That old guy tip can also use carb cleaner, or propane with a hose on the bottle.

Hi Dave, just received Corvette Enthusiast. Chris Petris has a article on Cross-Fire injection that might help. He also has a web site, www.corvetteclinicinc.com. Hope this helps! Dick

I just got back from North Conway, NH. Great trip and the car ran OK. Still has the idle problem, but not as bad as last weekend.

I put a bottle of injector cleaner in with the first fill-up. I don't think it did anything.

I can rule out bad gas because I have filled it three times this weekend and the problem is still there.

I still think it might be the fron injector because I saw it sputtering.

DaveM is going to send me information on replacing the seals and gaskets and he already gave me a complete set, so that will be next.

Thanks for all the advise.

Dave, bring the gaskets on the next trip though Cuyahoga Falls. Let me know so we can schedule around my jobs. It will be a happy camper when you leave.

Ken,

Thanks for the offer, but that might not be until October.

Good article in the current issue of Corvette Enthusiast Magazine regarding the Crossfire. Tells you where to look for common problems and how to fix them.

Can't find Corvette Enthusiast magazine at any of my local bookstores. I'd love to have a copy of the crossfire troubleshooting article that VetteCountry is speaking of. If anyone could xerox, I'd certainly be glad to cover any expenses.
