That "heavy knocking noise" you think you can get away with is gonna be a piston blowing apart. Ask a dozen forum members about it. You seem to think the pcm can pull timing fast enough to keep your pistons from chipping. 99 out of a 100 times maybe, but why risk it? Besides, your car WILL pull timing. It costs an extra 2 bucks per fillup to prevent that from happening. Why not?

This


What your attempting to save by buying 87 etc.. Can cost you your motor and will effect performance.. Let's be realistic your not spending that much more with fill ups running 91+ as oppose to 87. If your that short on funds.. Eat out one less day a week or get a cheaper meal, or stretch your box of cigarettes (if your a smoker) out more.. Etc and you'll have the money for the difference.

I hate when you mention you gotta run premium and other folks freak out like it's that big of a price difference.. Yet they can eat out or buy cigarettes or lottery tickets r eye chance they get.

LOL! YA nicotine/alcohol, fat, lottery tickets, or eating out a bunch is definitely not me. 😆 Paying a little more for gas now vs an engine later, NO PROBLEM! ! ! Thanks again!

I like this car too much to hurt it like my last one!

Is there a video available to reset the TPMS? My monitor is not reading correctly.

I saw one on the you tube of some guy pressing buttons on his dic.
It is probably in the owners manual or just start pressing buttons

Man whats with the montage collage pic all the time. Is that your sig?
 


I never got an owners manual with the car.😧

Pretty much, here's a start to finish set.........thus far 😉

1. Inflate all tires to pressure indicated on tire placard.
2. Turn ignition to ON position. (engine off)
3. Press vehicle information button until TIRE INFLATION MONITOR SYSTEM PRESS SWITCH TO RESET is displayed.
4. To reset low tire pressure condition, hold down the DOWN/LEFT arrow button until TIRE INFLATION MONITOR SYSTEM HAS BEEN RESET is displayed. Release DOWN/LEFT arrow button and TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL is displayed.
5. To reset system after tire rotation/replacement, hold down the DOWN/LEFT arrow button for 5 seconds. Release DOWN/LEFT arrow button and TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL is displayed.


I just grabbed that from wherever. The most important thing is to always check the pressure on EVERY tire.
Those chrome wheels will make the warning go off quite a bit. How do I know?? I used to have some.
Everyone who has had those wheels faced the same fate......leaking air and bad flaking of chrome.
When your TPMS goes off it will wack out the traction control and stability control.

Crap man those instructions aren't the right one. Ours is more simple.

I really should type it out but this a copy/paste.....this one is right.

Instructions
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to "On." Don't start the engine. Press the options button until the Tire Inflation Monitor System is displayed on the menu. The options button has a small "i" graphic on it.

Press the set/reset button to reset the system. The set/reset button has a graphic of an arrow pointing left on it.

Press the set/reset button to exit the menu. Remove the key from the ignition
 


I wonder where those rims come from? they sure do not look like the ones I had on my 2004 GTP. Are the rims 16" I will try and send a picture or two of my 2004 GTP and you can see the difference, or hopefully see the difference. My friend also had the 2004 Grand Prix and the rims you have are exactly like the ones he had on his Grand Prix, oh they are nice rims for sure.

Nice wheels from a 100ft away and immediately after you put air in them. They are 17 x 6.5 ,52 offset with 225/55/17 rubber.
One of the first major dollar jumps would be a wheel and tire purchase.
18 x 8, 35-40 offset with 245/45/18 rubber would make you very happy. You will learn to hate those wheels.

The only quick fix ( like I did with one that leaked 20psi a day) is to bring it to a good tire shop--not one of the chains.
They will grind the inner flange and goop it up with bead sealer. It held better than the other three did after that.
But come on....do you want to spend $30 or more per tire to try and nurse crap wheels along.

Think ahead and start looking for decent wheels and tires......you should be able to score a new set for around a 1000 if your shopping skills are good.
I don't know if you have typical winter there, but don't even think about those torque stars for winter beaters
