Hi my name is Jared. I just traded my boat for a 1986 Corvette. I'm pretty excited to own a Corvette. Already I am noticing that the guy before me didn't give this car any love at all. I have a lot of work to do but am excited about the challenge. I have an issue that I'm trying to resolve as soon as possible in order to get it smogged and the title transferred. When I start her she runs pretty smooth but then after a bit she surges like she want to go. Doesn't matter if she is in gear or in neutral. I also noticed that the guy put a switch to turn the fan on obviously because a sensor went bad. I am going to get started on tracking down a few issues this weekend. Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks


Jared
