Default New, Young C4 Owner

Greetings all, my name is Kyle. I am 20 and just bought my first American muscle car! I purchased a 1994 C4 with 120k for $1500. I know absolutely nothing about this vehicle and am already experiencing cooling system issues (any help would be appreciated), outlined here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-problems.html

I just joined the navy and am on duty in South Carolina for two years in schooling. I bought this car in hopes of learning more practical skills when it comes to cars. I had a Miata and Jeep before, which I raced on the track and mudded, respectively. I am excited to indulge in all of your wisdom.

Take Care.

Kyle - the Intros section really isn’t designed to answer tech questions, but I see you have already made a thread with your issue outlined in the C4 area. The members over there should be able to give you some pointers on repairing your car.

Congrats on your C4, best of luck getting it fixed, and welcome to the forum.

And from one swabbing to another, thanks for your service.
