Don't be silly. That is a job for a Corvette specialist. Or, Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers. As Click and Clack would say "No matter what it is, it's going to cost you $200 if that's what it is"...

After reading some of your other threads, have you considered selling your Vette and moving on to the Civic forum. Sure you will fit in.
