PM Bill Curlee and see if he can give any advice on your problem. He is in Gales Ferry, CT but he may be able to help without seeing the car.
What is the problem specifically?

thanks.
I PM'ed him. i read all 28 pages of the electrical issue sticky. i'm still at a loss. i haven't seen anybody post with codes 1232 and 1233.
i am confused since its both front sensors. so i feel like it must not be the sensors and something above that. cant find it yet.

There is Don Kinder (aka Slowhawk) who works out of DEZ Racing in Seekonk, not sure how much electrical stuff he does though. He does do a lot of tuning. There isn't a single dealer I trust, however, there was one person by the name of Lonny who used to work at Newport Autocenter, but they were bought out a couple of years ago by Barry's and I am not sure if he stayed or left. You could call and ask. He was trained when he worked at Don Angelone, who was a Corvette nut and kept two mechanics fully trained. At the time, they were the only ZR-1 certified center in southern New England. One other place you might call is TByrne, not sure if they can help though.
