HI. Can't seem to relocate nice thread on C5 seat swap with HPDE or higher performance seats. Can someone provide? The link had personal experience input including seat type, drive size, etc.

Are you sure?

Are you sure you want to sell? I'd agree with Oldtimer, 13-14 seems about right. Saw a '98 with 45K go for 16,500 recently, It was real clean, newish tires, no damage history, good paint. The manual...

Thx feedback on TBs...more?

Thanks for the input. As the car only has 24K, so I am thinking likely not the IACs (idle air controls). As the are $80.00 each, I am hoping to diagnose before changing parts. I guess I need...

'84 gas smell, but no line leaks...

Gas smell when you enter garage after car has sat there overnite.

I guess I need to test injectors, re-build throttle boidies & replace gas cap to be sure I elliminate it? Anything else?

Ignition module

My '84 had a random stalling issue.
Change the ignition module (under the distributor cap, of course). Costs about 20 bucks. Takes about 10 minutes. Mine seems cured.
Good luck!

Check nadaguides.com for pricing. Try to keep it!
