Default Re: 1990 exhaust manifold issue...

well, I just missed it as I was flying back from Wyoming on Saturday.

Now you know the dead O2 wasted the catalyst. People shouldn't ignore check engine lights, but they do. Had you ever owned a c4 before this car? Just curious as I had a '95, but the very first Corvette I ever drove was a 91 ZR-1.

Yeah, the guy I bought my Z from, bought it new from the showroom floor. He isn't much of a mechanic, I had to undo a lot of f'd up stuff he did. I don't know how the cat in the original passenger side manifold lost the catalyst, I just know it is completely empty. My Z is running great now though, so that is all water under the bridge.

And no, this isn't my first C4, I used to have a '93 LT1 6-speed. Guess you didn't read my sig?

Just got back a couple of hours ago from the 3rd day of the 3-day in a row Corvette run I mentioned. Had a blast, took tons of pics and got to know some great Corvette people.
