I am coming up from Birmingham for the week of the gathering. I have a 86 C4 that I have just started a restoration project on (its rough right now but thats the way I like them - it will top flight NCRS like the rest of them in a year or two). It runs and idle fairly rough even though I didnt do the internals, I went through top end when I got it for preventative maint purposes,(intake gasket,valve cover gaskets) new ignition (cap,rotor,wires,coil,plugs) all new injectors and fuel pump (car had been sitting). cleaned tank. cleaned throttle body. Set timing and did idle air factory reset per manual. Cranks and runs ok...just not crisp and has a slight hunting idle. Wondered if you would have time to give me just an hour or two of your expertise (my current thinking is it could need throttle body replacing although no visable damage or a vacuum problem with the egr system - I rebuilt all the vacuum hoses.)
thanks!
This car is a 4+3 car - no interior (have it stripped) paint peeling...gonna soda blast. I know, in case some one posts) that I can BUY a nice 86 for next to nothing but I enjoy restoring these cars, I also am involved in Corvette show judging and I get a lotof valuable research doing these types of projects. If I can get some help, I will trailer this car up instead of ZR1 #278
