Re: Headlight restoration without tools, 7 month update pg 4

I am going to replace both headlights on my 2001 Bonneville SSEi.
Does anyone know if the SE, SSE and SSEi use the same exact headlight?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: 2001 SSEi runs like a raped ape but only when it's cold

two months and now is a long time, especially if it is detonating. Also, too clean (bone white) of a plug means you are running way lean, and that can lead to an overall meltdown of the engine. Not Good. Please, pull a front plug, and inspect, and check your wires, and you might as well do a full ...

Re: 2001 SSEi runs like a raped ape but only when it's cold

It surprised me today, it had been running for about twenty five minutes (definately warmed up) and I was behind a hotshot in a Mustang and the light went green. I guess he knew I had an SSEi because he tried leaving me,,, as I was already halfway across this big intersection I floored it, it ...

No plans for any mods, unless there is something reasonably inexpensive
that you recommend :)

byw, what is the little antenna on the back window for, is it OnStar?
I took the stem off of mine.

Re: 2001 SSEi runs like a raped ape but only when it's cold

Well guys, I have only run a quarter of a tank of premium and it certainly
likes premium fuel better, but it still does not perform like it does when it's cold.

I know not to "get on it" when it's cold, but I do know what it's like cold, and it is a monster.
I did not disconnect the battery yet ...

Re: 2001 SSEi runs like a raped ape but only when it's cold

I'll try it, thanks.

Please, don't try it, do it. The way I figure, In the long run, it's cheaper to run premium than it is to replace pistons, or even a whole motor, and it makes the car faster too. :twisted: :beerchug:

She's getting a full tank today.

Re: 2001 SSEi runs like a raped ape but only when it's cold

I don't think it's been mentioned, but just to make sure...you are running premium fuel?

I do not run premium, since GAS prices exploded, but now since prices have fallen back to reasonable prices, I will start using Premium. I know Pontiac requires premium fuel for the SSEi model.

good ...
