvette CFI system and how to troubleshoot it properly. There's a lot of misinformation given here, so much so, I don't know where to begin.

One thing is, the 82 corvette CFI does NOT have a MassAir Flow sensor system, it uses MAP and O2 mostly. The CTS sends a signal to the ECM telling it what the temp of the motor is and in turn the ECM controls the amount of fuel being dumped. On the older (orignal) CTS sensors, they have one wire and takes its ground from the threads. If any coorosion takes place, usually the CTS will report a cold engine and request lots of fuel.

To repair this issue, install one of the newer style CTS sensors that have two wires, one for signal and the other is ground.

Fuel pressure and vacuum leaks on any CFI motor play key roles. Set the FP to 14-15psi measured inbetween the TBs. The regulator is located on the rear TB and must be slightly moded to make it adjustable and can be done in a few minutes.

Your dash light...(instrument panel fuse is blown) or the headlight switch is bad...If you need any parts...the internet for corvettes is awesome. Hope this helps...(Just over 100,000 ) corvettes were made in 1975...

If your steering is operating normal and you replaced the valve, a front end aling will staighten your wheels and center your steering wheel
