Bad Wiper Spray Pattern

Not critical, but when I hit the spray for the wipers, the sprayers don't have the nice spray pattern I'm expecting. Fluid comes out, but the wipers are basically running on the dry windshield. ...

I found a used one form $20. It looks to be a pretty important boot, since it looks like it helps guide the rod that gets pushed from the slave.

Great - I'll check the TPS. I had that set prior to going into Chevy to get some things looked at and they replaced the ECM for me. They also cleaned the TB, so maybe they didn't check the TPS...

Getting Code 43 - Knock Sensor

What the heck is this thing really doing? Sensing for "knocking" and sending a signal to the ECM to retard the timing, right? There's a procedure in the ECM to test the knock sensor at "strt-up"...

I'll be racing around and in a small g turn and hit some bumps and the lap belt locks up and won't unlock unless I unlatch and retract the whole shoulder/lap set up.

Is this normal? :crazy:

Re: 4+3 OD Button non functioning any more (Curveit)

Shoot - that's an easy one. It's on the firewall, next to the master cylinder vacuum booster. There's 2 relays there, one behind the other. The first one you can get to is the OD relay and the one...

Re: 4+3 OD Button non functioning any more (BlkMagik)

This is probably an easy one, if it's like the problem I had with my OD button on my '86. And if not like mine, the guys have another fix I'll mention.

My OD button would work depending on where...

Re: Cooling / Radiator Fan Comes on at Start up? (86VetteBill)

Re: Cooling / Radiator Fan Comes on at Start up? (SunCr)

Re: Canister Purge Vacuum Valve? (SunCr)

Oh - I didn't think of the canister being saturated. What should I so - just pour out the accumulated liquid? Let it air dry? Is it easy to open?

Re: Code 36 at 70 MPH (JScott 88 C4)

I had an issue with this too. I swapped the 2 relays with each other and got a different code. I replace the bad one. Seems these are interchangeable on my '86.

Re: Cooling / Radiator Fan Comes on at Start up? (86VetteBill)

I'm approaching this problem from 2 fronts: Is the OD relay forcing the fan on or is the fan forcing the OD off.

I've cleaned up the wiring to the OD relay. Boy - those wires really get pulled...

Re: Cooling / Radiator Fan Comes on at Start up? (SunCr)

Well, the fan control switch wasn't the problem. Glad I didn't have to replace that!! So, I'll get into the 4+3 OD wiring and switches to see, like you say, if they share a ground. Thanks for the...
