Ignition control module?

Hey,I gotta 04 Bonneville with 106,000 miles on it.Just this week I noticed that ONCE THE CAR GETS FULLY HOT the engine will skip a beat so to speak for a second but will keep running.

Re: Wheel Bearing?

Or,with the car in the air and in neutral you can spin the tire and hold the spring in your hand and you can actually feel the "grating" of a bad bearing,compare both sides and one side will feel noticeably smoother.Or,while driving,lets say your passenger side is bad,if you swerve the sound the ...

Re: antilock sensor

IIRC,the teeth on the hub spin around a magnet which creates a DC voltage signal that the PC reads.It looks at the "off" part of the signal to determine wheel speed,so if there is no signal at all,ABS no longer works.

Re: What is going on here?-Done!

Long story short,the tranny looks at certain things to determine its shift points,such as the load on the engine(how far your foot is down),because the engine wasnt running right,you had to put your foot down further in order to get some type of acceleration outta the thing which makes the tranny ...

Humming noise

I noticed that almost right after I start my car,there is a humming noise coming from the rear of the car,almost as if it has ride control.Is that what it is,or is it something else?It only lasts maybe 10 seconds or so,then it turns off.
