i found it back in 04 when i had my 97 se..i wanted to do a supercharger swap and read the techinfo article on how much of a PITA that is. After i was done crying i joined...and learned alot about my car..and went on to enjoy my SE as it was..

AH the good old days...


James

i really want to make this one...i'll be watching this topic like a *dang* hawk


James

ok..checked coild per techinfo...secondaries are within range but all the primaries are showing 1.1 -1.6 when techinfo says .5-.9 is acceptable.?..it couldn't be that simple could it..they are factory with 104,000 on the car.


James

plugs and wire are 2 weeks old..lol..any sensors that might be the culprit? TPS? Also how do i check these coils?


James

I'm having a problem with my tranny and i've been chasing it for a month now. Everything is fine up until about 45 MPH...then if light throttle or the cruise is engaged, the car bucks back and forth until about 50ish then it's fine...i can apply more gas and it goes away. Any ideas? Am i the victim ...

also back home in mississippi AutoZone rented out vacuum pumps and a A/C manifold Gauge set ....if there is an AZ in the St. Cloud area you might just rent one....


Advance up their doesn't have one....we don't in elk river either


James

i've been with advance since jan 05 and they have been talking about a rewards system since summer 06....lol


James

first got my 97 bonne in april of 04, put silverstars in june of 04, switched them to the 92 i got in july of 05, then to my 02 in may of 08, just had 1 burn out in dec. when i got another set for the 97, 1 burned out in 2 weeks....

don't know what the deal is but i also work for advance auto parts ...

i know..but it rained and is just generally crappy. I live on a dirt road so it's not clean anymore.

James

i'm eager to try these snowmobile thingies everyone talks about. They sound like a blast.

James

it happened before..like last october.

James

MN winters sure will be a shock to you though. Be sure your car's maintenance (especially battery and alternator) is up to date, and be sure you have warm clothes, jumper cables, an ice brush/scraper and some kind of flashlight in the car.

I got it all covered. I'm actually looking forward to it ...

the back window exploded OUTWARD?! :bluetwitch: how in the hell did that happen?


From what i was told by a Glass tech is that i caused a distortion in the gasket by flexing the Onstar antenna to try to remove it...letting air get into a small inperfection on the glass. The day it happened we had ...

I'm gonna give my bonne a good cleaning Friday as it may be the last one till we go through our first winter together (ever! me nor the car have seen snow more than twice). Here's a teaser till Friday...the last Pics i took before i left Mississippi to move to Minnesota.

i'm running a 3.6 now..all is well and TR6 is one heat range colder than stock...i am running stock gap though. I'll be doing exhaust in the spring.

Thans for all the input

James

and btw thanks for all the help. I'm still new to this whole modding thing and i jumped the gun and went straight to the 3.4. Lesson learned. Once finances are straightened out and all i'll come back to modding this car.

James

ok..i'm gonna go with a 3.6 and see what happens...can i use the stock size belt with it? I don't see the 3.6 listed on the intense website as needing a smaller belt.

James

Man i want those wheels SOOOOO BAD! nice find though man. And my 02 ssei don't have a moonroof.

James

You are going to have less KR in winter than summer. If you have 5° in winter, you will have 10° in summer. Deal with it now.


funny you say that because i scanned the car in June using a Tech 2 and only saw 1* when the car shifted...nothing at WOT...think it might be something else? should go ...

true..all cars are different...i might just take the car back to stock completly and deal with it in the spring.
