Default Hello

Hi my name is Mark and I'm from Michigan. I don't own a vette myself but my dad does so I'm here on his behalf because he don't even own a computer. He owns a 85 (I think) vette and has been working on it for about 2 years now. I'm hoping to find answers to any questions he might have, but since we live 2.5 hours apart from each other we don't talk about it much. Here's the only pic I have of his vette in the garage. That's my old 87 Firebird with a 2.8l.

So anyway Hi, and hope I can find answers to his problems. 1 problem he is currently having is that it wont' cold idle at all. He's already replaced the temp sensor that's in the block itself as well as a few other one's. I don't have much info on what has all been done. Next time I talk to him I'll try to get a list.

Thanks, I didn't even pay attention if the image worked or not. Didn't know I had to use photobucket, I was just hotlinking it off my fquick account. www.fquick.com/SouLTeRRoR if anyone is interested in pics of my old cars.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm going down to his place this weekend, so I'll try to nab some pics of his vette.
