Yes. Wires, plugs and coil packs were changed last year in June.

Interesting thing happened. Last night I decided to shift manually to see if it really is the transmission. I put it in 1 and took off. Smooth as butter. I then put it in 2 and took off, smooth again.

So it only happens (loss of ...

Searched all over the forum for transmission issues, couldnt find one that would fit this. Anyways. I posted a month ago and you all helped me to figure out my ICM was bad. Got new ICM.

Now since new ICM. I've noticed loss of power and stutter in low rpms (2000 and below). Also car would rev up to ...

Thanks for the replies guys. It's funny because in june i replaced the ICM. When that happened the car was shaking worse than now so he replaced the icm and it was fine. Is it possible for ICM to die in 4-5 months. I have driven maybe 3k since then.

Is there any way to test the module by myself? So ...

Hello. A week ago i was driving and suddenly the rpm fluctuated, but no signs of missing. We turned it off when we got home then started right after and it had a really bad shake and would die off in a couple of secs. Next morning i started it and it ran fine. Drove for couple days and eveything ...

Ok for past couple weeks. I have been hearing strange engine noise, so I am wondering if some body could help me out.

Comes usually in the morning after first start up and goes away after 10 -15 secs, If i decide to drive away, the noise/knock increases as the rpm go up, but once the noise is gone ...

Woah, those gains are impressive! would you say with high mileage i would be fine getting those? and hows the installation like?

Also nos4blood, that was my original idea, but then i came across case learn and security relearn things and was scared to mess up on anything :/

Yes, if i do mod it, ill just do stage 1 kit, that's it. Though I understand building my own intake will be cheaper than FWI, but given that i have pretty much no knowledge on these, would i be better off just purchasing the stage 1 kit? and along that if i dont get a pcm tuned (from intense) are ...

So I see modding L36, has a bit of different views on it, while some say go for it, the other say no esp if its a DD.

The thing that scares me is that it has 225k, and i've been advised before that if the tranny hasnt been changed (idk if it has) then expect to have it changed sooner or later.

Few ...

Yes, I've read this list and have been tackling down things on that list that havent been replaced by the previous owner. I was wondering what would i begin with after those maintenance items have been done

Ok I know this has been discussed a lot of times, and I've read quite a lot about these. I was told basic mods would include FWI. I have also seen people suggesting 180 thermostat for a cheap mod. But the thing is that for FWI and basic stage 1 mod, it usually lists for SSEI on intense or ZZP, so I ...

My sle would jerk when shifting to D or R. Also it would vibrate when going 50-55mph. After changing one of the ignition coils that was bad, it has been fine since then.

Nope unfortunately I can't do work on cars. Not mechincally inclined.

So basically I take it that these cars are reliable , but i will have something here and there to fix due to miles on it. So if i can't do my own work then it is better to move on?

How about if i get SSEI 00+ with around 100k ...

So yeah is it worth it? Sorry if it is in the wrong section.

The vehicle is 2000 Pontiac bonneville SLE

I know it depends on how's it's been maintained. I got it with 214k and now it's at 224k I've changed oil, rotated tires, coolant flush since then as maintenance.

In 1 year I've had her, ac ...

Ok now i came back from driving and started again and it wont start. The only thing I didnt do this time before turning off the car since it has started was pushing the gas pedal down a few times. I don't think it should make a difference. Could it be something else or it has to be starter?

yeah thats what it seems like. I just went to my car to give it a try one more time just for my satisfaction....and it turns on! I drove for 10 mins and stopped, turned back on, works!

I took it to advance auto parts to get my starter checked, and they said they can't come out at night so i am ...

The date is 6/11 on the battery.

Idk if it is the starter cause last time it happened it didn't turn on for two days then after it did without jumpsrtarting.

Also the day before yesterday I jump started and bit after an hour it wouldn't start.

Idk what it is but I'm guessing whatever it is ...

Nope no one did that and the battery was taken to advance auto parts. He said it had a low charge then after 35 mins it said it was charged and the meter said good battery

Basically when the key goes from off to on all the electrical items work. Headlights work radio and what not, but once you put it to start nothing happens. It's not battery cause I got it charged and same thing. Though its weird that I got it Jump started and it worked but now jump starting isn't ...

Bump.
Update: Took the battery out and got it charged, still same thing. What else could it be?

Yes it clicks, and all the lights on dashboard turn on.

UPDATE: I jump started and after couple times turning it on and pushing the gas pedal it started. Drove for 5 mins and the battery was charging fine, had everything off (lights, stereo) to minimize battery usuage.

2 hrs later, it wouldnt ...
