as a test connect one end of a black jumper cable to batt negative and other end of black jumper cable to block somewhere and try cranking...if it starts you have a bad negative battery cable..common on these models. can do the same thing from batt pos to starter pos post and try cranking..if it...
yeah, the spray test is just to show if spark is jumping out...wont show problem with wires to coil connector..except maybe to cause a misfire...need to check coil signal wires in harnes and i believe each bank has common ground...you can try splicing into one ground wire with a piece of wire...
hmmm...at this point i would check the integrity of cyl 6 coil connector plug and the 4 wires i believe it has feeding into it. you may have to take some tape off and see it there is a chafe...perhaps seal up where wires enter connector with some sealant..from your symptoms....fine when...

Ahh, i see. Well, the loose cables are a common fail so hopefully it will help others that end up on this post tracking that problem. Good luck on your quest. I had it and my co-worker had it and spacers tightened things right up.
My money is on loose cables..there is a fix in forum post link below. it utilizes a spacer to allow more travel of rod/cable through adjuster bracket under bottom of truck. a stack of nuts with an inner diameter large enough to slide up and down threaded rod will also work in lieu of spacer...
yep, from all the research and reading i've done...the best bang for buck on these is a tune...from factory the box, exhaust, heads, are all really quite optimized already for average guy like me who stays in low rpms most of time
swap the 6 coil and wire with cyl 4. if problem moves you have a coil or wire issue. if so, switch wire back to 6..if it returns back to 6 its the wire. if it stays on 4 its the coil.
yes, check for exhaust manifold tick if its developed a loose spot...has fooled many folks
if not,
also, my 2002 liked an
ac delco filter better than wix and mobil for start up sounds never thought it would make a difference but it did...
yes, the two rear are inconsequential to engine performance, but will throw a light when they decide to go lazy...at your mileage now I think its a good call to knock out all four as you intend..
cool, you will be right as rain in no time...do a close visual inspection of all wire harnesses and wire routes for any chafing,corrosion, etc. while youre down there..
good plan..soak them all down with pb blaster while they are a bit warm after a drive and use a 7/8 or 22mm to turn each just a bit tighter..yes tighter...this will develop some hairline micro cracks in the threads allowing capillary action to pull in the pb. the next day things will go a lot easier
yeah, i think crank fuse would be a good one...wouldnt even have to mess with going under hood twice as its right on left side dash...just slide it in a blank slot or under car mat. I attached a diagram so folks can see its role in starting circuit.
Wow! what a thorough response Nick, thanks for taking the time. This forum member appreciates you being a pro and sharing and I'm sure others do as well. BTW, what brand of Corvette servo do you recommend?? Terry
HAAA! sounds like you learned that lesson personally...same reason I don't let wife around when I'm working. And I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. I've gotten bit by secondary voltage and it is NOOO fun, my arm was numb up to my shoulder for the rest of the afternoon! thank god...
Ahhh...yes...there's a variable isn't it. Looks like maybe an aftermarket remote start or alarm unit. Must not have been letting an ignition signal through. Great that it is out and now you're starting and running!
as others have said, check underneath of fuse box as well. get some peppermint oil (rodents hate the stuff) from dollar store and squirt some underneath and in top part of fuse box..had a critter once a few years ago..did that..and nothing since. i re-apply every other oil change
