Re: '90 SSE Tach Needle

Yeah - this is definitely a survivor - (don't want to jinx it) - but still runs like a tiger....

Only mod: put an '89 grille in with the double bars - didn't like the single bar.... replaced some badges that have fallen off etc.

Everyone here on the site is really helpful and good people!

Re: '90 SSE Tach Needle

Thanks for all the add'l info

Well, may have figured it out - all other gauges working normally...

from the mechanic:

We replaced the TEVES brake unit with a used one from a Pontiac Bonneville Club member - seems that sometimes when using the brakes a some sort of weird short(?) occurs to make ...

Re: '90 SSE Tach Needle

Thanks very much for the info - I'll have that checked out -

I know this year car has gauge issues too -

I'll let you guys know if anything is found... otherwise runs great...

I don't know why I like this car so much - costing me a few $$ 289,000 miles

Thanks again

'90 SSE Tach Needle

Don't know if this is mechanical or electric -

Every now and then tach rpm needle briefly bounces up and down on its own (no change in engine rpm) and then resumes normal rpm indication.

Recently had harmonic balancer, Crank Sensor, tensioner assembly & serpentine belt replaced...

Any ideas ...

Re: '90 SSE Climate Control

Thanks for the info -

Yes - ECC worked fine before - battery wasn't disconnected - just jumped - kind of funny - radio works etc. - is there a breaker somewhere in addition to a fuse? That #11 fuse also is the fuse for the radio in addition to the ECC screen - as I mentioned, the radio works ...

Re: '90 SSE Pump? Keeps running

Ah - OK - thanks - I did just have the tires rotated maybe they hit that sensor arm - I'll take the car back to the shop - have them take a look.

Rear end has always been just a little bit low on it's haunches for years... you know given the age of the car - but nothing any normal person would ...

Re: '90 SSE Pump? Keeps running

Thanks for the info - if anyone else can confirm - I'll rest a little easier -

The thing just started doing this a day or so ago - never done it before - runs for a good bit - or if I restart car right away and then shut off - it stops... is there something I can do so it doesn't happen? Or should ...

Just started happening: turn off engine and about 15 - 30 seconds later a small motor? starts pumping/running - it's on right side of engine bay in front, just behind headlights next to the plastic air intake tube and ...

Re: '90 SSE Hesitation

Thanks for the info Matt - I've had Seafoam coursing through it's veins for a couple of days - seems to be slightly better... but not gone - maybe it could use a week of Seafoam

Forgot to mention that if I'm accelerating hard - the shift from 3rd to overdrive at 60 - 65 bogs...

I'll have the ...

On heavy acceration - smooth going - no problem. MAF sensor was replaced 6 month ago when this issue first appeeared - seemed to take care of it - but it's back. No warning lights on dash... so no ...

Hello,

1990 SSE
11372 Zip

Every once in a while when I am braking to a stop, there is an audible pop from the radio, the ABS light comes on and either the car dies or the rpms are so low that I have to put in neutral & rev it to keep it running. If I turn the car off and restart a few minutes ...

'90 SSE Dash display issues

'90 SSE
Running like a tiger and looking great - but -

I have compass display, DIC display and Climate Control display issues.

The displays work intermitantly - they seem to work more when the weather is humid - leading me to believe that the electrical connections are dirty or loose.

Also, when ...
