Update: The truck has started every time I've used it, since the long beep which originally got it going again. The PATS light now flashes 5 times after turn off. This has never happened since I owned the truck. So, this is a computer issue obviously. So if you are experiencing this problem, try starting the truck up to 15 times or until you hear that audible, and crank it as soon as you hear it, and maybe you'll get lucky as I did.

Did u do your plugs? Mine is an 84 and I had this issue. changed the plugs and is now all good

I like the red air intake cover. What kind of paint did you use?

Thanks brother

According to my list 42 is Ignition bypass circuit error. Ignition Control Module is 41 and truthfully in all my GM years those things either work or your car will die/not start. What you did here could have solved the problem but since it did not, it is either a connection between the ecm and the distributor or the ecm itself, God forbid. I'd disconnect and clean every distributor and ecm connector, reconnect the battery and go for it. Hope it helps. Also you do truly need at least a cap and rotor. They were worn.

I always thought this was a cool feature

I like it!!

Thats the one I'm looking for! the ones they have out now are cheap materials. I bought one a few years ago and it broke in half....

I was driving 50-70 then hit city traffic on the way home. Stopped and parked to get food and then when I turned her back on the ac blew hot air and temps went all the way up. I didn’t see any coolant leaks. Nothing from the engine… ac wasn’t working. Temp skyrocketed to 265. I let my 84 vette sit and this morning I saw oil level was super low and coolant reservoir was a little. Light like shake like for the oil and same for the coolant in the radiator. I put new fluids in and she ran ok until I idled at a light or parked and then she blazed back up past 240 and ac wasn’t working. Idk what is going on it all happened at random yesterday and today. I know oil needs to be changed and a coolant flush is needed

The 2 bolts come out easily if you turn the motor- cam gear to the correct spot.

Update on this unit. Had an extended power outage, and this generator worked flawlessly. Kept all important things powered up, no issues at all.

I have an ‘84 Caprice, looks like I’ll need to do this-thank you for the video!

Just bougt one it now comes with a double charger perf

Can i ask you something? The small L connector that you removed and then later attached the smaller hose to, is that replaceable? I've bought an Aveo recently, but I noticed that the small L connector is missing on my air intake hose. And if so, what would it's name be? I cannot find it selling anywhere.

Hi, I’ve tried to remove mine today it wouldn’t budge with an open end wrench even used pb blaster still stuck. Did you need to heat yours for removal. Any help would be appreciated.thanks.

you woul've saved so much time and frustration if you took the engine mount off first...

How did you get the connector off

Yes I have a 1984 Corvette and I'm trying to find if it have a modulator on the side of the transmission what it's doing is not shifting through first gear and a going first give but it won't shift out could that be my problem

hey watching from nova Scotia Canada good job.

i am watching nova Scotia Canada great video helped me with my 2007chevy Ave thanks

I'm not getting oil to the bar and chain for some reason. I've tried taking it apart and cleaning everything I could clean but still no oil. It did pump the oil because I had to refill it with STP chain and bar oil. Anyone got any ideas? Good review btw. I was quite happy with mine too until this happened.

your the best bro

Thank you for the assist 👏

Red intake looks good.

JUST GUESSING AFTER ALL YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH WITH TRYING TO FIX AND CLEAR THIS CODE 42 MAYBE ITS THE ECM IT SELF THATS FAULTY....... IF I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL YOU HAVE ALREADY I WOULD TRY PLUGGING IN ANOTHER ECM...JUST TI SEE IF THATS THE PROBLEM . JUST GUESSING AND TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT GETTING IT SORTED OUT HOPE IT HELPS

I turned my 84 into a hot rod all chrome motor with 650 carburetor with nearly 400hp

Thanks for this

Hi there I was wondering I got a new distributor for my 1984 corvette and I cannot find where the tach plugs into. I have the wire and can plug it into the distributor, but I don't know where to put it in the harness I took my car apart months ago and forgot where it goes. the wire I have has a brown head on it goes down into a solenoid. with a single brown wire coming out of that. I remember it was ground to the intake manifold from the solenoid. but can't find the direct plug into the harness of the car.

Ever figure out your code 42? Mine just popped 42 this weekend

I will be watching!

Nice video. Did you say you had a misfire code as well? P0300?

There will be no performance increase. Been there, done that. Ram air's only benefit is to supply cooler air, but the original system already pulled cold air into the intake, and you'd have to be going several hundred MPH to have any appreciable pressure increase.

Best wishes, brother! I had an '84 from around 1999-2012. As I later found out, it's the worst year for a Corvette in it's entire manufacturing history. At least it was a Z51 model, so it handled like it was on rails, but could feel every grain of sand I ran over. I had eventually put a X-ram on it (doubt you can still get them) and hacked enough of the ECM to know where the fuel tables and some of the digital dash coefficients were located. Probably still some old articles I wrote or contributed on the Crossfire Injection Forum, ran by IIRC, a man named Ken. I hope it's still out there. Do yourself a favor... unless it has some sentimental value, sell that thing and get a non crossfire injection model - or at least a C4 with an LT1 in it.

Sorry you had trouble with that part. Thanks for the info!

I think I would put pneumatic wheels on that generator.

Chopping wood-warms you twice!

got a vid taking it off?

Open the top, lay the box onto its side...slide out the unit onto some carpet/cardboard, etc.

Good luck with all repairs, hope you clear that annoying 42!! Are you changing the whole distributor unit or just cap, rotor and ignition coil? I was scared to tackle the whole distributor, as i didn’t want to mess with timing. But changing cap, rotor, ignition coil, plug wires and plugs really awoke the car up. With regards to AC removal (if I understood correctly) you wouldn’t necessarily need the new pulley, you can just remove the whole thing all together and re-rout the belt like i did.

Nice shed! Good luck with the heater control valve - originals (as you know) are pretty much unobtainable. I modified mine with similar parts - and it seems to be ok now.

Frustrating! Good luck tracking it down.

How can I tell the difference on the intake and exhaust camshaft

Thanks for the video, everyone else uploaded the fuel injected version.

UPDATE: I have been using this unit to power my chop saw and lights cutting wood etc. Works like a champ. This generator has the neutral bonded to the frame. All info indicates I do not have to ground it, unless I'm running it directly in to my panel, via a transfer switch. Going to make life easier. However, you should always check with a qualified professional if you are unsure what your situation is with the equipment you purchase.

Nice!

Good luck! It can be fixed. Not sure if ANYONE has the part anymore.

Thank you for this video! I am about to do the fuel pump and radiator on my 84. It's gonna a few days because I operate slowly.

Sorry to see your still having the same trouble code.Check your base timing, Plug disconected at dist.Then recheck with plug conected at dist. The timing should advance if it dosen't your ECM is not getting the signal from the dist. That would mean follow all the wiring From the dist to the ECM.you need to do a external check for bad, melted , broken wiring. If that's ok check with a test light To check the wiring under load.Good luck electric wiring problems can be a real SOB sometimes.

It may be your valve stem seal.

Did the code come back after you cleared it?
