I bought my C4 back in December as a project car. However, I have been driving it daily and it has been extremely reliable, so to calm my wrenchin jones I have been modifying it as money permits. You know if it at broke; fix it until it is. So today on my fourth or fifth trip of the day. I got my first trouble light. The wife and I went on our errand and we got home around 1830/630pm and I excitedly busted out the Helms manual in order to troubleshoot my first problem. (Remember this was supposed to be my project car) Well I jumpered pins 3 and 4, read the three 12s, the 3 21s and then it repeated the same cycle a few more times so I figured cool I have a 21 Left front time out. Woohoo finally something to fix.
So I started the car to move it into some light and the Service Ride Control Light went out. So I took the car for a ride. I have been driving more than an hour, and no light. I have cycled through the settings, stopped and shut the car off a few times but still no trouble light.
I think that this is the most reliable car I have owned to date and I guess that once I perform my head and cam install, I will start hunting for a new project car since this damn thing is not going to oblige me. I know I could try an early C4 but I don't like the round tail lights and 250HP aint going to cut it. The wife saw a late C3 that she liked, HMMMM. Maybe with two Corvettes????

Mike, I keep telling you,-if you need a project car, do like I did, buy a C-5. Talk about some serious garage time! This old girl is coming along though, a couple years and lots of money should get 'er done! LOL!
