While trying to recover a wire clip for one of the throttle body connectors, i had attached a piece of Gorrila tape to the end of a screw driver to retrieve the clip. The tape immedialy blew off into the open end of the intake hole & went down one of the cylinders. I freaked out. The...

code PO1345 was the reason for replacing this solenoid in the first place. I found oil on the wire connector & someone said the internal oil ring was most likely worn & seeped oil into the plug on top. Not true ! The CPAS I removed was in itself fine, & did not need to be replaced. But I...

ok, i do'd it myself......pretty straight forward. My chevy mech buddy suggested leaving the 2:00 clock bolt loose & remove the other two completely which i did. The pwr steering assembly swiveled easily out of the way. The 10mm mounting bolt for the cpas was a little snug, but the...

hey Ed, Well, i only found the 3 bolts behind the pulley & i slapped a 1\2" socket to them....seem to be the right ones. Nope, did not remove the belt, just aligned the pulley holes to get at the bolts. so..............off comes the belt ! Ha. :crazy: duh me ! I'm leery of the whole...

yep, it should but it tight. I have a chilton manual....I'll look into it. Thanks. this a week end project....Lol Well it turning into one anyhow. I'll post my results when its done. I'm don't think this to be anything major. probably a fluke where it is mounted. Maybe never been...

Grrrrrrrrrrrr ! I pulled the 3 bolts as described from the pump/resvoir......it don't budge ! what next ? It wasn't difficult getting to the 3 mounting bolts, but I am afraid to break something in trying to move the assembly aside to pull the CPAS ?? I got the whole week end to get this...

Ok. I was considering not to change the crank sensor for this very reason. Though my scan tool is capable of resetting & clearing most all codes, i really don't want to push it. I find that by leaving the serpentine belt on the pulleys I can manually turn the one large pulley in front of...

Thank you Roadie....this explains it. I'm going to pull the oem module & change it out; probably do the cam & crank sensor at the same time. Sounds like a good idea. This TB running good from day 1 with 148,000 miles on it je.

After reading thru numerous posts on both forums and after my dash threw a SES on my 2002 LTZ I scanned the dac & come up with both the P1345e & P0340 codes. I reset the PCM & then popped the connector off the CPAS to find it filled with oil ! I have no clue why this happened because this...

I will have to cancel my trip down for this event in Pinnelas Park due to my work schedule. Sorry guys. I was looking forward to it :( I will try for the next one ! j evans

Put me down! the DragonWolf LTZ was made for her ! She is a NHRA top fuel rail & funny car super hero hailing from Council Bluffs, Iowa ! Any road trips i make are to honor her ! :thumbsup: Jevans

Ok, I am getting a noticable vibration on my '02 LTZ & have been told by my chevy Vette shop manager, that the engine mounts should be replaced, that unless they are split or broken, i have some time to save up for the repair bill. He seemed to think they are not vital at this time. I did...

it seems obvious to place our id under the Avatar rather than under the owners car ! je:thumbsup:
