• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Loud pop when jacking car

    When raising the front end off the floor, I always hear a loud pop which I'm assuming is the spring expanding rapidly as the weight is lifted off of it. Seems to come from the driver's side and has been doing it for a while, but it never used to. Anyone else have this happen, and should it be...

    Pressure testing coolant system

    I posted a thread in the general tech discussion and got no replies, so figured I try here. I bought a Stant 12270 pressure tester to help track down a coolant leak on my 04 gtp. The adapter needed to screw onto the filler neck, well... it doesn't screw on. Neither of the adapters (12032 &...

    Cooling system pressure tester adapter

    According to rockauto, the Stant 12032 adapter is what's needed to screw onto the filler neck of my 04 gtp (I have the Stant 12270 tester). So I ordered it, try to put it on, and the f'ing will not thread onto the filler neck. Does anyone else have this adapter? It's like I can't even get a...

    Timing cover relearn

    When replacing the timing cover gasket, someone on here said there's a 50/50 chance you actually need to perform the relearn procedure. Could I replace the gasket and drive somewhere to have a mechanic do the relearn? How much would that cost? Probably less than even the cheapest scan tool...

    P0650 Malfunction Indicator Light Circuit

    04 gtp. So I pull it out of the garage to do some work, maybe an hour later I go to pull it back in. Turn the key, here one click and then nothing. Don't have power to anything. I try to jump it, figuring battery is dead. Try to start the car and hear rapid clicking (starter solenoid?) but...

    Subtle grinding sound

    Sounds almost like a bad pulley to me, but I only hear the noise when the car is moving. Its relatively quiet, but becomes a lot more noticeable when the engine hits 2000 RPM. Obviously something spinning fast and sound seems co-dependent on engine RPM. However when I put it in park, rev the...

    Broken Oil Pan Bolt in 04 GTP

    Went to rotate my tires, noticed oil pooling in the motor mount bracket. Looked under and at first thought an oil pan bolt was missing, then noticed the stud wedged in the hole so it must have snapped off. I replaced the oil pan gasket a few months ago, so I did quite a bit of research...

    Raising engine from below

    Need to change oil pan gasket, its my understanding that you need to raise the engine enough to unbolt and remove the u-bracket to get clearance to remove the pan. I don't have a cherry picker so my plan is to lift the engine from below. I've done this before when I changed my lower motor...

    Hard shift to reverse from park when cold

    I only experience this problem on cold starts: I have to apply a considerable amount of pull to move the gear selector from park to reverse, feels like a lot of resistance. It also is usually accompanied by the engine/trans lurching quite a bit with a clunk/pop sound. I recently changed...

    Front subframe mount?

    Ok, someone help me out here. Trying to check if my subframe bolts are tight. FSM says spec is 133 ft-lbs, rear ones are ok, but front looks just like a smaller flanged nut on the end of a stud? The diagram shows a solid bolt with a hex head going thru just like the rear, not a nut? I'm just...

    Front end clunk

    A little background info on this: I started noticing a distinct clunking noise coming from the front end when shifting to drive or reverse, and when accelerating from a dead stop. Occasionally going over bumps or coming to a stop I would hear it, but rarely. It was hard to tell whether it was...

    Coolant leaking out around bypass on LIM?

    Changed my LIM gaskets and various other things about 3 months ago. All went well, continuously checked for leaks over the following weeks/months didn't find anything. But now I'm seeing coolant bubbling up and leaking around that coolant bypass (not sure that's what its called) on the LIM...

    Coolant Leak

    So I recently changed LIM gaskets, valve cover gaskets, injector o-rings, etc. All went pretty well, but I think I may have a small coolant leak somewhere. The level in the recovery tank continues to drop (its been about 3 weeks since I changed the gaskets) and I keep having to top it off. I...

    vacuum manifold on top of supercharger

    I've searched around a little on this and found different answers, but what is that middle port for on the vacuum tree that goes on top of the supercharger? Does it need to be capped off? I replaced this thing after one of the ports broke (the one that has a hose that connects to the bypass...

    Lower Motor Mount Thread Size

    This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know the thread size for the studs on the lower motor mount? My old mount was worn and needed replacing anyway, but I noticed when I removed the nuts they were pretty loose. I put a new one in about 5 months ago, and I'm just now hearing a subtle...
