Subject: Re: 25 Oct by Matatk on 2017/10/25 17:57:32 Sorry to hear about your sister in law, Mike. I've had a rough past 2 days with the Corvette. Went to leave yesterday and the car wouldn't start. Wtf. No crank, no start. I tapped the starter, still wouldn't go. Had it hooked up to a jump box which has worked in the past. I ripp d the dash apart and cut out the start enable relay and spliced it. Fired right up. Somehow taking everything apart caused me to lose my VSS signal which I found out while driving. Car stalled twice on the way to work and wouldn't restart when I was literally 4 blocks away. Finally started after 10 minutes of messing around. Fired right up after work. Driving home from work it stalled 3 more times. Now I suspect the ignition switch is the culprit. Started working on it this morning and pulled the entire dash to locate the VSS problem. Somehow the entire pin/wire pulled out of the harness at the IP. I fixed that. Also took out the IP and replaced an LCD panel with a new one I bought 2 years ago....oops. everything back together and the VSS ist working. Of course now I can't replicate the no crank, no start! I know the starter has been iffy from the headers. I already planned on rebuilding it but never got around to it. Now I'm going to drop the steering column and replace the ignition switch, as well. Call it the parts cannon but it's $23 and they go bad over time. Not sure when I'll get to that, either. I hate intermittent problems. Hope everyone has a great day! |
