I have a 2001 C5.It is all original with 34,000 km.This car runs amazing with no issues at all.Driving this car is like being in another world and it has become my therapy session.Corvette Therapy!😎
My right ear enjoyed this video
Facts
i got it through my left ear
Glad it was nothing serious. I have the same situation. I took the Accel wires off my 2000 Z28 and put them on an 04 C5 I recently purchased. Both Ls1 so the wires swap over. It had the wires you just bought but they were old. I didnt do the plugs because there are two on the Camaro that are very hard to get to. Theyre so easy on the C5 I dont mind doing it twice.The plugs are a must also. I might try to do them this weekend. Dont forget to do yours, even though its running good now. Good vid, thanks.
Just from your dash oil pressure sensor may not be working. It sat at 80 psi the whole time. Not necessarily bad oil ressure C5 are known for the sensor going bad quickly!!
On both my C5 and a new Mopar (Jeep) I had EVAP code both times solved by just putting a little vaseline on the gas cap gasket. On the Jeep I even tried a cheap parts store version which re-triggered the code. Put the original on with the Vaseline, reset, added 1/4 tank to bring pressure back and light has gone out and stayed out.
With now 6 cars in my garage, I've made an annual ritual of the vaseline on the caps with no side effect issues ... barring a buddy or two making a bad joke about having vaseline in the garage. ;)
How to Pull Codes:
1. Turn your key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.
2. Clear any present messages by pressing the RESET button.
3. Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. (This will get you into the "codes" section of the DIC.
4. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. (Have a pen and paper handy to write down the codes)
Note: Any code that ends in an "H" is a historic code (something that has occurred in the past, but is not reporting as an error currently.)
H = history (may be a solved or intermittent malfunction)
C = current active codes
5. Once the computer has finished going through all of its codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# Codes."
6. To optionally reset codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until is displays "NO CODES."
7. Press OPTIONS to go into the next module (ie, from PCM, or Powertrain Control Module, to TCS, or Traction Control System.)
8. Repeat Step 6 until you have reset all the codes in all the computer modules.
Note: Only reset the codes if you want to, it is not necessary to reset them every time you pull the codes.
9. To exit the diagnostics mode at any time push "E/M" button, or simply take your key out of the ignition.
Note: Manual mode can be entered at any time during the automatic sequence by pressing any button except "E/M"
Once the DIC displays "manual diagnostics", you may select a particular module by pressing "options" button to go forward or "trip" button to go backwards
Once a module is displayed and has codes for review, you may view the codes individually by pressing "gauges" button to go forward and "fuel" button to go backwards (to review at your own pace and write down)
Hope that helps. Easy to check anywhere on the road without having to plug in a module.
Glad the Vette is pulling strong again 👍
Yup, have to do this once a month, super easy on the fly
love seeing your DIY attitude
Appreciate it!
Arggg... I was yelling, "Change the plugs too" Good video ty!
Glad to see it back!
Me too! Thanks for watching 🤙
Me too! Thanks for watching 🤙
Why not change the plugs while you are at it? Front O2 sensors?
I got a tune on my 2001 C5 that eliminated the 1-4 shift lockout, and cuts fans on at lower temperature.
Great to see it running strong again! Thumbs up from me as usual... Happy 4th. and Stay Safe Brother... Rico
Now...if you would do a review on that '84 Vette
Glad to see you're back with another C5 Corvette video. Love this car!
Got an ‘01 Vette with 36k miles on it and a TJ wrangler. Hoping to start a channel soon. Love the enthusiasm in every video
A flashing SES light while driving is one of the most scariest things you can encounter.
I guess I've officially crossed into "Old Fart" status; nearing 50! Growing up, I was changing wires in my cars at least once every couple of years. Yeah, there was ALWAYS an appreciable difference in the horsepower and idle smoothness. I also had the fun of the 400 CID (in my Chrysler) and 500 CID (in my Caddy) where I had to match up the eight different length spark plug wires. I once spent the day tuning up my Chrysler with the 400 and went for a ride with really high hopes. Rode like a dog. Dashed, I trudged on, determined to upgrade my carb or do headers or something. I ran out of gas far from my "usual" crap Delta station and had to get Sunoco. WOW! It was like I had a WHOLE new engine under the hood. Bottom line...plugs, wires, filters and lubricants are all important...and always get the best (you can afford...LOL) but don't forget to NOT skimp out on gas. My 2004 C5 and my Benz ONLY use Premium...and ONLY high marque gas brands.
Too young for old fart status- I am almost 69, half again your age. Still, am retired with my good health, money in the bank, four motorcycles and I know where I am going once this body gives up.
@@markmath2883 Amen brother!!
Gasoline brand make a huge difference in performance. I use strictly 'Shell premium gasoline' and it makes a vast difference in my corvette. I was stuck out of town at a car show and had to use an off brand the difference is quite noticeable. So, in conclusion I do agree, however, some people do not, and contend it's all the same gas, it's not.
@@dukeman7595 Absolute right.
Here in Germany i fill only Aral 102 into my Cars. But Shell V Power 100 is nearly the same.
I have had those "check engine" problems. When i saw your light going off, i felt so relieved. Like it was my own 😅
I had a very similar issue with my Grand Am GT. It was missing bad and it too had the flashing check engine light. Changed out the plugs, the wires and bingo. Problem solved.
Had the same exact symptoms/ basic remedy with my '06 Mustang GT. Replaced Spark Plugs, Coil Packs, Fuel Injector and Coil Pack Connectors and was good to go..
👍😎👍
I have a 2001 mustang gt and mine did the same thing. A coil pack went bad. Only replaced one and probobly should do the other 7. I was told the others will eventually go as well. It was do the flashing check engine light followed by the robbing of power as well. At least next time I will know what to replace.
Glad to see you back looks like you have 243 heads all you need is Z06 cam and your just about have an LS6
Good job man! Easy fix. I put oem iridium plugs (ac Delco 41-110) but went with msd wires. Runs so much better.
I have a C5 2000 Corvette only has 38,000 miles on it do you think I will have that same problem because it feels like a Miss to it when I get into it but it's not flashing no lights or nothing
Hub, so I’m looking for my first Vette. Just got out of my fourth Stang. Just got into a new home, so decided to not do a new Stang, seeing that I’d be looking at a minimum of about 37 grand. A C5 is still a contender, and still looks and sounds like sex. I’ll find one a bit lower mileage than yours, budget is around 20 grand, maybe a bit more. Manual preferably, love the Z06 but want an open top such as your targa or a vert. Prices seem to be great out there, and a nice top end package and exhaust will round it out. Subscribed to check out how you brought yours up with modern amenities such as the LED’s, routine maintenance, etc.
🇺🇸👍🦅💪
I had that issue with my Corvette C6 Z51. It was fun when it worked but it had too many issues. You may need spark plug cable sleeves.
Always try the easy fix first is the best advice you ca give yourself. Nice scan tool btw.
Just found you. Tip: you should always replace the spark plugs when you replace the spark plug wires.
The evap is probably the rear EGR check valve tripping the code. You have to remove the intake manifold to get to it. Sometimes a cleaning of the check valve clears code but why not just replace since the maintenance level is high.
I had the same thing happen with the flashing CEL of the same non specific misfire on my old 1996 TA, changed the air filter and spark plugs and it fixed it. It is a very easy job as long as it isn't a fuel problem.
Good job. Not trying to scrutinize. I would've thrown in some fresh plugs also. Other wise I'm glad it fixed your car man.
142k onmy c6 so Id recommend from experience 50 to 60 k miles change stock oem spark plugs...the smart play.even though they say 100k. Loved my two c5 s. Prettier corvette. Great value. Thank you for the video
i got a code one time to be aware of and it had something to do with the mass airflow.I just about spent the money on a brand new mass air flow sensor and i thought to replace the airfilter and bam no more code.Check engine light went off.That air filter was not really that old but it seems it does not take much to restrict the air enough to cause the check engine light to come on.
I have wanted a C5 for awhile now. I've found some for under 10k dollars but are all automatic transmissions. I almost got one just because it had 67000 miles on it for 9k but it was white with a black top and i really want the hatch with the fastback window and a manual transmission.
Beware the needle bearings that the valve rockers ride. They tend to shatter from aggressive revs over time. The pieces end up floating around and into an oil circ screen. It'll catch them and prevent serious damage to the motor if they weren't. LS1 & early LS2 motors have them
Should have put some di-electric grease in the boots of the wires. It'll be a bit easier next time you have to remove the wires. Nice, easy fix!
Good time to change spark plugs also.
Sounds Great! Being paranoid I would have changed plugs too. I had a 2003 50th Anniversary Edition. Does your C-5 have skeleton pedals. They drove me crazy especially the clutch when it rained. If the bottom of my shoe was wet and would slip off the clutch. This was dangerous in traffic. I could never find a fix.
Or just use the on board diagnostic. Reset the light and see if it comes back or anything is stored.
I was wondering, a while back when you first got the C5 you said that the reverse lights weren't working. I spoke to you back then. Maybe I missed a video weather you were able to get them working? I still haven't figured it out. Thanks , Jim
Why would you now replace the spark plugs as well?
*changes spark plug wires once*
MO POWA BABEH!!
😂😂😂
I watched a couple of your Jeep videos to then find out you have a vette as well. That’s awesome, I have a Jeep & vette as well
Ditto, 2001 corvette and 2003 rubicon
Well, I'm wondering why you plugged in a OBD module when it's built right into the DIC on the C5. You can see every code in your system on the dash. You can use a phone to look up the meaning of the code but you can also clear many of them via the DIC. This will clear many CELs without too much trouble.
Could be a coil. Be very gentle when pulling wires...they break inside easy imo
Just bought an 02 Silver. I went Auto, more traffic here. Bro, clean those leaves out of your vent! Enjoy
Think of the money you saved on not buying the plugs. Good video👍🏼
Had a p0300 on mine with a horrible knocking sound and a flashing check engine light. Ended up being a dead cylinder due to a hole in the piston. Replaced the engine myself and now it is back in action
I want your opinion man this is gonna be my 1st Corvette and I'm looking in 98 C5 convertible in pretty good shape we 90.000 miles on it for 8600 $ old man is the owner So on Guessing is the 1st owner. Looks pretty clean in the pictures.
Awesome stuff man!! Glad it was a simple fix!!
Crispy yeah buddie!
Way to go bro.
Glad is back on the road.... what kind of stereo do you have on the vehicle ?
Why not do the plugs too?
Did u change the spark plugs too?
Missed the C5
At the 8:01 point in the video, we see your suction mount for the Nikon camera... could you tell me the make/model and perhaps where you bought it? I'm currently looking for something like this too. Thanks!
Had same thing happen to my 03 c5, changed the plugs and wires also cleaned the mass air flow sensor. Back to running like a bear!!!😛😛
good video. never had the plug problem. changed plugs and wires at 100,000 like the book says. i fixed the evap problem by getting a gas cap from amazon for $14.00.
I go to the junk yard and pull old plugs and wires from various different automobiles and put them on my cars. If one wire is short, I just splice two different wires together, save a a bunch of money this way..
Glad you got it going again!! Yeah, those heat shields are a bitch to get off the plug tip!! I found it was easier taking off the coil pack brackets, but I changed my plugs & wires at the same time.
I can't stand the interior of the C5. Other than that and old corvettes being a total PIA I love them. I like the C5 body style better than the C6.
Cool video man
Is your oil pressure really 80psi at idle?
Also your vette has a built in code reader in the dic
Glad to see the oil pressure pushing a light 80psi at idle 7:28
Hey to save yourself so issues in the future add some dielectric grease on the plug end of the wires to keep the wires from bonding to the plugs. All so helps keep moister form causing a problem should you get caught out in the rain with your Vette.
I have a 2000 C5 convertible that had 43000 miles when I bought it. It started to run rough shortly after buying it-was the plugs. Except for the clutch, I have had no problems with the car. Though I replaced the clutch, the pedal occasionally engages within a couple of inches of the floor and doesn’t want to spring back...have to put my foot behind it.
Changing my clutch fluid solved my lazy clutch problem. It’s very easy. Suck it out with a turkey baster & refill with new.
@@Mr_Make_It_Worse Thanks
Plugs and must be oem wires with double click putting on wires..that double click is important... Must be oem stock wires
What about the C6? Which is more fun...the C5 or the C6? I am shopping...please advise.
YESS!!
😁😁😁🤙🤙🤙
Great videos and nice fix, most of the time things don't go this well for me on my C5. Anyway what is your radio? I still have a cassette deck and looking to update.
sorry, just saw the other video---great stuff
Your content is crazyyyy! Editing off the chain! I’m ova here taken notes like 👀 📝💯
Great information - thanks!
Just bought a C5 Z06 last week (love it already) what is that front splitter your have on yours? I really like it.
Jason Smith czcams.com/video/BuWME42Qt00/video.html
Should have changed plugs at the same time since you were doing it. I used the exact same wires, they are great! Check out cultrag performance. They deal in all gm parts at great prices. Ask for gene culley, he is the corvette guy.
Looking at your gauges your oil pressure sender has failed (needle pushed all to the right) edit- I like your front side markers. Is that an LED strip on the bottom?
John Roberts I noticed the pegged oil pressure reading too in the Overheat video.
Awesome, enjoyed it!
My vetts down due t ok the targa separating from the frame.
Check out Car Wizard $2000 rear main seal and clutch replacement.
Beautiful car 👍🏼
Nice that it was only wires, my luck would be a head gasket, coil pack or something stupid
You should have changed the spark plugs too.
Very nice!!!
Thanks for watching Andrew! 🤘
you didn't have to tune your car? or did this issue happen after tuning? I'd assume your issue is a lack of tune if you hadn't done so already but i haven't finished the video yet
awesome so the wires worked but still no tune needed at all of any type? I ask becoz it's summer and i was thinking of putting some long tube headers on mine catless and i can't decide if i should tune it or not and if so then what type of tune.
Nice video. Question, is that your DNA on the door handle? Busted knuckles and a job well done minus not doing the plugs. Doh! More busted knuckles to come. 😂
The same thing happened to me, only it stayed on and then the car lost power 😢
I had a 2000 vette milly yellow same thing
The plugs can loose tips over 50k miles so think about 5ok..(250k in ks Corvettes experience)
Nothing more satisfying than having your car come back from the brink of perceived catastrophe!
Enjoyed your video. What is the horrible music in the background?
06:41 the blood is already on the door, "time to warm it up"
ACdelco always always for C5....
hey i just broke you into the 1k likes,..lol cheers
Sounds like the corvette finds it too cold in the D
Those wires are $147 on Amazon.
Why change plugs if you don't need them? Also, you should have found the bad wire before changing all 8. An ohm meter would tell you. Try to understand the mechanics behind what you are doing, don't just throw parts at the car and think you're a mechanic.
How about that battery leaking on the ecm . Great design! Biggest piece of shit I ever bought.
Hey man I managed to fix your audio so the hissing is gone and made it stereo. Hit me up if you want to see it
The red c4 looks better
I was kicked in the butt by buying a 2000 Corvette (35 K mi) while the transmission fluid seepage from the rear diff had metal shavings in it. I got my $17 K back, and the dealer flat bed his 2000 Corvette back 100 miles to Illinois. So, I still want a Corvette, and am looking at a 2003 50th Anniversary edition.(49 K mi) Ready to pull the trigger so I have it inspected. ($107.49) Fluid seepage from Trans pan, fluid coming from rear diff (different car) same problem, oil seepage from timing cover, and all 4 shocks leaking Hydraulic fluid. Dealer says - no PROBLEM! and will NOT fix anything. I RAN, and kept running away from a "Corvette". I am SO, SO HAPPY with my new 2007 SATURN SKY convertible with 4000 miles.... C-YA!
Corvettes already have a computer. You should look up how to erase codes.
Try some mechanics gloves
