    Engine Smoke

    After taking a corner pretty hard then punching it I noticed a big cloud of bluish-white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipes. It's never done that before and the only thing that has changed is addition of roller rockers, 62mm throttle bodies and oil change. The engine only has 20K on it and has...

    Smog Check

    My smog renewal noticed states: "Smog certificate required at a test only center". Apparently my car made the HEP (high emitter profile) list plus I live in an "Enhanced Area" (region with high pollution levels). I'm worried that it won't pass the smog check since I recently added headers...

    Smog Check -- Ouch!!

    Just had the smog check done on my Viper and it cost almost $100! :eek: Last time I had it done (~ 2 yrs ago) it only cost ~$30. :) They now have to place the car on a dyno and spin the back tires while measuring emissions. The only good news here is, thanks to Arnold, my registration...

    Idle Problem

    I accidentally left the hatch open overnight and when I tried to start the car the next morning all I heard was "click-click-click...". I measured the voltage on the battery and it only had 3v. So I jump started it and it started OK but it just will not idle. When I take my foot off of the gas...

    Engine Check Light - WTF

    Lleone/JonB - thanks for the input I'll check it out. JonB - sorry if my heading offended you, won't happen again. I was just upset that I'm having problems with my car so soon. Even though my car has 13K on it, I've only owned it for 3K. Regards, Mark

    What's with my fuel gauge??

    What\'s with my fuel gauge?? I know that my viper has a 19 gallon tank but everytime the needle hits "0", the most fuel that I can put in is ~ 13 gallons! Is there a 6 gallon reserve? Does anyone else have the same issue? Thanks!!

    K&N Filters

    When I bought my '99 GTS several months ago it came with K&N filters and smooth tubes. I was wondering if the filters can be cleaned or have to be replaced. Also, how often should they be cleaned/replaced - the car is mostly driven in stop-and-go traffic. Thanks!!

    Engine Differences

    I'm thinking of trading my 99 GTS in for a 2001 GTS for the ABS feature - it's cheaper and less of a hassle than installing ABS on my 99. What is the difference in engines between 99 & 01? I love the radical sound of my 99 and definitely don't want a wimpy sounding engine! Thanks...
