Re: 97 Bonni Just died - will not start

Yes that is correct.

I did find the problem, bad icm. I also gave it a full tune up, plugs, wires, coils, map. Runs like new. Thx for the help.

Re: 97 Bonni Just died - will not start

Napa ProFormer brand. They said they would exchange it for the better brand (Echlin).

I will put new gas in, but it only has been sitting for a couple weeks.

Re: 97 Bonni Just died - will not start

Well, I replace the crank position sensor, no start.

Then I replaced the ICM (ignition control module) and the car STARTED. But, it ran rough like it was missing on one or more cylinders and the exhaust had an egg smell odder, different from when the car was running good. I let it run for 5 to 10 ...

Re: 97 Bonni Just died - will not start

Unplugged the maf, no luck. Checked for spark, no spark. Next step, try to test the cps and the icm. I just put a new icm in this past summer. So, guessing it's the cps. Thought I would have seen a code for it.

97 Bonni Just died - will not start

Sorry for posting another "Just wont Start" thread, but I thought I would run this by to see if I get my baby running again.

The car was left idling for aprox 10 min to warm up, and when I came out the car was off (long story short). Tried to start it and just turned over without a hint of firing ...

Re: 2003 SSEi with 68k possible purchase

Done deal! Purchased the car tonight and I am very pleased with everything. Andrew swapped out the motor mount with a new OEM mount so I could test drive to confirm that feel I was seeing in the shifter. Bingo, like mention above what I was feeling was the solid mount. 100% warm and fuzzy! Car drove ...

Re: 2003 SSEi with 68k possible purchase

My OEM style replacement mount failed in less than 10,000 miles. I don't drive like a maniac, but not gently either. Just something to consider.

If you like the 1997, you'll love the 2003. I love mine. In terms of its internal and external appearance, there isn't really anything else on the road ...

[quote="vogie01"]Yeah, you should buy this car before I do. quote]


Now that wouldn’t be very nice to buy it out from under me. But if you do, make sure you have some good insurance on it and don’t leave the keys in the ignition. :wink:

I see your from St. Cloud, I'm just a click up the road from ...

Hey Bill, Andrew here. :hello2:

Like I said, if your only concern is the front engine mount, I can replace it with a brand new stock one in only a few minutes. Here is some info on the solid mount I installed: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/2000-2005-other-than-gxp/topic44765.html ...

Re: 2003 SSEi with 68k possible purchase

Yes, an Andrew flip is a bulletproof car for years to come. What you felt in the shifter handle is the solid mount. It truly is a common issue. I've had a solid mount myself for almost 4 years now.

Issue, when turning the car to the right through a curve doing 30 plus mph the car will jerk rapid to the right than jerk back to the left when I correct it, and the faster I go the worse it is. This will do the same thing when turning to the left but no were near as bad. The ...
