What a beautiful day to start a new year out with, took the Corvette
out and warmed it up good, was a bit hard to accelerate at over 100 in
4th. Wanted to get a little loose on the cold pavement. Had to wash
some road grim off but was still worth it to get it out again, 3 weeks
is to long to let it sit. These holidays just use up way to much of
the drive time needed to keep the Corvette exercised. Tire pressure
was down about 2 degrees in this 30 degree weather, which is not out
of the ordinary. With 14,000 on it I thought about changing the oil
before I head south week after next. Checked the oil life indicator
and it still shows 80%, guess I won`t need to do that.
What a machine, I just realized I checked the outside temperature,
coolant temperature, oil pressure, tire pressure and never bothered to
check the fuel gage. At the mileage this thing gets it is easy to
forget. Although a full tank will run longer than my bladder will
allow on a trip, I guess I`ll still have a warning system onboard.

It was a nice day down here too Dad. I also broke out mine.
But it`s never really "put up". We always have nice days here and
there during our winters. It was in the high 60`s.
I downloaded the stock programming back into it because I put in
a stock T-Stat (heater issues). And it started sputtering a little again
when I hit the A/C. Dang Optispark still isn`t completely dry.
So I reinstalled the HyperTech program. It sure didn`t like the stock
programing.
LOL Trying to hope I won`t have to do the Opti any time soon. <crosses
fingers>hehehehe
Pep Boys finally got the Mother`s PowerBall in. Next week gonna do the
wheels,
it`s been a while since they got a real good polish. And I`m curious as
to how well
it does.

I took my `98 Corvette into a Chevy dealer for the following repairs:
Replaced the Headlamp Actuator... Found internal short on BCM (warranty
company denied claim)... Found brake fluid present (at) EBCM and BPMV Replaced
both modules. Manually bled and power bled BPMV... Found underhood
connector corroded - Repaired circuit and removed connector... Splice SL
8.695 Parts... Changed Oil.
When they returned the car to me the A/C was blowing HOT (much hotter than
outside temperature) out of the center and driver`s side vents, and nice and
cold out of the passenger side vents. The technitian claimed he didn`t touch
anything A/C related, but admitted the A/C worked fine the day before when
he test drove it.
I remember the same thing happened at another Chevy dealer when they
installed a starter. The service writer took it to the back and within five
minutes brought it back working fine. He said the A/C just needed to be
"reset." Unfortunately this tech didn`t have a clue what to do. Anybody have
any idea what could be the fix for this?
Thank you,
Steve
