#1 Most Common C5 Corvette Engine Problem...and the solution!

I had one replaced last year by a specialized Corvette shop. But I learned more about this sensor from you more than ever. Thanks for a very informative video Lyle! 🏆

While the manifold is off you should also replace the passenger side air check valve, which ALL go bad.

Wow! I love learning how easy it is to work on a C5 Corvette. Watching your videos makes a lot of maintenance easier to accomplish. Thank you Lyle. 😊

Always great stuff, Lyle! It's much appreciated!

Sad to say, I instantly recognized the part being held up , so could almost guess the topic and what was going to be discussed. Always glad that this channel is here to discuss topics with both knowledge and experience , as kind of a countermeasure to all the corvette channels who manage to buy a camera and then give poorly informed advice , some no better than gossip that they heard multiple times elsewhere on the internet and pass on as solid repair tips. I did this job , but didn't know enough to change my knock sensors, so I appreciate the tip and the helpful link. I did clean my air flow sensor , returning it to a shiny color, and cleaned a surprising amount of oily dirt that had collected in the crevices of the throttle body. When I opened my new gasket kit, only then did I learn that I was missing the sponge dirt blockers that fit under each end of the manifold, after puzzling over what these sponge things were for a while, because they didn't look like gaskets, and I hadn't removed anything like that so far.   I was very unskilled at the time, and didn't even know all the wires were held on by clips. Consequently , I followed some bad advice that suggested a shortcut removal, and I accidentally destroyed my connector clip, because the advice didn't mention any securing device on the connector, just said remove the connector , and I was working blindly with extension tools, as suggested , and without feel, trying to avoiding cutting a hole in my car and what I thought was a job beyond my skill level. I bought an extension pigtail to replace the destroyed connector, but don't know which wire is which , because the oil sensor wires on my car are not color coded. I really hope I can figure which wire goes where without hurting something electronic. Stuff like that experience is why I have some resentment towards guys who have a camera, know that Corvettes get clicks, so give out marginal or worse corvette advice, where guys who want to learn, like me, but haven't yet learned the hard way to double check non professional internet advice , can get burned.
