    Won't idle...

    I've always just turned the key and it fires right up. Now, turn the key and the engine just turns over and over. If I press the pedal and turn the key, it fires up. Take my foot off, it dies. Any suggestions?

    !!CAUTION!! when jump starting your Gen II

    Back in March I had trouble starting my car after a 10 month hibernation. Hooked up the portable jump starter. Wouldn't start. Put it on "Boost" setting. Nothing. After lot's of help (especially from Steve-Indy's phone help...thanks!) fiddling with the alarm reset, plugs, fuel pump...

    Why does my AC only blow out the window defrost vents?

    It worked fine 2 weeks ago. I have the knob pointed to the snowflake and it only blows at the windshield. It was 100+ here and I sure miss the cold air blowing at me. Any ideas?

    Resetting the alarm

    From other postings, this is what I did: Key in the ignition. OFF-ACC x 4. Leave the key in ACC. open/close both doors, hatch and hood. 2 beeps for confirmation after each open/close. With the key still in the ACC position, I pushed both buttons on key fob at the same time.Then I got a bunch...

    It still won't start. Any ideas why?

    The car sat for 10 months in storage. On a trickle charger. Dead battery though. Installed a new battery. The car just cranks over and over. Won't fire up. Reset the alarm. Ign OFF-ACC-OFF-ACC, four times. Got all the beeps confirming everything. Next, was going to pull a spark plug and...

    Diehard Platinum Top/side post battery - Will it fit in my '97 GTS?

    Just went to pick up a Diehard Platinum (It's a group 78, 880CCA, Feb '08 manufacture date) and noticed both the top post & side mount. I've read in here somewhere that top post batteries are "iffy" for fit in the GTS's. It measures 8" from the bottom of the battery to the top of the top...

    Need help...Won't start after storing for 10 months.

    My 3 month house rebuild turned into 10 months. Put the Viper in storage last April. Haven't driven it since. So imagine my disappointment when I went to pick it up to take out for V-tines dinner last night and it wouldn't start. Yes, it had been on a trickle charger the whole time. But, the...

    Sh*t...I put 87 octane in

    10 gallons. I don't know what I was thinking. Ok to run it through? Fill the rest of the tank with 91? Drain it out?

    Isn't this a beautiful sight to see? - pics

    Isn\'t this a beautiful sight to see? - pics I was at the Motors 4 Toys charity event this weekend. Took my GTS. They expected 1100+ cars to show up. 5 Vipers were there: 3 GTS's and 2 SRT's. So what are the chances of the 3 GTS's being all the same color? My '97 is on the left. Isn't...

    Exhaust systems...I would like to listen to yours

    The post about the "delete cat or high flow cat" triggered my question. Exhaust sound is subjective. We all like different sounds. And someone's impression of loud/deep may not be loud/deep to someone else. I have a "Power Effects" cat back that is way too quiet and docile for me (it came...

    "Power Effects" cat back

    \"Power Effects\" cat back Anyone ever heard of it? That's what mine came with when I bought it. I don't like it though. Tooooo quiet. It has a knob with 6 different positions that allow me to supposedly change the flow within and therefore the sound coming out. I don't think it works...

    How do I adjust the doors on my 97 GTS?

    My doors rub a bit on the bottom when closing. I've read that they tend to sag a bit with age. Is it an easy chore to adjust them up? I haven't looked yet, but is it as easy as loosening the hinge bolts and adjusting? Anything "odd" I should know about?

    What temp range should a 97 GTS run at?

    My GTS and I have been together for 1 week now. Only thing that removes the smile from my face is watching the temp gauge move around. What is a safe operating temp range? Minumum I see is 190 degrees. Is the gauge accurate? And how does the summer heat affect it?
