within a week of purchase i wos stranded
motor pulley grinding against racknpinion
towed to the local shop
$440 cause has to remove steering
****** pulley broke
replaced with same ****** pulley wtf

now it takes 20 mins to get this thing started
"remove key wait 10 seconds"
"service column lock"
"service active handling"
"service vehicle"

everyeone told me to get a hybrid
this one girl said i cud have got a new honda for the same price as this c5
dont buy an american car watever u do dont buy an american car my coworkers said

if i drive anyway, the fuel shuts off
the steering wheel doesnt lock
even with the key removed hehe

02 C5 M6

is it true we have leaf springs like a truck ?
and gigliotti wants 2.4k$ deng

okay i read threads for more than three days
now i am wondering if i install a column lock bypass module will the fuel still shut off ?
i want to prevent this fuel shutoff

then there is this active handling issue to worry about

but if these are quick and not so difficult fixes i think i got me a nice fixerupper ?

thank you corvetteforum for the fast response

i did read about the LMC5 although i thought it was the same thing as the CLB

thank you 8Vette7 for pointing out they are different i intend to order one today or pick one up if i can find one locally

this morning it took another couple dozen fingerbangs with the keys to get it going , almost as frustrating as it is embarrassing

a few blocks down the road i get check engine so i park and run codes

Clear all your codes take it for a ride. Before you shut the car off pull the codes again.
Or did you already??

I bought a 99 with 50,000 miles on it ,I had to install the LMC5 the second day I had the car 45.00 and 20 min. of work no problem since. I have no rattles or any other noise drives fantastic,I get a charge out of the GM haters, 15 yr. old car very little to complain about and 29 mpg highway,I could go on all day. Buy a used BMW or Audi and see what it costs for repairs ?????

StarfireHail

west coast corvette has column lock bypass but it is not LMC5
looks like i cant pick it up today and instead has to wait for shipping =(

StarfireHail

just back from autozoan
now i have to give 2-3 dozen tries before she starts
it wasnt like this the first week or two i had it

he said battery read 12.7
i was hoping i could just buy new battery and everything would work today but no

when i got back i reset all codes but some were there after reset

The LMC5 comes from a place around LA. Give them a call.

StarfireHail

get out of work service column lock
after a few tries I figure I best warm up the whole thing , maybe charge the batt a bit

car doesnt even try to start

all coworkers already gone

didnt think id need roadside assistance so soon

for the third time this week

look at phone its 1131pm in beverlyhills

look around outside and notice

im the only one in an american car

StarfireHail

west coast corvette didnt have LCM-5 , only that other module

where are you talking about exactly I may need to get there after a nap we will see how comfortable this car really is ?

I hope they open early

StarfireHail

seat didn't recline back far enough for comfortable sleep

I should return it for that reason alone

called a friend to come get me , she brought cables

she connected our black posts and then our reds , then started her car

she told me to start mine but nothing at all happened

maybe if i wasnt ****ing around taking the key in and out and waiting ten sseconds 42 times in a row four times a day day after day this wouldn't have happened ? maybe the test at AutoZone didn't help either

so difficult to think straight wen so upset

I'm thinking I buy the LCM-5 tonite

and will buying a battery tomorrow start the car ?

StarfireHail

security light is always on

if it tells me to remove key and wait ten seconds it will flash security when the keys are out

Call Richard at Compliance Parts. He is located in Malibu according to their website. He is very helpful.

8vette he may be like I was and didn't know the key had a pellet that i think is a anti-theft feature and if the switch is bad it will not read the pellet and therefore car will not start, do I have this correct. The pellet is the thing on the side of the key that most vehicles don't have, correct? Thanks man for all your insight into these complicted vehicles.

bjones7131

Richard is some more guy to do this, sorry i can't help with the no start but listen to 8vette, very knowledgable guy, good luck and let us know what the issue turns out to be.

StarfireHail
