Don't worry...when that many codes come up just clear them all and see which one comes back first.

Than fix that first one...otherwise

Remember these cars are getting old, repairs need to be done. I've been through it many times, but the reward to me is greater then the headaches!

Sounds like my 87. I bought it 2 years ago. I have had to replace most everything,
Brakes, booster, egr valve, pcv, maf sensor, water pump, starter, battery, headlights, parking light. New Tires, etc.

But I sort of figured I would need to spend some money on her, but now she runs great.

My car is now 23 years old and needs some attention. But needing less and less attention as she gets older. I think I have fixed most everything.

Fairly soon, I am going to be redoing my interior. I have bought almost a nearly entire interior. Luckily things are still available for her and fairly cheaply.

That sucks. I guess it comes down to rebuild an old car, or get a newer one. That would drive me nuts. Good luck, I hope you get it all sorted.

It absolutely never ends. I have a roughly $16k, counting fixes and purchase price, 1987 Corvette, and the meter is still running. You're having a bad stretch, I've been there.

The good news is, if you hang in, you'll get it running properly, and love it. The bad news is, even after you get it fixed, there will be bad days.

Takes a special kind of crazy to own an old Corvette.

Seems to me, my troubles come in three's......

It'll run great for months and then three things will need attention all at once and the car sits for 3 weeks.

I always feel better after "defeating" the issue and getting the car back on the road.
