Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 OK basically guys to make long story short... my car was at this horrible bull shitter mechanic who basically fucked my car up. Of cause it wasn't up to me to leave a car there as I let it borrow to my friend and he's the one who brought it there. But any who... One of the things I would like to ask you is the missing parts on the car and what they do and how much they cost aprox to replace First pic is I'm guessing its one of the sensors... in red circle Second is the fuse box that is located on the drivers side of the engine compartment Quote
rudefyet Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 The first one is the IAC (Idle Air Control) Valve. Quote
1990lumina Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Where's your coolant overflow can?? Shouldn't it be directly in front of the motor? Quote
Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Posted April 20, 2005 Yah it is. I put it in the back seat for now.. damn mechanic stole my battery and teared the coolant box up. How much does IAC goes for on junkyard or on dealer? Quote
digitaloutsider Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 I hope you either work on your 'Vette yourself or take it to a more intelligent mechanic.. Quote
Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Posted April 20, 2005 Oh thats not too bad. thanks bro! Quote
Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Posted April 20, 2005 I hope you either work on your 'Vette yourself or take it to a more intelligent mechanic.. Vette I do myself. Its my friend who took my lumina to that mechanic. I let him borrow my car till he gets himself another car Quote
Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Posted April 20, 2005 Does anyone know what's missing in the fuse box? Quote
rudefyet Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Does anyone know what's missing in the fuse box? Lots of fuses... lemme go see if i can find a fuse chart for you Quote
rudefyet Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 no luck, what year is your car? maybe someone will be nice enough to take a pic of their fuse box lid for you Quote
Omega-Red Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Posted April 20, 2005 oh btw on top of that he claimed he did 500 bucks worth in repairs of the car like brakes exhaust etc... which was never done as well what i suspect he fried the engine by braking the timing belt so antifreeze wouldn't cool engine. Then he busted trunk with crow bar removed tail light as part for some other part i guess... and probably some other stuff I don't know about. All of that was done behind my back so I wasn't even aware of situation until I came there to see what's wrong with the car and it was at night time... so I had to tow it away from there before it would get hurt more from that arrogant bastard.

jeremy Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 <-------------wants to see a pic of the vette next to the POS lumina.... Quote
slick Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 That sensor is the IAC, its pocket stuff at the JY. If I were you, I'd just go to the local JY, and pick up all the relays and fuses from another 3.1 equipped car, and take the fuse cover with you. While your there, you can pick up the IAC. Just be sure to take some torx bits with you. IIRC, it should be size 10 torx bit. Quote
