I just came across your video on the 1989 Corvette that you worked on about the fuel injectors. For the past 15 years or so I have not drove my 1988 Corvette because of the same issues. Mine has quit while driving it sitting at red lights or stop signs just too scared to go anywhere in it. Now I know what the problem is I want to thank you so much for this video. I watched both videos beginning to end. I am not a mechanic but I feel this is something that I can do. You seem to be a fine gentleman and very patient. Your dad has taught you well once again thank you

It's a lot easier to get at the injectors with an acetylene wrench. The thing that impresses me most about Eric is that he is more patient than Job. I'm a pretty fair shade tree mechanic but I can swear in Chevy, Ford, Dodge and some VW. and this sweet GM design would have me cookin'. Years ago, I used to set up the old 283-327 mechanical Rochester fuelie system for guys because GM made the injections but not the mechanics. I thought those were 'fun but this baby takes the cake. Truly a misbegotten set up. Hey, Eric, next video maybe you can raise the Titanic?

Only 240hp, but 350ftlb torque. Over 300ftlb through most of the usable rpm range. Just can't breathe well over 5000rpm. TPI is just like that. For as old as the technology, they're still respectable. I'm surprised the plug wires aren't causing misfires at this age. I can't wait for the video where you replace them and the spark plugs. ;)

Morning sir. I was just wondering if you have ever done a video on replacing Ford actuators on AC systems. I have a 2011 F150 and have one of the actuators clicking. Have watched a few videos but would love to see how you would go about replacing them. Thanks. Love watching your videos.

My 1991 vette has the exact same issue. wont start when hot and runs terrible. Less than 18, 000 miles but a history of stale gas and notoriously bad injectors I guess add up over 30 years. I have a new set of injectors ready to put In. Thanks for showing how to change them.

You can get most every thing you need for Corvettes from Corvette Central or Ecklers, my brothers has a 1969: :427/435 hp since 1970 it was a special order factory dual disc clutch Code MA-6 and F-41 racing suspension power steering, It was built late December 1969!

Hey Eric, I have a no crank, no start on 2005 Tacoma. It only happen when the truck has been driven. After it cools off it starts up and doesn't do it during the winter time. Toyota replace the frame 2yrs ago. I 'm thinking its a grounding issue. Any thoughts?

It wasn't long after changing injectors on my 85 Celebrity that the Fuel Pressure Regulator began leaking. Do you, based on what you've experienced, recommend changing it at the time of the injectors? Most the way apart and pressure is bled off.
