02 ZO6 16,000 miles. Every once in a while (like maybe once every 2 months) it fails to start. Everything works, acts like the neutral switch is not working. I replaced the battery after the first time it did it and it has happened about 3 or 4 times since. I changed keys, thought the chip could be the problem but it has happened again. It has always started after a bunch of tries and has not let me down yet but sooner or later I'll be calling for a tow truck. If I take it to the dealer he will have it for a while and give it back with a big bill and "couldn't find nothing wrong". Anybody got any ideas? Thanks Joe

Replying to: jsouth (Feb 17, 2008 11:03 am) 3 times a few years back and got down to published 13.3's in a C5 coupe on the third day with a 6sp manual. With Auto just do a couple practice runs and roll on the throttle until you get some slip and figure out what the tires will take. Since my 350hp will break loose the rear, your 400hp will do the same, easily. The best I've seen in autos, just hold brake, put in some throttle, far less than full and release brake and roll toward floor as you gain speed. Biggest issue is timing the light, and I had to release clutch on last of 3 yellows to get close, you will get to point where you just have to follow a script and then only change one factor to see if you get improvement. As to beating Stangs, remember $ are speed, and most drag guys have modded, some heavily but they are still heavier than you. Then it is all about grip. Good luck, Randy |

Replying to: vettever (Feb 24, 2008 5:04 am) Got in the car, turned the key, and nothing. Radio was on, fan blowing etc. Yup, a few choice words, tried again and it started. Happened a couple more times until I realized I had not pushed the clutch all the way down....DOH!!! Don't want to oversimplify but it may be something you want to try. Like you, I dreaded the thought of taking it into the dealer, leaving it for a few days and then getting the proverbial "cannot duplicate the condition". Once I realized my bonehead tactics, it never failed. |

I have been having an issue with inspection for my 94 with 105000 miles. I have an intermittent check engin light and if it on when the emissions is being done it fails. I have had issues fixed in past years that had showed up on the computer, but now nothing shows up. The mechanics think its a data link issue and to contact a dealer, or to try to get it inspected when the check engin light is off. I am told there are 3 computers involved and it could be a wiring harnass issue I have been trying to check consumer sites to see if there were old recalls. Any input will be helpful. thanks
