The tensioner handles that for you. I replaced mine with a manual Katech. I adjust that one by hand, not a fun job but do-able.

Thanks for that tip

I *DO* have a set of manuals for each Vette I own. They don't seem to have a section in either one for "Troubleshooting Supercharger Installation" or "So your wife's uncle is working on your car.." ...

wow

JTE-
Wow, that's some good info. I could never understand why the steering position sensor would be screwed up to install a blower. I think this post just totally helped me out. Thanks!

Hesitation solved

I had the same problem with my 2000 C5 Coupe at about 75K miles. It turned out to be a loose spark plug wire. I replaced all of the plugs and put new wires on for roughly $75-95 and about an hour or...

Got 'er did!!

Yay. Replaced the sparkplugs and found that the no. 8 plug was fouled. It actually had a gas smell to it. The other plugs smelled like oil. My buddy says it most likely from the wire being loose...

Active handling not really warming up

I don't think it's "really" warming up. Rather, the steering wheel position sensor sends a "0" to the computer to indicate that the wheels and the steering wheel are pointing straight. When you turn...

loss of power

I had the same problem with my 2000 Coupe. Driver door harness was bad. It would light up the dash and reduce engine power. Also the windows wouldn't work. The harness is an expensive part. I...

Check your sway bar. Mine got loose after replacing the exhaust and it would make that kind of thunk over bumps.

I only have one key to the Vette at the house. If I leave-- it goes with me. That's been my policy ever since my wife helped me find my sunglasses under the driver seat. The next morning after she...

Definately

Definately sounds like he wasn't using 2 wrenches. Also, those bolts like to break. New ones cost about $3 at the parts store. How much life insurance did you buy for your wife? Just kidding.....

Temp with blower

My '99 C5 gets to 200-210 avg, but in rush hour traffic I have seen 225-235 degrees. A little too hot for me. I end up either turning the heater on (not a cool thing to do when it's 90 out) or...

I wouldn't call them reputable. I paid $1100 for my extended warranty. When it came time to put in a claim, they made it a pain in the you know what and then denied it. Local Chevy dealers don't...
