C5 problems
Hi friends
Have some issues that you might be able to help out with
1 I have a P0480 code that keeps coming on, i changed out the stock radiator for a aluminum one and the stock fans as well. The car seems to be running a bit hot .
Any suggestions as to the next course of action.
2 I have replaced the blower motor and resistor and while it threw a lot of air outside the dash, it barely moves the air when fully installed. is it possible that an actuator door is stuck? before installing I vacuumed out the ac unit with a shop vac hose so there is minimal if any debris in it.
3 i have a oil leak in the front of the engine that seems to be getting worse. 2 years ago I had the timing set, front main seal harmonic balancer, timing cover and water pump replaced with ones I bought at Summit Racing. Possible culprit -> upper oil pan gasket?
Any guidance on any of these issues would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. BTW the car is a 2000 base model with around 90K on the clock

Can you read schematics? Do you have a DMM and test light?
