I have a 2001 C5.It is all original with 34,000 km.This car runs amazing with no issues at all.Driving this car is like being in another world and it has become my therapy session.Corvette Therapy!😎

[@5_aturn]

My right ear enjoyed this video

[@dolfln2932]

Facts

[@jamesstitt2401]

i got it through my left ear

[@marcanthony6038]

Glad it was nothing serious. I have the same situation. I took the Accel wires off my 2000 Z28 and put them on an 04 C5 I recently purchased. Both Ls1 so the wires swap over. It had the wires you just bought but they were old. I didnt do the plugs because there are two on the Camaro that are very hard to get to. Theyre so easy on the C5 I dont mind doing it twice.The plugs are a must also. I might try to do them this weekend. Dont forget to do yours, even though its running good now. Good vid, thanks.

[@TomRolfson]

On both my C5 and a new Mopar (Jeep) I had EVAP code both times solved by just putting a little vaseline on the gas cap gasket. On the Jeep I even tried a cheap parts store version which re-triggered the code. Put the original on with the Vaseline, reset, added 1/4 tank to bring pressure back and light has gone out and stayed out. With now 6 cars in my garage, I've made an annual ritual of the vaseline on the caps with no side effect issues ... barring a buddy or two making a bad joke about having vaseline in the garage. ;)

[@JayDman]

How to Pull Codes: 1. Turn your key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine. 2. Clear any present messages by pressing the RESET button. 3. Hold the OPTIONS button down, and press the FUEL button 4 times. (This will get you into the "codes" section of the DIC. 4. The computer will automatically display all the codes your car has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. (Have a pen and paper handy to write down the codes) Note: Any code that ends in an "H" is a historic code (something that has occurred in the past, but is not reporting as an error currently.) H = history (may be a solved or intermittent malfunction) C = current active codes 5. Once the computer has finished going through all of its codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration mode. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# Codes." 6. To optionally reset codes once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until is displays "NO CODES." 7. Press OPTIONS to go into the next module (ie, from PCM, or Powertrain Control Module, to TCS, or Traction Control System.) 8. Repeat Step 6 until you have reset all the codes in all the computer modules. Note: Only reset the codes if you want to, it is not necessary to reset them every time you pull the codes. 9. To exit the diagnostics mode at any time push "E/M" button, or simply take your key out of the ignition. Note: Manual mode can be entered at any time during the automatic sequence by pressing any button except "E/M" Once the DIC displays "manual diagnostics", you may select a particular module by pressing "options" button to go forward or "trip" button to go backwards Once a module is displayed and has codes for review, you may view the codes individually by pressing "gauges" button to go forward and "fuel" button to go backwards (to review at your own pace and write down) Hope that helps. Easy to check anywhere on the road without having to plug in a module. Glad the Vette is pulling strong again 👍

[@bob-omb1452]

Yup, have to do this once a month, super easy on the fly

[@elekkarnai]

Just from your dash oil pressure sensor may not be working. It sat at 80 psi the whole time. Not necessarily bad oil ressure C5 are known for the sensor going bad quickly!!

[@williamstuart368]

I guess I've officially crossed into "Old Fart" status; nearing 50! Growing up, I was changing wires in my cars at least once every couple of years. Yeah, there was ALWAYS an appreciable difference in the horsepower and idle smoothness. I also had the fun of the 400 CID (in my Chrysler) and 500 CID (in my Caddy) where I had to match up the eight different length spark plug wires. I once spent the day tuning up my Chrysler with the 400 and went for a ride with really high hopes. Rode like a dog. Dashed, I trudged on, determined to upgrade my carb or do headers or something. I ran out of gas far from my "usual" crap Delta station and had to get Sunoco. WOW! It was like I had a WHOLE new engine under the hood. Bottom line...plugs, wires, filters and lubricants are all important...and always get the best (you can afford...LOL) but don't forget to NOT skimp out on gas. My 2004 C5 and my Benz ONLY use Premium...and ONLY high marque gas brands.

[@markmath2883]

Too young for old fart status- I am almost 69, half again your age. Still, am retired with my good health, money in the bank, four motorcycles and I know where I am going once this body gives up.

[@dukeman7595]

@@markmath2883 Amen brother!!

[@dukeman7595]

Gasoline brand make a huge difference in performance. I use strictly 'Shell premium gasoline' and it makes a vast difference in my corvette. I was stuck out of town at a car show and had to use an off brand the difference is quite noticeable. So, in conclusion I do agree, however, some people do not, and contend it's all the same gas, it's not.

[@kallo182]

​@@dukeman7595 Absolute right. Here in Germany i fill only Aral 102 into my Cars. But Shell V Power 100 is nearly the same.

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Had the same exact symptoms/ basic remedy with my '06 Mustang GT. Replaced Spark Plugs, Coil Packs, Fuel Injector and Coil Pack Connectors and was good to go.. 👍😎👍

[@brandonburr4900]

I have a 2001 mustang gt and mine did the same thing. A coil pack went bad. Only replaced one and probobly should do the other 7. I was told the others will eventually go as well. It was do the flashing check engine light followed by the robbing of power as well. At least next time I will know what to replace.

[@blakerobinson8]

I had the same thing happen with the flashing CEL of the same non specific misfire on my old 1996 TA, changed the air filter and spark plugs and it fixed it. It is a very easy job as long as it isn't a fuel problem.

[@aldiaz01]

I have had those "check engine" problems. When i saw your light going off, i felt so relieved. Like it was my own 😅

[@Bhamofficer328]

A flashing SES light while driving is one of the most scariest things you can encounter.

[@crodrc51able]

Hub, so I’m looking for my first Vette. Just got out of my fourth Stang. Just got into a new home, so decided to not do a new Stang, seeing that I’d be looking at a minimum of about 37 grand. A C5 is still a contender, and still looks and sounds like sex. I’ll find one a bit lower mileage than yours, budget is around 20 grand, maybe a bit more. Manual preferably, love the Z06 but want an open top such as your targa or a vert. Prices seem to be great out there, and a nice top end package and exhaust will round it out. Subscribed to check out how you brought yours up with modern amenities such as the LED’s, routine maintenance, etc. 🇺🇸👍🦅💪

[@edwardepps7151]

Now...if you would do a review on that '84 Vette

[@ejsgarage]

I had that issue with my Corvette C6 Z51. It was fun when it worked but it had too many issues. You may need spark plug cable sleeves.

[@berrisfueller8205]

Good job man! Easy fix. I put oem iridium plugs (ac Delco 41-110) but went with msd wires. Runs so much better.

[@drsethsr]

Why not change the plugs while you are at it? Front O2 sensors? I got a tune on my 2001 C5 that eliminated the 1-4 shift lockout, and cuts fans on at lower temperature.

[@leecovette6895]

Glad to see you back looks like you have 243 heads all you need is Z06 cam and your just about have an LS6

[@richknudsen5781]

Always try the easy fix first is the best advice you ca give yourself. Nice scan tool btw.

[@carguy6636]

Good job. Not trying to scrutinize. I would've thrown in some fresh plugs also. Other wise I'm glad it fixed your car man.

[@CBRuRedE1]

I had a very similar issue with my Grand Am GT. It was missing bad and it too had the flashing check engine light. Changed out the plugs, the wires and bingo. Problem solved.

[@JBsC6]

142k onmy c6 so Id recommend from experience 50 to 60 k miles change stock oem spark plugs...the smart play.even though they say 100k. Loved my two c5 s. Prettier corvette. Great value. Thank you for the video

[@johnwehunt4305]

The evap is probably the rear EGR check valve tripping the code. You have to remove the intake manifold to get to it. Sometimes a cleaning of the check valve clears code but why not just replace since the maintenance level is high.

[@sspp3065]

i got a code one time to be aware of and it had something to do with the mass airflow.I just about spent the money on a brand new mass air flow sensor and i thought to replace the airfilter and bam no more code.Check engine light went off.That air filter was not really that old but it seems it does not take much to restrict the air enough to cause the check engine light to come on.

[@terrysigmon3119]

I have wanted a C5 for awhile now. I've found some for under 10k dollars but are all automatic transmissions. I almost got one just because it had 67000 miles on it for 9k but it was white with a black top and i really want the hatch with the fastback window and a manual transmission.

[@saywhaaat8391]

Just found you. Tip: you should always replace the spark plugs when you replace the spark plug wires.

[@barryallender4861]

Sounds Great! Being paranoid I would have changed plugs too. I had a 2003 50th Anniversary Edition. Does your C-5 have skeleton pedals. They drove me crazy especially the clutch when it rained. If the bottom of my shoe was wet and would slip off the clutch. This was dangerous in traffic. I could never find a fix.

[@kickinvideo333]

Beware the needle bearings that the valve rockers ride. They tend to shatter from aggressive revs over time. The pieces end up floating around and into an oil circ screen. It'll catch them and prevent serious damage to the motor if they weren't. LS1 & early LS2 motors have them

[@backoffu]

Should have put some di-electric grease in the boots of the wires. It'll be a bit easier next time you have to remove the wires. Nice, easy fix!

[@kaseymerritts3061]

I have a C5 2000 Corvette only has 38,000 miles on it do you think I will have that same problem because it feels like a Miss to it when I get into it but it's not flashing no lights or nothing

[@JimmyH1020]

I was wondering, a while back when you first got the C5 you said that the reverse lights weren't working. I spoke to you back then. Maybe I missed a video weather you were able to get them working? I still haven't figured it out. Thanks , Jim

[@dennisthemennis99]

Had a p0300 on mine with a horrible knocking sound and a flashing check engine light. Ended up being a dead cylinder due to a hole in the piston. Replaced the engine myself and now it is back in action

[@markfurchtenicht2182]

Think of the money you saved on not buying the plugs. Good video👍🏼

[@CactusCatt]

Well, I'm wondering why you plugged in a OBD module when it's built right into the DIC on the C5. You can see every code in your system on the dash. You can use a phone to look up the meaning of the code but you can also clear many of them via the DIC. This will clear many CELs without too much trouble.

[@captaintom9521]

Just bought an 02 Silver. I went Auto, more traffic here. Bro, clean those leaves out of your vent! Enjoy

[@chicalitrece9409]

I want your opinion man this is gonna be my 1st Corvette and I'm looking in 98 C5 convertible in pretty good shape we 90.000 miles on it for 8600 $ old man is the owner So on Guessing is the 1st owner. Looks pretty clean in the pictures.

[@jerrysmith6911]

Had same thing happen to my 03 c5, changed the plugs and wires also cleaned the mass air flow sensor. Back to running like a bear!!!😛😛

[@317Streets]

Why would you now replace the spark plugs as well?

[@jeffb243]

Glad you got it going again!! Yeah, those heat shields are a bitch to get off the plug tip!! I found it was easier taking off the coil pack brackets, but I changed my plugs & wires at the same time.

[@Chris.Lewis1456]

Or just use the on board diagnostic. Reset the light and see if it comes back or anything is stored.

[@joshuastevenson5140]

*changes spark plug wires once* MO POWA BABEH!!

[@buckrockerm]

Could be a coil. Be very gentle when pulling wires...they break inside easy imo

[@genej50]

good video. never had the plug problem. changed plugs and wires at 100,000 like the book says. i fixed the evap problem by getting a gas cap from amazon for $14.00.

[@dukeman7595]

I go to the junk yard and pull old plugs and wires from various different automobiles and put them on my cars. If one wire is short, I just splice two different wires together, save a a bunch of money this way..

[@tomasrivera1739]

Way to go bro.

[@That_Guy_Izzy]

Your content is crazyyyy! Editing off the chain! I’m ova here taken notes like 👀 📝💯

[@sccarguy]

Hey to save yourself so issues in the future add some dielectric grease on the plug end of the wires to keep the wires from bonding to the plugs. All so helps keep moister form causing a problem should you get caught out in the rain with your Vette.

At the 8:01 point in the video, we see your suction mount for the Nikon camera... could you tell me the make/model and perhaps where you bought it? I'm currently looking for something like this too. Thanks!

[@apm6997]

Did u change the spark plugs too?

[@markmath2883]

I have a 2000 C5 convertible that had 43000 miles when I bought it. It started to run rough shortly after buying it-was the plugs. Except for the clutch, I have had no problems with the car. Though I replaced the clutch, the pedal occasionally engages within a couple of inches of the floor and doesn’t want to spring back...have to put my foot behind it.

[@Mr_Make_It_Worse]

Changing my clutch fluid solved my lazy clutch problem. It’s very easy. Suck it out with a turkey baster & refill with new.

Try some mechanics gloves

[@nastybastardatlive]

Why change plugs if you don't need them? Also, you should have found the bad wire before changing all 8. An ohm meter would tell you. Try to understand the mechanics behind what you are doing, don't just throw parts at the car and think you're a mechanic.
