Radio problems
The stock radio in my 94 3kgt is screwed up. Sometimes its fine, but then just out of no where, it just goes quiet. when it does this, i can turn the volume all the way up and hear the sound, only a bit fuzzy. but then the next day i get in the car, and its better, so it blasts my ears off. I dont know whether its the radio, or the antenna. The tape player works fine. I took out the antenna and hooked it directly into the radio, thinking it could just be the cord that runs between them, but that didnt work either. any ideas?

probably the radio, the amp built inside the head unit maybe faulty, i.e overheating through age and once it has cooled down enough it will work again. had this a few times on various cars   treat yourself to a new unit, not worth trying to repair the old one.

Re: Radio problems
It's probably a dirty contact on the volume nob/switch...
If you are really stuck for cash and time you can take the headunit apart and trying blasting the dirt out with electirical contact cleaner while twisitng the volume nob back and forth which might give you a 50/50 chance of fixing the problem. Or taking a soldering iron and trying to find a replacement online in a electronics catalogue (and get raped in shipping) Or you can spend less then $200 replace it with a aftermarket head unit installed which sounds way better then stock.

 There are a few methods. One you can disconnect the battery, one you can turn your ignition to the on position and let it sit for a period of time. Not sure if its 10 minutes or 30 minutes but you can still have chances to put your code in.
