Why would a 97 Wrangler be hard to start when hot and run extremely rough when under heavy throttle?

First change the fuel filter. Check the cat convertor.

Is the temp gauge showing the engine running hot? Could be a water pump prob if so.

second the first answer probably a clog in your exhaust,if not my camaro did something similar it was mass airflow sensor,but if that was the case it would register with computer.

Why does your 1985 corvette idle a little hi when its first started then idles down low and you can hear the cam then after about 10 seconds idle hi again?

There can be several answers to this question depending on specs, upgrades, etc.

Talking stock, and assuming that compared to any other TPI engine that this is indeed a problem the most likely cause is a vacuum leak.

If the vehicle has a big cam, (not stock) that's just how some cams idle is a real lopey idle.

It could also be detonation. The corvette is equipped with a knock sensor, so if there is any sort of tapping in the engine, whether this be from a problem, a deserved tuneup, or even if you tapped the engine with a wrench, the knock sensor will try to compensate by changing the timing of the vehicle slightly. This with change the vehicle idle up and down.

Is a Ford Mustang faster than a dodge viper?

No. Factory equipped Mustangs cannot match the Viper's V-10 motor.

2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 claimed top speed = 200 mph

2009 Ford Mustang GT V-8 claimed top speed = 145 mph

Keep in mind Dodge may have claimed a slightly higher top speed than actual to appeal to wealthy speed demons who can afford to insure such a car, while Ford may have claimed a lower than real life number to keep the Mustang affordable to insure.

Even with that taken into consideration a Viper would run down a factory built Mustang in short order. Even specialty built Mustangs like the Roush and Saleen models would have a hard time keeping up.

However the Mustang's lighter weight and handling will give it an edge in some aspects of driving and racing.

77 corvette automatic- neutral safety switch is bad again after running car 20 minutes. Wires to safety switch are hot. Can I by-pass what could be causing the switch to blow new starterbattery?

When I changed my shifter in my 74 camaro I had a similar problem with the battery dying. I later found out that it was because my neutral safety switch was going bad. so what i did was bypass my neutral safety switch by taking it off and just keeping it in the park position but that made the problem worse so what i did was take the n/s switch that came with my shifter and ran two wires from the n/s (RED And PURPLE WHIRES) which is the park position under the carpet to the n/s for the console and i havnt had a problem. or what you can do is disconnect the green and purple wires and ru a jumper wire between them to see if that will work.

What causes exhaust pipe metal sounding rattle from right rear of 1981 Corvette automatic at 1300 rpm in any gear but no rattle in neutral?

You need to check all the exhaust pipe hangers, one of them is letting the exhaust rattle against something. Also check muffler heat shield it could also be loose. When transmission in engaged in any gear the engine is torqued to the right, so that is moving the exhaust ( it is attached to the engine so it moves with the engine )into a position to rattle, in neutral the engine is sitting evenly in its mounts so no rattle. May want to check engine and trans mounts too.

1981 Chevy Corvette and none of the brake lights or the emergency flashers will not work for some reason it's not the fuse so what could it be?

This can get complicated OK check your brake light switch (it is under the dash look under dash at the brake pedal look for a switch the goes that switch when you push the brake pedal there may be more than one) use a 12 volt test light or meter to see if the switch has 12 volts and is working. If not replace if so next you may want a wiring diagram a lot of time the hazard switch goes bad or the wiring in the column goes bad. From the fuse panel to the brake light switch and to the hazard is a orange wire make sure has 12 volts at all times if not that's the problem. from the brake light switch the wire is white and goes to the hazard assy. . the orange wire also goes to the hazard switch then comes out the hazard switch brown and goes to the hazard assy. . coming out the hazard assy the right brake light wire is dark green and the left wire is yellow.
