New to the forum just thought i would make time for an introduction. my name is not important what is important is that i share a love for my pontiac that i hope most of you do as well. I have owned 3 pontiac's in the 9 years i have been driving and have only owned 5 cars in that 9 years. A sunburst orange fiero that i loved but eventually sold. It had a v6 which got me into trouble on more that one occasion. A 2000 Grand Prix Gt that was totaled out by a drunk driver and upon hearing that Pontiac would cease production this year. Decided to buy another one. Though with the economy the way it is. And money tight as always I picked one up that had issues. Of course with the intention of fixing it. Im not a mechanic at all. Basics is what I have did till now. But for the price i couldnt argue. A 99 grand prix se with non matching rims and a heck of an oil leak. Your forum has helped me several times and searches always seem to lead to a guide that has been written by someone from this forum. So i figured im using your guides might as well become a member of what appears to be a great community. Im still in the learning stage of taking things apart but i have figured out that many things are capable with the right guide and patience.
Fixed so far
Front main seal-New water pump-new starter-new thermostat-wet floorboard
Still to come
Both cv axles-isolating squeaky pulley-isolating power steering drip-crankshaft sensor-camshaft sensor
All i can say right now is i really hate to take the harmonic balancer off again to replace the sensors first time broke the head of a smaller breaker bar
And for those wondering yes the car has issues but body is in good condition and only paid 700 for it. Now up to 1200! Still not bad. Its starts runs and sounds good till you make a turn and then pop.
