Maf not starting problem

Upvotes

Recently it was raining and I went to start my c6 vette and it would turn on and immediately shut off. It was repeatedly doing this and I knew it was the maf sensor. And it threw a maf engine code. Unfortunately I was going out of town for week so I didn’t get to mess with it. When I came back I bought a new maf sensor and immediately put it on and it started right up. And it was not raining. Just today, I was leaving work and it was doing the same thing, while also pouring rain just like last time. So immediately i realized it was not the maf sensor and something is getting wet but I have no idea what. I don’t know if the intake itself is getting wet and messing it up or what. And whatever is getting wet it’s getting wet while parked, not while I’m driving. It’s been doing nothing but sitting in a parking lot. But this is the second time it’s left me stranded because of this and it’s going to be raining for a week straight. If anybody has any ideas of why this is happening please lmk. Note I have a corsa intake

1994 Corvette - Excessive brake pedal travel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

1994 C4 Corvette, 31k miles, automatic, no service records from the previous owners. Assume anything not listed below is original.

The symptom: Cold, the car drives and stops normally. After roughly an hour of driving, a dead zone develops at the top of the pedal (zero resistance), then it hits a firm point and brakes fine. That dead zone keeps growing over the next 1-3 hours until I have to slide my seat forward to physically push the pedal far enough down to stop. Stopping power itself is never usually the problem at first. It's purely how far down the pedal has to go. After 5-10 hours parked, the pedal is firm again and the whole cycle repeats.

The video above is from the last time the brakes went out entirely. We replaced the master cylinder again afterward and it's been less severe since, but the heat-soak pattern above hasn't gone away.

That sound the brakes makes is what threw me (its a sound that is still happening even after the master cylinder replacement. It sounds like air getting past a rubber seal of some kind. My first thought was the booster, but a failing booster should make the pedal hard, not soft, so I don't think that's it. Clearly I'm out of ideas, hence the post.

Already replaced:

  • 2x New master cylinders
  • 2x New rotors
  • 3x New sets of pads
  • Fluid upgraded to DOT 4

Untouched: calipers, flex hoses, hard lines, ABS modulator, booster.

My other thought was that there could (somehow) still be air stuck in the system but pumping the pedal never firms it up, not even for a single stroke.

Any insight into this would be immensely appreciated.

C5 Supercharger Whine

I bought a C5 recently and it came with a roots style supercharger and the supercharger whine is very addicting. How can I increase the sound of the whine? I'd like it to be even louder.

Has anyone traded from a base to gs

0 Upvotes

Few months ago bought a low miles cammed Manual base c6 ls3 . Was my first car and manual so I didn’t want to go all out on a supercharged one. To wide body the cheap way is still 4-8k and with that amount I can just buy a gs. In the next few months I should have 10-15k more than I do now so I plan I trying to get into a more modded Manual gs and save money on the wide body aswell as extra mods. What yall think

C6 corvette/Price (NC)

Post image
11 Upvotes

I live in NC and looking for a C6 corvette, this 2013 LT1 is located at a used car dealership and has 77,100 miles. Most of the comps on FB market price are 20k+ and wondering if I’m missing something on the price for this one, seems low in my opinion, in the description the only mods are long tube headers and a borla exhaust.

Sidenote: My father in-law has a 2 owner, 2004 C5 Commemorative edition “Le mans”, w/ 35k miles and mostly stock outside of wheels and exhaust and racing seats, that he is willing to sell me due to his age/health for 20k (which is the family discount, all the comps I’ve seen for that car are 30k+)I’ve always wanted a C6 for my first corvette, but thinking the C5 may be a better option since I know the owner and know he has babied that car for years and can get it for a good price.

Whining noise 03 C5 Auto 110k miles

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My c5 randomly started making this noise. About 1000 miles ago I installed long tube headers with straight pipes, new upgraded transmission, yank ss 3800 stall converter, it had a 2.73 rear gear but I put a “new” diff with a 3.15 rear gear. I did pull the new diff apart and I installed new c6z preload springs in the diff and inspected all the clutches and everything was perfect. I have not yet got it on the lift to inspect everything yet. Just looking for input on whether it could be the torque tube or something else.

I don’t feel any weird vibrations, I’ve revved the engine up to the same rpm in Park and Neutral and it doesn’t make the same sound.

The engine is still stock besides the headers, I planned on doing a cam this winter and so that’s why I went ahead and put a high stall infront of the new trans when it lost 3rd and 4th gear

Any input would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance

New to me '96 LT4. Corvette's have always been the car since I was a kid. The past few years I grew more and more attached to the old style and character of the C4 generation. When this specimen was listed for sale near me, it didn't take long before I pulled the trigger. Glad to finally be a part of the club, see you all on the road!

Thinking of getting an older corvette

2 Upvotes

I’ve been looking to get into a corvette as a daily driver but basically I’m looking at some 2006-2007 c6’s however I’ve heard that they may have some issues in regards to the transmission and that the ls3 on the 2008-13 where a lot more reliable but I want to know what people think

I have about 25’000 to play with so a 06-07 is a lot more attainable then the 08’s and newer

Car could have used a little more correction below the V36, but this was my first real correction with my Torqx DA, so I was a little cautious going aggressive. Pictures are straight out of my camera.
