    Car broke down in the middle of the bridge tonight

    Did you have an engine light or just the shutdown with no indication? Could you hear the fuel pump when you keyed up? (That little buzz sound from behind you when you first key up that lasts about 1.5 seconds?)

    New Throttle Body

    Just cycling the ignition key a few times will allow the controller to learn the new throttle blade "minimum" position. So if this helped your car it will only get better at this point, not worse.

    New Throttle Body

    Your idle should be 750 rpm... if it is higher, you've got too much airflow through the throttle body, and the computer can't compensate by adjusting the IAC valve. I bet you'd find that the IAC bypass is completely shut, but you've still got too much air through the new throttle. You'll need...

    HOT..................HOT.......................AIR

    This will sound counter intuitive... but give this a try... I took a trip through Death Valley in an 03 Viper two years back... it was 122F out. The A/C quit (and yes the head pressure was too high and the compressor kicked out). So I dialed back the blower fan two notches, and the head...

    Tire Pressure Sensors and Track Wheels

    The tire pressure monitoring system will not immediately fault out if you run a set of wheels with no sensors... It will wait for a number (I think 5 or so) ignition key cycles and vehicle motion before the lamp will come on due to no messages coming from the "stock" sensors. This is to...

    A Viper for the Ill-informed Public

    The electronic nanny would unlikely have saved this teenager... The laws of physics still apply. If you are going 90mph and hit a telephone pole, ESP will not save you. If you are going 70mph and enter a sharp corner that should have been taken at 25, ESP will not save you. If you are going...

    Need to find a good artist to paint the Virgin Mary on my Hood.

    Visit Bob Soroka at KustomHaus http://www.kustomhaus.com... he has done almost all of DCX's custom viper work for all of the special raffle cars and such. I'd trust his work before anyone else, and he has done spectacular things in paint. Remember the spiderman edition GTS for Cingular...

    Battery Tender

    Why not just get a battery disconnect for the winter? Or pull the battery entirely and store on a plank or cardboard in your basement? The worse thing that will happen will be losing radio pre-sets and clock, and possibly a hard first start due to loosing the ecu's adaptive memory? (just give...

    My viper failed smog!!!

    From the 2003 Viper owners manual page 74 "Malfuntion Indicator Light" - MIL light or engine light depending on what you like. "If certain self-diagnostic monitors are not complete, the light starts flashing 14 seconds after the key is switched on and will continue flashing for approximately 11...

    So where does the Vette vs. Viper horsepower war......

    Keep in mind we run out of Crude oil by 2040 according to "Oil and Gas Industry" a monthy oil business rag... At least that's the latest estimates. So by year 2500 we'd better have a new fuel in mind... :)

    Couple of SRT questions

    The car has a tire pressure monitoring system with a sensor at each valve stem. The cluster then sets alarms in two stages... first stage is when any one tire is at 20 psi - and the lo tire indictor will illuminate and a chime is heard. At stage two which is 14 psi the chiming will become...

    Door lock

    In prior posts, this is offically the "hip-check" manuever. Have the key in the door, put light torque on it with left hand, and push in on door with either your right hand or hip (cotton jeans only with no rivets please, or best worsted wool only) to compress the weather seal near the door...

    DODGE SUCKS WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEMS

    Hmmm... if you also follow Classic Mopar values, you'll notice that "warranty" blocks are fairly widely accepted as "original". Warranty blocks typically have blank VIN pads, but date codes fit within the warranty window. In some ways a 426 or 440 warranty block is worth far more today than a...

    Faulty Alarm???

    I'd take a look at your hood ajar switch... they can be sensitive and if they aren't set just right will trip the alarm. The rain beating on the hood and the moisture might be enough to trip it. Just a thought.

    new UK SRT website

    Did you notice on the UK site that the Viper is not called a viper? And in the engine shots there is no viper logo on the valve covers? Must be a trademark thing. All the important stuff is there though.

    Hit fuel cut off today at 6000???

    Fuel Cutoff is 6100 rpm... check your "Hero Cards" and other factory brocures, etc... and that's the same limit imposed on the truck and competition coupes. Check www.vipercompetitioncoupe.com under specifications->engine->max engine speed.
