  1. I put new bulbs in the automatic shifter light and replaced the bulbs that are laying haphazard under the control knobs ( heater, vents etc).  Only one light works under the control knob and because they are just laying there I don't even know which one it is. The shifter light does not work. This is not something I am knowledgeable  about  anyways so would appreciate any help.

    1.  I have a fuse diagram for a 1984 but mine is a 1983.   Is there a fuse which controls the shifter  light? I don't see it on the diagram.

    2. Is there a separate fuse for the control knobs. I don't see this on the diagram either.

    3. I notice  three different kind of bulbs for the control knobs  - is this the way its supposed to be?

     

    Heater  

    Where does the heater air enter the cabin?  I can't seem to feel it unless its not working.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

  2. Just want everyone to know that a few years back I purchased window motors and regulators from Nu-Relics who advertises a lifetime warranty if you keep the receipt.  I needed two motors replaced over time and Nu-Relics was literally immediate in their response and shipping of replacement motors . Hassle free no questions asked.   I only had to give them the original order number.  Cannot commend them enough for their customer service and response time. This is an unsolicited comment. 

  3. Looks like the headlight rims (square) are stainless and tarnished.  Could they be aluminum?

     

    Tried.sanding with 1000 grit and  polishing and no improvement.  Would it be better to try a professional polish or get them chromed to match the front bumper?

    I can't find any good ones for sale.

    Got a quote to chrome or polish for $200 each.  I am looking into the cost of electropolishing.  

    Appreciate any help.

    Thanks

  4. Thank you all for everything.  Finally got it fixed. After 7 months the opti  spark was replaced and it seems to be running fine.  Along the way the throttle body was replaced and a sensor on the radiator.  Lets hope it lasts.

  5. Ok finally - air idle control and throttle body was changed - car runs fine but still stalls when warmed up but starts right up afterward .  this is what they are telling me.  The next thing they are going to look at is the "map" which I think stands for manual air pressure sensor ( could have that wrong) if that doesn't work they are out of ideas. 

     

    Any suggestions? 

     

    Thanks Kevin 

  6. Thank you all -appreciate all the tips and will pass them on - the Engine is an ATK engine -company is in Texas - less than 8,000 miles on it. The application is a 350 Chev 96-97 LT-1 engine. It is fuel injected. Engine was new in the car when I bought it in May of 2014.

  7. Thank you.  The engine is fuel injected and I was told the computer controls the idle but not confirmed.   Will have the temp sensor checked. 
     

    Could a short be the problem as I had an occurrence where the car just shut off after hear a snapping noise with the radio shutting off? 

  8. 1983 Avanti with 350 LT engine with 5,000 miles.   Idle drops and shuts off when car is warmed up.  Any suggestions?  My mechanic can't figure it out.  I had to drive with one foot on brake and the other on  the gas to keep the idle up.  The car does have a computer - kind of old and clunky looking.  I am admittedly mechanically challenged. Other than this car runs fine. 

    Appreciate any help. 

     

    Thanks A83
