Default please help:

My corvette ran hot and now it will not crank. I stopped before it ran completely hot and let it rest, put water in the engine, taped up the hose with the leak and drove it home. I replaced the hose to the thermostat and it turns over but will not catch. it spit out fire thru the air intake port . so it stopped trying. any suggestions?

What year is the Corvette?

This is the Help section for help regarding the website itself, forum issues and account issues. You will receive much better responses if your post was in one of the Corvette specific sections. Normally, we'd move your post but we'd need to know the year of your Corvette in order to know where to move your post to as we have several sections for Corvettes that vary by generations (years).
