    1990 C1500 ABS (RWAL) removal.

    this does have an effect but is not the same as removing that box full of mush in the actual line

    Won't start and only 1 click at the starter ?

    Ran into this once wrenching at an older fellas trans shop. His personal truck had been parked close a year. Asuming blown locked engine. I put it on the lift and just for s&g's i cut the serpentine belt off and the bugger fired right up. It was a locked a/c compressor.

    ABS activating when not needed

    Take some starting fluid (ether). You remove the air filter and spray some in if it starts your not be fuel. You said it's a new fuel pump listen to hear it run. If not check the fuses and the ground for the pump if it starts on ether is also check the icm (ignition control module) it controls...

    Help! Front brakes not releasing fully.

    Had a 3rd gen Camaro do this. Ended up being the metal collar on the rubber line had rusted between the collar and rubber line and you could pump the brakes up but they wouldn't release. I cut the collar off and the problem went away.

    Remove the black plastic box and the aluminum block with the lines that's bolted to the bracket what your left with is an empty hole in the bottom of the valve on the master cylinder and the single rear brake line sticking up from the bottom. :-) screw them together and bleed the rear brakes...

    Sporadic starting issue

    I'm betting on cap,rotor,ignition control module related and when you were in there working on the air cleaner you bumped it. I would start with checking all the plug in connectors on the cap and the coil especially the two connectors on the bottom of the distributor just under the cap at the...

    Cooling system mess...help me out

    Also an excellent way to test a pcv valve. It can be done with a sheet of writing paper over the oil fill hole with the cap off. If it flutters up and down the pcv is bad or you got serious blowby it should just ever so lightly suction to the oil fill hole. I once ran a volvo 850 for many many...

    IAC delete

    The other day I deleted my IAC idle air controler. I did the factory reset to it by jumping the AdL plug under the dash. Let it come fully closed and then unhooked it. I then turned my idle up till it runs. It took care of the off idle stumble I had before. It only makes sense that you want all...

    The fuel pump ground is a single black wire coming out the top of the gas tank and corrodes off its connection to the frame quite often. ;-)

    Smog delete

    My 92 work truck doesn't have smog or AC from the factory. You could try finding an ECU from a W/T model.

    Old school carb trick to get you home in emergency

    I've got a 92 C1500 v6 5speed. But that's not the subject here. I was helping a retired friend today. We were working on an old carbed truck. His close 75 yrs old. Anyway we got it running enough to say it was running. But it was clear the carbon was dirty. Truck has been setting close 3 yrs. So...

    My 92 C1500 W/T didn't need any additional fittings just removed the little S shaped piece of line and the rear abs valve and connect the single rear line direct to the bottom of the proportioning valve. I spent a good 5-8 minutes trying to get it started. Its a blind spot you just gotta keep...
