the wife saying I spend every weekend on the car and pay no atention to her. I think she dont like the vette any more.

but last night I took her to the movies to see bad teacher with cameron diaz. and when she see the carwash part. where the C4 show. she told me. that the only reason I took her to the movies is because they show a corvette on that particular movie.

Really Romulo, now why would she think that. I don't even see a Corvette in that movie. BTW, my car needs painted anyways so yep, I'd let her wash it, riveted jeans, high heels and all. It'll sand out.

hello every one. finally yesterday at 6:34 in the afternoon. my vette start.

the problem. was solve by a mecanic. he came home . I told him the story. you know. all I have done to traid to start the car. after that he took a couple of minutes looking into the car motor.. he did not toch just look. them he told me he want to traied something.

he ask me to get in the car and crack the engine. at the same time he open the air intake all the way.

and guest what ..... the car start right away.

he start leasing to the motor. and told me that need to do more tunning and next week I can take the car to his shop for a compleat check.

I ask him how did he know. by giving more air the car will start.

he told me this car need a lot of air. and some times after a long period of not working the engine. they need that. he also told me that he have to do some fuel preasure test, and more fine tunning. but he will know for sure once he examine the car at the shop.

But in the mine time my car works.

for now in order to start the car I have to open the air intake at max. after start. I have to play with the air into I feel I can go idel by it self.

This is weird. WOT at startup is a clear flood mode. IIRC, it cuts off the injector flow.

not so weird. he doesn't have some sensors hook up, esp the CTS, so ecm may be assuming engine is flooded, with no voltage signal from that sensor. it's been running, so maybe it is flooded.

maybe the mechanic tossed in some secret ingredient.
