    Guess I Found my AC Problem

    I just had a brand new OEM compressor put in my '97 GTS, (it was leaking at the pulley area). I spent $300 at the dealership for the labor and vac and recharge. Worked great for one day then found out afterward the hose to the condenser was also leaking, have yet to replace it as the dealer...

    Finally Brought home my dream car

    Sweet! I too, know exactly how you feel! I just picked up my '97 B/W GTS a couple of months ago! I've been coveting one ever since first laying my eyes on one back in '96 and I still can't believe I finally have one in my garage!! Congrats!!!

    Doors locked ,won't start...nothing works right! Help?

    Damn that sucks! I'm a new viper owner myself. Sounds to me like the fobs need programming. Programming the fobs is probably a really strange sequence of events that you will need detailed instructions for. I don't know how to do that but I will have my service manuals tomorrow or Saturday. I...

    Taking my viper in for service...

    Yeah, unfortunately there is no way to be sure your baby will be pampered and cared for like you want when taking it in for service, especially after you leave the premisis. I always stay within eyesight of my viper when I take it in for service (if I can afford to hang around), but I just...

    Gen 1 - Start Up Question

    Yes the clutch pedal must be fully depressed but the car doesn't have to be in neutral, (though it wouldn't be wise to start it in gear with just the clutch pedal depressed). Sounds to me like it might have a weak fuel pump or a bad check valve in the fuel pump, either way, still sounds like a...

    PS steering woes - not ps pulley

    It's pretty rare for PS racks to just "go out", though it can happen. How many miles are on the car? It sounds to me like he provided you with a PS pump receipt, but never ACTUALLY replaced the pump. My guess would be the pump is fried, not the rack, unless the car has 100k plus miles on it...

    PS steering woes - not ps pulley

    Yep, that sounds just like what I did on another car of mine, which was the fix for a PS pump problem it had when I bought it. The same procedure will work on just about any car with power steering. :)

    PS steering woes - not ps pulley

    That sounds like the method you would use to flush and refill the system, you shouldnt need to do all of that unless you think your system is contaminated. There should be a fairly simple procedure to bleed the system without removing any hoses or plugging any ports. Checking for bubbles after...

    PS steering woes - not ps pulley

    I don't remember the EXACT procedure, just do a google search for bleeding a PS pump system, it's pretty much the same procedure for all cars. Last time I did one it took about 30-40 mintutes just to get all the bubbles out. You will have to have the front wheels off the ground. If I remember...

    PS steering woes - not ps pulley

    If the car is drivable, then it sounds like everything is hooked up properly and the rack is not screwed up. There is a procedure to follow when bleeding the system and it is generally not a simple turn the wheels left and right "multiple times". Run the steering wheel with the car started (dont...

    who should i use to ship the viper im buying from Cali to NY?

    I purchased my 97 blue/white GTS a couple of months ago, it was in Mississippi. I live in Oklahoma (about 700 miles away). I flew there to pick it up, and I DROVE IT ALL THE WAY BACK HOME! It was an awesome trip! An experience I will never forget. I got lucky, not a single rock chip, or ticket...
