Amazingly enough the beast is alive again!! I found the problem by shear accident. Was working on it in the evening and the lights went out while the car was running. Low and behold I was able to see a fireworks show coming from behind the engine. Wouldn't you know it was a bad plug wire. Fixed and ...

Well dove into the car and found a couple of things. The vacuum is holding steady at about 17 inches. But I did find that one of my coil packs had a crack in it and it looks like there is some rust in there. So hopefully that is the problem. Well here we go into round 4.

Thanks for the more info, I will definately not give up on this beast. Got to much time and money into it as it is. Will be wrenching on it this weekend will let you know what I find.

Thanks again

No codes, O2 sensor has not been changed. Would this actually cause the engine to go haywire this bad? I mean I literally went through a 1/4 tank of gas in a twenty mile stretch. The engine also does this wether it is warm or up to temperature. I have had this car for a total of about 6 months. I ha...

I have a 94 Z26 with a 3.1. Yesterday on my way to work the engine just chugged and would cause the whole car to shudder. i couldn't get abouve about 50 mph without the whole car feeling like it was shaking apart.  It is ideliing rough and it looks like my oil has been filled with gas. Any help woul...

Thanks for the info thats what I thought I would have to do. I was just making sure before I stripped something out. Amazingly enough I still love this car, I bought it for 800 and now have almost 1500 in it. If thats not a sign of a car nut I don,t know what is.

Thanks alot!!!

I have to replace the struts on my 94 Z26. I got the nuts off of the two lower bolts that connect the strut to the axle. My question is are these bolts threaded all the way through or should the just popout Because the donot seem to want to budge. Is there also aspecial socket to fit the head of the...

Thanks for the response. Well first off the steering wheel was real loose and every time you took a turn it sounded like the frontend was going to come apart. Well the guy I bought it off of said he had just redid the entire front end and it probably needs to wear in. Never heard of that. Well I dec...

Excellent Idea! I will definately put That to use. If you are ever in ohio I'll supply the beer and steaks!

Thanks for the info, Both door sills have holes in them which I am going to put new sheetmetal in and seal up. The outer body is in fantastic shape other than a couple of surface rust spots. We definately want to get this car looking good as there seems to be so few left around here. Thanks again fo...

My 92 Z26 frame is rusted through below the doors. Should i just clean them up and paint them. Only the bottom is rusted through and the floor pans are in good shape. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Looking for some info, Is there any way to tell wether the rack and pinion or the tierods are bad? Not sure which or both are bad.
Thanks alot

Thanks for the help. The whole suspension is shot in this beast. The bushings are the only thing I had a question about. I love cars that haven't been maintained in 155,000.

Thanks again

I need to replace the control arm bushings on my 94 Z26. My Chilton's says that I have to have them done by a dealer. Is this true? If at all possible I would rather do it myself.
Thanks Everyone for your time!

Hello, I just purchased a 94 Z26. This car was poorly taken care off. Most of the stuff I got a handle on. I noticed yesteday when i had the car up on stands that the frame rails that run underneath the doors are rotted out. The floor pans and everything else is in good shape. Any suggestions on how...
