Sorry for being MIA, thank you for the responses! I was getting an error message for several weeks when I tried to post.

Today I swapped out the old Magnavox ignition system for a Delphi setup. Cleaned the ICM grounds very thoroughly while I was in there. It started right up, and this time it ran ...

All right, I was going to try and figure this out myself, but after lots of farting around with this I am caving and asking for help. This is on my new 1992 SE project, 106k and has been sitting for the past several years. Magnavox ignition.

Condition #1: Will crank like crazy but not fire ...

What a fine beater! And I love the mats!

This is an amazing repair! And I can relate to your 150 junkyard quest. These little cars are so great to do anything on, everything is laid out so pleasantly, Mark is on his third one now (last one got backed into). Awesome save!

In awe of this wheel well repair!!

I'm currently in the process of redoing the headliner, then I will scrub down the fairly good condition but dirty interior. Then, I need to collect parts for Delphi ignition swap. If any one has an extra ICM, coils, and ICM plate that they'd like to turn into money, let me know! I'm in particular ...

Why just creak the door open? Just kick it down in a blaze of glory.

Nice score on the"new" car. 106k miles in 30 years...wow. Just getting broken in.

Ha!! Well, I can't help but feel a little sheepish for not being around. This is such a great forum, and I feel grateful for the handful of ...

I went 4 years without a Bonneville, and it just wasn't right. I acquired this little gem a couple of weeks ago, after about a year of casually keeping my eye out on Facebook marketplace. Once this relatively beautiful condition Pluto clone came up for sale, it was love at first sight. 106k nearly ...

If the new sensor tests good, there must be another sensor that's out. The light will go away automatically once there's no code anymore.

Goodness. This is why I'm afraid to try newer cars! But, it's inevitable. Amazing how much there is to be surprised by with just a 10-year difference in technology.

Beautiful car.

Just for future reference or anyone else reading, the dash doesn't need to come out for the blend for actuator. It's rough to do it with the dash in but its quicker.

When I read that step in the FSM, I was like, LOL NO. Just scratched up my arms a bit and had to do some finger acrobatics, totally ...

Wow. Now I've seen it. Anyone else seen a blown 3800 head gasket before? First time in all these years, for me. Well, you know you've got it licked now, glad you're at least doing a fun upgrade while you're at it.

Oh my, you've still got the i30? Must be a full house on that street lol!

I guess I need to check this forum more often! Congrats Mike, it's a lovely car and you sure deserve it! Good call on the new headlights, I restore them all the time and it drives me crazy how quickly the oxidation comes back. And cheeez, that brake job... I echo the sentiments above, people ask me ...

Gorgeous car, I love these.

Dayum, Mike!! Sweet shot, looks like a blast!

That car is simply amazing. Very special! Those seats are perfect still!

Beautiful, definitely impressed by anyone who can do a nice headliner after I did mine (not nicely, btw). Going to do the headliner on my mom's Saturn soon, thanks for the plaster of paris tip! Looks well worth it!!

This thread is for how to remove the engine WITH the trans, so many steps do not apply, but it is a good breakdown: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/engine/topic160.html

It's not bad, keep track of your bolts, bag and label, give yourself lots of time so you're not rushed, you can rent ...
