Default I don't get it --Rant

Yesterday I started a thread about trying to install a throttle position sensor. Pretty important in my book. I got only one answer a smart a** smiley icon. Then I came back to check to see if I have any responses and get none but I notice another thread that asks if white is a girlie color for C5's and he got 47 hits WTF??? I did search all the posts for TPS threads but needed more info. Just disappointed more help wasnt provided.

Do you think if it was posted in C5 tech it may have had more attention? Or try asking if someone has a manual for your year could they scan or copy and paste the directions. I hope I didn't come off as a smart a**. Bill

Looks like you have a white vette. Maybe it is a girlie color.
Good luck. Tech IS the place

Not laughing at your situation, but I loved your comment about the "GIRLIE COLOR" thread.

I am positive that you will get your answer in the TECH section (as many have stated), so post there and hope you get things figured out soon.

Welcome to C5 General home of the most "show-n-shines" on CorvetteForum. Next time you should ask what wax to use, or what color to paint your calipers, what exhaust is best or "look how shiney my car is" oh yeah, whine about someone not waving to you. That really brings this crowd out. The responses will go on for days.

Seriously, Tech is the place.

to install the TPS, you'll need a "tamper proof" torx #15 bit. (looks like a normal torx 15 with a dimple in the tip) I believe there are 4 or 5 bolts. Just make sure the gears line up correctly when you put it back.

Most C5 owers are barely above ricers w/ the things they're concerned about when it comes to mods. Most threads are:

"What's the best wax?"
"Who has the cushiest floor mats?"
"Where can I get more stickers and painted **** to put under my hood?"
"Where can I get more louvers for the lights?"
