Re: Fuel leak!

Thanks for all of the help! I purchased the Dorman kit (part # 800-059) and it did the job. The splicer piece was a pain in the butt, but it all worked out. I appreciate the info!

Fuel leak!

Hi there! So today I smelled fuel while driving home from work. Opened the hood and there is a leak happening at a connection where a black rubber/plastic elbow joint goes into the fuel rail. Any tips?

Re: Braking wobble/shudder ¡¡PLEASE HELP!!

That is correct. It only shudders as I come to a stop. It seems to be more "aggressive" after a while of driving and it's warmed up.

I've rotated and rebalanced all tires twice as well. All of this done since June. The issue persists. When I apply the brakes, I can feel the shudder in the ...

Just the ANTILOCK light

Another issue that has risen, the antilock light on the cluster is going off and on at random. Once it's on it stays on until I turn the car off and on to reset it. Any ideas?

Shuddering/shaking issue

Hi ya'll! So here's the deal. I had my wheel bearings, rotors, brakes, & swaybar links replaced on my 05 Bonnie SE. When apply the brakes, there is still a shake/shudder as I come to a stop; more so if I'm going 40+ MPH. This morning I replace the rotors again, thinking that they may have been ...

UIM date

Is it a bad thing that my '05 SE's UIM date code reads 09/01/2004?

Re: Starting troubles

I'm not even going to try to answer any of this. I'm a beginner with my Bonnie as well, BUT, what causes the UIM to explode and catch fire like that?

Here's the link to the clip I recorded. It kinda sounds like marbles rolling around in a plastic container or something vibrating.

Strange noise! *UPDATE*

When I'm going about 35/40 mph or faster, there's this really REALLY strange noise coming from directly in front of me. Somewhere behind the cluster and only when the car is in motion. It's sounds like a rattling/gurgling/flapping noise. Maybe even buzzing/vibrating. I just had my tires rotated and ...

Re: "shuddering" on acceleration

With my SE, I had this issue a while back. Exactly the same things you described. I took it in to get it scanned but they couldn't find anything.

So, what I did:
Replaced all plugs and wires
Replaced all three ignition coils.

Problem was solved!

Cigarette adapter to USB

Just a question here. Any of you modify your cigarette adapter in the front to a USB adapter? I've seen some concepts but was wondering if any one has really done it.
