82 owners,step inside ,got some questions.
This is kinda ot but I own an 82 Z28 Pace car and I am having some problems that you might relate to.I have a fuel pump that seems to freeze up if I let the car sit for more than a month or so.It majically starts working after a week of trying to start it :confused: .Next ,It has the flipper flap direct induction on the hood .It doesnt work and I have been told that a switch controlls this .I think that the same switch is found on the 82 vette hood.What does it look like ,do they still make it and when does it open? :seeya

I don't think that the 82 vette had a door for the hood. it is just a cold air intake.
I will look tomarrow to be sure...
As for the fuel pump, just replace it, and end your headache :cheers:

All 1982 Corvettes have a forced-air door. If you look at the underside of your hood, there is a seal. It seals around the open area of the air cleaner. The door (flap) opens on full throttle by a solenoid. There's an accuator bar connected to it. It ONLY opens on FULL throttle.
Hope this helps.

Don't know if this will help but I had an '85 Camaro that ate a fuel pump while the car was still under warranty. The mechanic said that there was a problem with the original design so GM went with a two rotor pump. Your car may have the original pump.
