nother update:

ok so the problem has continued to happen and ive taken a closer look at the gauges when it happens. also sometimes when i go to start it either it being after it kills on me or from starting it in a parking spot. what sometimes happens is that the engine will crank but not turn over ...

so iam going through the elimination process to determine a hick up problem i am having. i have eliminated the possibility of a fuel pump, battery and alternator are new, all grounds are good. so now iam going between the MAF and CPS. ive sprayed the MAF with cleaner and looking to find and replace ...

well got it grounded out. fuel pressure is still good got that checked today. any chance that a bad ECU would cause these problem?

so i was looking through fuses and battery wires and saw this O connecter sitting on a bolt with no nut to hold it in place. it is located in the left side in the middle befor the alternator and right above the belt. any ideal if it is a ground for something?

Wouldn't taking off the plug on the maf cause problems?

And how do I go about testing the fuel pressure

It happened again. It hick upped and the battery light came on.

thought i should add the bit that just recently happened. i was driving on some back road and come to a stop sign. i turned right i drove maybe a 100 feet when the car did a hick up (the term ill use for almost shutting down the regaining its power) the did another maybe 15 feet later and shut off ...

ok so i recently picked up a 97 grand prix se and have noticed a problem that shows it ugly face at random times.

so ill do my best to explain it. but kind of hard to with out personally experiencing it.

Here is what happens
Ill be driving down the road doesnt matter the speed. It will be cruising ...

i didnt know you could merge them lol i was like WTF WERE DID MY UPDATE GO lol.

well so the official diagnosis came in today. turns out something broke loose and made a hole in the transmission housing and gave it a pritty healthy crack on it to and the differential gernaded.. wish i would of got a pic. Luckily the mechanic found some one looking for a engine and misc parts for ...

what do i think? i think you owe me a new pair of pants.....

well thats not good news. is it and expensive fix or a cheap one. i bought the car for cheap and put some money into it to keep it running untill something major happens. so i got to decide if it is worth fixing. i paid 200 for it and put about 400 into repairs.

blah that doesnt sound cheap. but i dont think it was that cause i was able to drive it the short distance i needed to in order to get it to the shop. or i could be wrong. oh and the all the tranny fluid leaked out.

ok so me and my friend were taking my 96 bonnie to walmart. she drove fine the whole way there. then when i was turning into a parking spot. she didnt turn normally. kinda like you were turning on ice. were the car slides then catches then slides. i didnt think much of it. after i got out i noticed ...

I know when i tried doing a tint or film over the head lights i was at wits end trying to find a premade set up. so i went to the parts store and bought some NightShade and blue painters tape. this is what i came up with to have a custom look with out completely screwing over my light out put ...

what made getting pulled over today even better. is it turned out my car has been uninsured since OCT :bluetwitch: :dontknow: . ive been giving money to my rents for my insurance every month. so the cop told me that and said i would have to impound the car. i insisted to him that ive been paying ...

Just cant make law enforcement happy. last week i got pulled over for to many light (as posted) and just tonight i get pulled over for not having enough forward lamps.....

well i knew something would have to be done to the windshield. i was more curious if i got the HUD if i had to do any special wiring (buy sensors) or do i just connect it to wires that are already installed, and if i cut into the dash to install it if i have to worry about cutting and wires and ect ...

You might wanna check the Flasher. if you have not already. i know when that goes out you lose turn signals but unsure about hazards. its about a 4 dollar part IIRC.

ok so i just got done replacing the thermostat on my 96 se. i used a 195 thermo with the fail safe, the gasket, and some thermogastet apoxy. i got her all put back together and took her for a quick highway run. i noticed the temp seem to bounce between 185ish no 200. is this a normal temp flux for ...
