Why does my 1991 Corvette idle rough?

A rough idle on the 91 vette could be from a variety of reasons. Bad, worn out, or loose spark plugs. Worn out or damaged spark plug wires could be the cause. It could also be the optispark (Distributor for these cars). I have also seen fuel injectors create a rough running condition on these cars as well. Start simple, and don't go to deep in the beginning look at the surface issues and look deeper as you rule out the most obvious culprits. There are many things on these cars that will cause a rough idle but it is better to rule out the cheap and easy to fix causes first. Check the plugs, do a compression test, test the wires, coil, and injectors and what not before you start throwing parts at it. The compression test is a good thing only because these cars run really hot, and some don't engage the cooling fans until 240+ degrees, so it is possible to see a crack in the head, head gasket leak, ect on these especially if the cooling system has not had a good maintenance record.

Answer

You won't find an Optispark distributor on a 1991 Corvette. The 91 vette has the L98 engine, which uses a more traditional distributor. 1992 was the first year of the Generation 2 LT1 engine that uses the Optispark. It is true that many issues can cause rough idle. Rough idle can often be caused by a vacuum leak. Check for leaks, including a ruptured bladder in the EGR valve, which will act as a vacuum leak. So, that is something else to consider.

What are the timing specs on a 1968 Corvette?

Why dont the lights go down on your 1977 corvette?

The headlights require a vacuum to operate down. If there is no vacuum they remain in the up position. You may have a vacuum leak such as a disconnected or broken vacuum line. I have also seen the vacuum reservoir can rotted out and unable to hold a vacuum.

How do you replace a power antenna on a 2000 Pathfinder?

I replaced my 95. I pulled the front right wheel and inner wheel well (plastic). It is above that on a small bracket. You'll need to remove the special nut on top to lower the ant down. I used (carefully) a pair of vice grips....No problem job.

Where is the horn fuse on a 2002 Suburban?

What is the difference between a 1984 Corvette and a 1984 Corvette anniversary edition?

That doesn't make sense cause that would be the 31st year of the car.(corvette) They came into production in 1953.

They did not make a corvette in 1983 so 1984 would be a 30th year. I've never heard of a 1984 anniversary edition tho.

Why does my Chevy big block loss of power after 30 minutes?

I would need more info, but here are some ideas. I do not know the vehicle, however, if it has a catalytic converter, it may be suspect. It sounds like a situation that is happening after warm up, which a cat, would do.

My second though would be your EGR. Exhaust, Gas, Recirculation. It recirculates exhaust through the motor, to burn any unburned fuel. Since exhaust goes through this, it clogs, often.

Thirdly, I have had excperiences where the auto trans., is slipping after warm up. Check the fluid level, and service it. When they change the filter, look for an excessive amount of clutch material in the pan. Some, is normal. Smell the fluid. If it smells burned, investigate further, with professional help.

There are so many other things that, combined, would do the same. A tune up, carb rebuild, or injector cleaning, ect.

What could be the problem when a 1981 Chevy Corvette does not charge?
