Spooky Windows!

Okay. So this is kind of an update on a post a did a couple years ago. So i found and fixed the leaks. Also re-soldered and jacketed the faulty wires. At least the ones under the driver seat. Others in the floor were inspected and found fine (one other junction i actually re-did as well, though). I ...

Re: Wiring Diagram Needed

Yes indeed. The front marker light was suspect, but giving it a brand new one still left me the same troubles. It didn't look bad to begin with, but couldn't hurt to change it out right? I eventually did this with every bulb on the left side! All left side bulbs are new now. And still the trouble ...

Wiring Diagram Needed

... i think.

So i was searching through and haven't found anyone with this particular one, so i thought i'd ask. Couple weeks back my left turn signal started 'glowing'. Then it went away and worked fine. Now (the past two days), i have lost ALL driver side marker lights, though not the head or ...

Re: Transmission Coolant Lines

Indeed! And we had heard that might be the trouble, but we couldn't understand why the line had moved. It does make sense. It is so nice to have spares on hand... :banana:

Re: Transmission Coolant Lines

Okay, so here's the deal.

First off, i've replaced the elbows from way back with the aluminum ones. I also checked those. They are fine.

A pressure check shows that there is in fact, no pressure at the rad right now. Not a good sign of course. But expected because... When the cap came off the rad ...

Re: Transmission Coolant Lines

I appreciate all the assistance! :thumbup:

Yeah, i definitely don't believe in the vanishing either. But it was a mystery. The two lines i pictured at the bottom of the trans case were in fact, eyeballed back. And they were both connected to their proper points. I expected one of them to be the ...

Re: Transmission Coolant Lines

Okay. Got some of that. It appears then that the clips have blown off or something and allowed that line to ____ vanish(?). Wherever it went. I got the replacement line already as shown in that third link. And that means i need a new rad too? Alright. I take it the line isn't a simple reconnection ...

Re: Transmission Coolant Lines

Coolant.

EDIT: I should also note, that this isn't either of the two that run into the actual transmission block underneath. That's what making this so confusing. Those two are solid, and running into where they need to. It's the one that is at the top of the rad by the cap, under the reservoir ...

Transmission Coolant Lines

Okay, i just looked through the forums for the past 30 minutes and couldn't find what i needed. So i got to ask - does anyone have a diagram that shows where the line goes from the rad to _____ wherever it goes?

Here was the sitrep: i went to start the car and go when i noticed some steam, then ...

Re: 4 at Once - Ps 0102, 0122, 0463, 1122

I am seeing that. I disconnected the MAF to see if that would help things. It does... To a degree. Overall the drive is better, there are way less stutters and hesitations. Initially it turned out fine actually, but then the troubles started coming back gradually. I now have a MAF in place from a PA ...

Re: 4 at Once - Ps 0102, 0122, 0463, 1122

So... After doing that it does seem better. I had already cleaned it, just to see if it was dirty. It didn't look it, but i did it anyway. The wires around the TB area all look in good order; no frays or exposed leads. Connectors in good shape. Overall area is actually pretty good looking. Now that ...

4 at Once - Ps 0102, 0122, 0463, 1122

Yup, got em all at once. Nifty.

So i've been having this problem lately of the car chugging a little at both lo & hi speeds. This has been only the past week, and i didn't use her at all over the weekend. And there have been a couple of cutoffs in random areas. I've searched through the forums ...

Steering Oddities

Okay, these are weird and i haven't been able to track them down here. I hope they're only odd to me.

One is this hesitation the car has while accelerating during left turns. At any speed and any degree of turn. It's really mild, doesn't seem to be preventing acceleration but is noticeable. It has ...

Re: cold air intake question

I got a (possibly stupid) question pertaining to these that have been up north: do the super-cold days of deep northern winters get too cold for FWIs? I mean, there's such a drastic change of temperature of 7 degree air (sometimes) and 200 degree engines between 3 feet of tube and filter. There ...

Beeps & Stops & Ornery. Oh My!

So now all my windows and doors are going haywire. Probably literally - that is most likely the culprit somewhere. I've heard that a faulty/dying DDM might be the cause of the troubles i'm having, i just wanted some confirmation.

Things like, random beeps for no apparent reason. Driver window ...

Re: Brake Upgrade

This may be a stupid question, but after looking up some calipers/pistons i noticed: did the 04-05 GXPs also have single pistons? Or maybe just the Grand Prix? I'd like the dual but can't find the compatible ones.

Re: Brake Upgrade

Preciate the replies guys. So this is to say that if i stay GM anyway, not much (if any) altering is needed if i just want to get better calipers (2x piston) and pads (per app). It's in the rotor dimensions where it could get trickier. But has naSTA put, i will need the bolts or alterations for the ...
