I haven't been a member long myself but so far people on here have helped me learn that if you are going to own a C4 you have 2 choices Pay someone to fix it or get a Factory service manual and learn to do it yourself. I have found there are the guys who know and will help you and the posers who pretend to know but really dont know anymore than I do.I hope to someday soon teach myself enough to start my 1991 LOL !Then I can help. But one thing I do know if you don't have something worth saying DON'T SAY IT

You need to cool down zbenz. You can learn more on this forum than anywhere else. Some of the guys here are down right expert's. If you don't like it, leave. Have a nice day

I agree 100%, if you're not tryin' to help, then stay on da sideline. My suggestions come from years of experience and countless hours of consultation. I'm sure there are plenty 'vette owners, who will find my conclusions and suggestions very helpful. There are others, out there with disguisable motives, for never seeing private citizens repairing their vehicles. They will always steer u towards unnecessary and costly misdiagnosis.

How fortunate we all are, then, for you to join us with your narcissistic rhetoric.

Y don't we all get back on track. Has anyone got a solution for the C4 which engages the VATS system, while showing no faulty codes, no sign of ignition cylinder failure, strong battery power, good terminal connection and proper key readings. Every sign pointing towards the CCM.

Let's not forget the countless connections, safety switch, starter solenoid, etc.etc

And the fact he might have either a thermally impacted problem, or an intermittant problem.

This is were a FSM, Patience, and a methodical plan come to play..

Exactly my point, if u look in the '95 service manual, it will echo my suggestion, that the CCM and ECM are most likely not communicating properly.
