    Getting aggrivated with my Gen I not starting.... Maybe my ECU?

    Not sure about th eGen 1s, but the Gen 2s fuel pump is shut off by the alarm and has to be reset to get the fuel pump to work again. Also make sure you have a good fully charged battery, Vipers do odd things with weak batteries. Not sure about that burned wire, you could call the Viper Wizard...

    Buying a GTS, question regarding paying for it

    In this day and age there is no reason why someone would take cash only for a car that costs more than 10k. I would walk away from the deal. Stolen cars are cash only deals. This guy is trying to hide something for his own benefit. There are other Vipers out there. He will agree to "meet...

    My Acr Was Totaled Last Night!

    ACRs have a stuffer springs, setup more for smooth tracks. I read on here before that the ACR setup can be difficult to drive on bumpy roads because it can bounce right off the pavement. Good luck with your claim.

    Does braided lines off gas?

    I had a 300ZX TT and had a gas smell. Turned out to just be a loose clamp. The gas was sweating out the end. The oder was strong even though it was not even a leak. You could also check your charcoal canster (also a filter in it) to make sure it is working properly.

    GTS Common Problems???

    The gas pedal raddle is an easy fix. The cam up top of the pedal can have some play. I used a piece of sponge and wedge it between the cam and the pedal's medal bar. It took a few hour to figure out but only a minutes to fix. Over two years and no problems.

    Go here to read test reviews http://www.radartest.com/. I bought a Whistler cordless radar detector (1788 also called XTR-280). It stays on 100% of the time unlike other cordless radar detectors. Works great and no cord is even better. Rated the best cordless on radartest.com for under $200...

    HOOD ADJUSTMENT INFO FROM PRIOR THREADS "OK, this has been bothering me for several weeks, and I have tried to collect some info on hood/headlight/front fascia adjustment.

    Storage Question

    Changing the oil is cheap insurance. Though your oil may appear clear, it can still have fuel in it that makes it acidity. I also heard that it is also recommended to put a teaspoon of oil in the sparkplug holes to coat the top of the pistons, keep the tires off the ground to prevent flat spots...

    Tranny issue on 2000 RT - Need Advise and Help please!

    This is just a thought. Maybe the transmission is moving a little too much and allowing the stick to touch the opening in the floor. This could mean your trans mount is bad or loose. Another thought could be your engine mounts are bad and causing your trans to move. I remember reading about...

    I thought this was an interesting mention of the Viper before there was a prototype made. It was only a 2" x 2" mention under FYI.

    I'm a Viper owner!! Pics inside.

    Re: I\'m a Viper owner!! Pics inside. Nice Viper! The pedal setup does take time to get use to. You can also individually adjust each pedal by taken the cam knob off. There are direction on this forum on how to. I did this and raised the clutch all the way to the top and adjusted the gas...

    3 inch crack on hood at passenger wheel well area, Fixable?

    I think you deserve a new hood, but the insurance company will probably give you a hard time when they see it cost $16k to replace. New, used or repaired, you will have to your hood painted and that is usually frowned on if you ever go to sell your Viper.
