functional hood louvers...???

I have recently purchased an 83 Z28 w/cross-fire injection and noticed the hood louvers are supposed to be functional. Mine are not functioning now, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a common problem with them, and how and when they operate (speed, RPM, etc.)

hey gardner, at least my car is running, unlike some people who have an 86 pickup that sits in the garage. my geo could go zero to sixty faster than that whimpy 305 v8 in your truck. just wait until i get my 350 in the camaro, i will waste your el camino.

:nono: You forgot about my 13-second El Camino which is downright pimp. Besides, my C10 is a long-term project.

Does anyone else on this board have a third-gen with CFI?
