2000 Chevrolet Corvette Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette keeps the configuration simple and puts the weight on procedure. There is one engine, a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter overhead-valve V8 of 350 cubic inches; one trim, Base; and three body shapes, convertible, coupe and hatchback. What varies from car to car is condition rather than specification, which is why the useful material here is the diagnostic sequence, the measured value that sequence should return, and the torque figure for the fastener that goes back on afterward.

• 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2000 Corvette. Four recalls carry onto this year's record. The column lock recall is the one that changes how the car drives: the lock can keep the steering system from turning after start-up, and a crash could follow with no warning first. Lap belt webbing that twists into the retractor and jams there is the second, and two aftermarket lamp recalls, both for assemblies that do not meet the federal lighting standard, round the list out. Of 280 complaints, steering takes 170, service brakes nineteen and the electrical system fourteen.
