So this time I had enough with the bonnie and I am getting rid of it. But the condition it is in is not so great. I will need to first put all the carpets back in since I took them out do to a leak issue that I can not find, my gas guage is messing up, and my headlinear is horrible! Basically the headlinear is just straight falling down.

You think I should try to just fix the headlinear and then trade it in or just leave it as is, put the carpets in and trade it in as is?

Fuel guage is a $45 fix: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... hilit=fuel

Carpet is just as easy to put in as it was to take out.

Headliner can be fixed for about $50: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... =14&t=2420

Pretty easy fixes you have, and all of them have step by step tutorials. I'm not sure why you are freaking out.

Not just those minor things as well, engine is acting fun that I have no idea why it is.

If everyone on here gave up on every engine sound we wouldn't have much of a club, could we persuade you to at least get us a video and let us have a look at it? Remember, advice is free here

Keep at it.

And if you really are done, fix it first, you'll get MAYBE half of what it's worth with that stuff going on. 2 or 3 days and you should be able to get everything down, unless the engine issue is a major one (doubtful.)

Its no really a sound the engine is making its what its doing. Once in awhile, more now then normally, I would hit the gas to move (doesn't matter if I go to punch it or just cruise slow) it'll move then stop almost like it ran outn of gas then kick back in and move.


Also I know the carpet is as easy to put it back in as taking it out Andrew, its just finding a leak thats holding me back. The leak is mysterious

As for the leaks, the usual ones are, moon roof drains at the moon roof, moon roof drains at the floor, door seals, or water sheild inside of door. Easiest thing to do is to strip the interior, which you will be doing to remove the carpet, and then either have someone hose the car while you are sitting inside or turn the lawn sprinkler on it and watch where it comes from.

As for the "stumble", do you have any way of scanning any parameters not just codes? Does it have any codes? I would start by looking for vacuum leaks, ignition or even the MAF. Clean the TB (including the IAC) and MAF and be sure to use the correct cleaners.

No I have nothing to scan the car. Only option would be to go to Autozone and have them scan it.

For leaks, I don't have a moon roof, and I have replaced the weather guard behind the door panel. I can try the weather stripping. It is leaking on both sides and you see it running down the side, it comes from the front somewere but I can't figure it yet.

When you say it is leaking on both sides, where are you referring to? Is it leaking from the door area, or up under the dash?

How old/many miles is your fuel filter.

And if you do end up getting rid of it, Id try selling it yourself. Ya wont get much on a trade-in IMO.

Heres a crappy cell phone pic of were exactly the water is running down in the car when I talk about the leak.

The water runs right were that quarter is




Also the fuel filter replacement, I have never replaced it since I own the car unless a shop did it without me knowing. I own the car at 60k and its at 150k

I also came up with a list on things that I know off the top of my head that is wrong with the car that makes me wondering if I should get rid of it.

-Rear shocks need replacement
-Find leak
-A/C doesn't work (I don't know if its my controls not letting it work because the one side got fried)
-Headlinear needs replacement
-Airbag light is on
-SES light now on
-Engine is feeling weird (yesterday driving home on highway it felt like I was running bumps over but I wasn't)
-Engine also feels like it is hestitates at times
-Back seat is messed up
