    3800 1998 GTP Recall

    Just got a letter in the mail from GM stating that there MAY be a small risk of my car setting on fire, and so I shouldn't park it in an enclosed area....awesome. Get to take it into the dealer for free, which is nice because I need my suspension looked over after all the damn potholes I've...

    3800 Urgent Help Needed

    Ok, so here's the deal. I had a blown fuel pump resistor, and so I hotwired it to be able to drive to classes today. I got about halfway before my car started to develop a weird whine to it and started to stall a little bit. I gave it some gas (alot) and the car cut out at about 3500 rpm. I...

    3800 I'm Back!!

    3800 I lost something....

    My tensioner is shot, and I ran over something important that came out of my engine bay. I had bad vibrations so I removed the SC belt, and now I'm running minus the charger. I need a quick and effective fix, which most likely sounds like it would just be a larger, oversized tensioner pulley...

    3800 New noise in the car

    My car started making a new bad noise.....it sounds like a whirling/sucking and it's coming from the SC snout and the belt? Could it be the cold? I'm also using the car as a delivery car. I'll diagnose more later....just kind of a bitch

    3800 Powertuner

    I need money, and I'm done pissing with my car at this point I'm including the Keyspan USB-Serial Port adapter with it, as I will no longer need an adapter for something I don't own. Works, can't really say anything other than that. It either works or doesn't, how well depends on your...

    3800 Good news for a change....

    My driving privileges are no longer suspended....should be finalized by Thurs this week, and my license will be mailed back to me sometime after. No lawyer, all I did was go in, talk to the state, and they vacated the ticket giving me supervision. This is awesome. So I get my car back!!!!!

    3800 UPDATE

    I'm going to court Wed Nov 1st. I'm vacating the ticket and seeking supervision. 20 mph over.... a 15 mph over conviction back in Jan. 2005, and a parking ticket is on my record as it stands. Hopefully I'll get supervision.....if not i'll be upset

    3800 No! I need help!

    Ok, so apparently if you're 18 and you get two speeding tickets between 15-25 mph within one year, your license gets suspended for three months??! What happened to three strikes?? My mom called me and told that she got a letter in the mail saying I had to turn over my ID to the Secretary of...

    3800 Is this normal?

    Thats my drivers side rear tire.....my passenger side is just as bad. Funny thing is, 12K miles on the tires. The fronts are getting there too. It's due to bad alignment...but still should the tires be that far gone? They'd make nice racing tires, but when it rains I feel like I'm driving...

    3800 Need new brake pads

    What's a good set of long lasting brake pads, that are decently affordable? I'm also thinking about new rotors, probably off of ebay. Will new rotors make a large difference as well? I want better brake response as well, right now I don't have that. On a further note, Mike K, the WBS brake...

    3800 Im an Idiot - Help??

    OK, so I lost the 10 mm bolt that connects the EGR to the manifold. Luckily I'm running without the EGR, so that's ok, I don't need that on. However I also lost one of the studs for my manifold, and so I've got a leak up front. It's the bolt underneath where the EGR pipe meets the drivers...

    3800 02 Sensor

    Is there any way to tell wether or not an 02 sensor is going bad?? I can't directly contribute bad fuel economy to it, as my poor driving habits tend to skew any possible hints either way, and other than crazy 02 readings during scans I have no clue if it's functioning correctly. Can I have a...
