Ahh...I see it now. How long have you been receiving this error message without replacing this item?

Hey Andrew,

Any chance you can give me an idea of where this "exciter/receiver" is located? Also did you have to replace this part or was it service-able?

I was advised that I needed to take the car into a GM service center to have the ingintion replaced and that this was a "common" failure mode ...

I agree.....use em both.

The issue with that suggestion is getting the Tach not to work. Over the course of 14k miles I think it has happened maybe 3 or 4 times.

Anyone have any experience with an intermittantly dead Tach? Every now and again when I start my car the tach will not come up with the rest of the gauges. :sad5: It is the only gauge that does this and it will come back to life after I shut down the car and start it up again. Strangest thing ...

Go back to wendy's and hit it with a hammer, sometimes that helps, if you get one more start out of it, you can at least get it home.

I hope you mean the starter!! :eek2:

That poor car is 16 years old. It is allowed to have a bad day or six. Just part of it. Even my 01 needs some TLC everytime ...

I went with the Thrasher kit for my 01. Quite happy with the results. Atleast the spacers were metal, bronze I think. I wouldn't bother putting in a shift kit without the springs tough, IMO.

FYI. Another discussion on the same subject.

Any chance they have an 03 or newer with a tan interior?

Here is a link to the tires that I purchased for my Bonne. I have had no issues with them, I have yet to drive them through a winter yet, but I think they should work well.

I bought this same tire about 2 months ago. Love ...

Do you guys all live together or something?

BTW, here is what a failed 4th clutch shaft looks like: This is what I am hoping and expecting to be wrong with the Bonneville's trans.

So you are full on betting this is the only issue with the Trans? Are you able to replace the clutches in this position?

so those holes are so the auto climate sensor knows what the interior temp is?

Next question.....where is the passenger side sensor? Or does the system just approximate the passenger side temp based on the driver side temp +/- the temperature setting offset?

I figured but I didn't want to just assume. Thanks!

I'm confused.... That link is for a BMW mod. How does that apply to the Bonneville?

......seriously guys I was anxious to see this car.

You'll wanna keep a feel out for "hard shifts." Check the common issues threads for all the potential issues you wanted to know about and more.

If you have 17" rims....plan on spending some money.:angry4:

I agree, Goodyear Assurance Tripletread tires are great tires with a long life expectancy.....just too expensive. The Perrilli P-Zeros are a better gripping tire but tread wear life is a concern. I picked the Yokohama Avid H4S tires and ...

Welcome to the club!! You made the right choices. The car and to join.
