2009 Chevrolet Corvette Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette has three engines to keep apart, one of them supercharged: a 6.2-liter overhead-valve V8 of 376 cubic inches with a supercharger, a naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 of 427 cubic inches, and a naturally aspirated version of that same 6.2. Base, Z06 and ZR1 cars divide them across hatchback and convertible bodies, so induction, cooling and torque figures all have to be looked up per engine rather than per year.

Known issues on the 2009 Corvette. Owners have logged 152 complaints against this model year, and the fuel and propulsion system draws half of them at seventy-seven, ahead of the engine at twenty-one and the air bags at thirteen. Those three areas are where this manual earns its keep: fuel supply and management diagnosis with the specified pressures and test sequences; engine mechanical work with clearances, wear limits and torque values for all three V8s; and restraint system diagnosis, including the circuit diagrams and the handling cautions that come before any work on it.
