This weekend I will be out in the garage trying to replace as many vacuum lines on the Vert as I can, and also working on my Pressure Oil Leak. Car does not leak, or drip oil under normal driving conditions, but when the car is driven hard, it leaks oil onto the passenger exhaust manifold. It has excessive oil pressure as well so I want to find out why there is so much crankcase pressure. I will be out there with a Diagram from my service manual, and will be running all kinds of new lines and correcting all the different ways it is run that are wrong. When I got this POS it had major problems vacuum wise, as well as the wiring is terrible. I want to try to start doing like Wayne, and fixing all those things that do not work, or do not work right.
Thought I would share my weekend plans.

Got up this morning, went to breakfast at Jims down the hill. When I got done eating we all made a circle through Cars and Coffee. Pretty dead this morning... was looking for the guy from JDM Motorsports to get a price estimate on my fuel cell for the coupe he is supposed to be getting me (For 3 weeks now). No sign of him so I have come home, put on the TPS, did its adjustment thingy, via directions I got off of the Corvette Forum, and took it for a little test drive. Idle is still way to high. I know of one direct manifold vacuum leak that needs fixed. It is like way hot, and I am taking a break with a Powerade. Going to look for a routing diagram, and then headed to the store to pick up a bunch of vacuum hose, and a couple of connectors. Once that is done I will start in on my replacement and cleanup of crap under the hood. Off and on today puppies are leaving to their new homes, and I do have to make a run to Taylorsville in the Suburban to pick up something at work, and also to drop off a puppy hopefully. Hopefully this weekend the vert will start to look better under the hood a little. BIG THINGS ARE INSTORE FOR THIS RIDE AS TIME AND CASH ALLOW. She really needs some cleanup of wiring, and also the cam is starting to flatspot I feel. Either that or a lifter is collapsing so I need to get in their replace cam and lifters. Should be fun and I plan on taking a more expensive, but less downtime consuming process. Either way I will see what I can do to replace stuff as it is needed under the hood and keep driving this thing daily. Sure was fun at the track though... Have to get a couple of things fixed, and make a tweak here and there, and we will see how it runs after that. Tell RMR I will return!

I have a couple more errands to rum today. Once I get back does anyone have a good link to a vacuum diagram as I could not find one in my fsm. I am sure it is there and I have just not dug deep enough. I want my blend doors to work, my cruise to work and all the leaks stoped by Monday at the latest. Then I want to start in on electrical soon there after. Tired of no temp gushed, having to hotwire my fans and still guessing. Goal to have it all fixed by winter and still working on the coupe
