Im thinking about just removing the secondaries, I mean I do not have smog check so I really don't care about them being there.

But I do remember it running out of breath at 4500rpm's and then the ses light and the H61. The secondaries weren't working when I bought the car. And at that time I knew nothing about the car. Let alone how to fix it. But I found an article about secondary port throttle failure on the corvette action center "with pictures. I like pictures" and it really helped me understand how it works and what to check for. It took me a month to close in on the bad component. And just when I was about to throw in the towel thinking I had made a big mistake buying this car. I found it. A $36 part causing the problem. It was the secondary vacum solenoid. Buttoned the plenum back up and for the 15th time took it out for a drive and crossed my fingers and prepared to mash that peddle. Wow! What a difference. The rest is history. And I have never had another secondary failure again. I'm sure I will eventually but now I know what to look for and how to fix it.  |
