Alright, well I ran into a problem. A stupid problem. So the bolt that holds the metal pipes that are part of the heater hose, well it doesn't want to come loose. To make matters worse, there is almost no room to get at it. To make it terrible, it's a stupid the bolt has an allen head on it. WTF GM? I'd like to meet the dingus who decided that a regular bolt would not be suitable.

There it is, hard to see sorry. The A/C compressor is really in the way. I didn't think I'd have to remove it, but it looks like I may have to. Any ideas?

Got the son of a bitch off, sorta... I ended up just prying and breaking the metal clip thing. God damn it was a pain in the ass. Will hopefully finish it off tomorrow.
Now I have to figure out the oil leak.. It's coming from the back of the engine near where the trans and engine meet. I believe it's the rear main seal, or the oil pan gasket again. It's a shame, it's just been replaced as of a year ago this month.

Every thing is in... Finished it on Wednesday...
I was too nervous to fill it with coolant and start it.. :(

So I have a question. BEFORE I started having all these problems. When I would go out to start the car, if I turned the key on, let all the lights come on, but then turn it off, it made a vacuum sound. It doesn't do it anymore however. Was that vacuum sound for the Optispark or do I just have a possessed car? Sorry if it doesn't make sense...
-
Im not aware of anything that would make a vac sound for the opti... u sure ur not hearing the fuel pump prime?
-
That's probably what it would be. Just wondered since I don't hear it any more

car is running groovy.
Couple questions:
My clutch pedal clicks almost every time I push it in. Its annoying as hell.. This the result of a clutch throwout bearing?
Also, my security light has been on for about 8 months. I haven't had any starting problems so I believe VATS is not the problem. I tried both keys, light still on. Is there a way to reset it? Like leaving the ignition on for 20 min.
Thanks!
-
Ur gonna have to bypass the vats... or tune it out. Eventually... it wont start. I hear licking the chip can get u going in a bind (no bs... it was in another thread.)
-
I'll add doing the bypass to my list.. Will that at least turn off the security light?
Also got my hurst shifter. Shout out to @Fastbird What a nice guy,didn't expect it to come in. I was honestly thinking it'd come in like next week or something.
-
The bypass should kill the light. Yes.
