Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    2006 grand prix gxp PO521,522

    I have a 2006 grand prix gxp v8 73,000. While driving the engine light and oil pressure light came on at the same time. I stopped checked the oil it was two quarts low, I added the oil and checked the codes, I then erased them, haven't driven it since. They read PO521 and po522. My question is...

    Broken GM Engine Mount Strut Bracket

    I noticed my engine was rocking a bit to much when I would go from reverse to drive. So I checked under the hood. Its on the passenger side in the front of the engine, connected to the dog bone. I guess it is aluminum , it is silver. I know how to replace the part, I'm just wondering what...

When I take the oil cap off the engine will stumble and die, also when I pull out the dipstick it will stumble a bit and you can feel it sucking air in... Iv noticed when I manipulate the oil cap the noise will coincide with it. I took off serp...

    01 grandprix Lim gasket time!!! :(

    Here's one of the lower gaskets, it was cracked in a few places. I ended up taking off the serpentine belt assembly, might as well change the rear valve cover while I'm in there. I din't see much coolant in the engine though, hopefully most was leaking on the outside of the engine. So much...

    01 grandprix Lim gasket time!!! :(

    01 gp....Non supercharged 3800 I have never did this, but I did a few lower gaskets on 3100 engines. So I think I'll be fine. I have found good info and write ups on it. Mine is leaking right above the front valve cover and coolant sits in the little holes that the upper intake bolts go...

    Negative Camber front passenger sde

    I have a 2001 grand prix. That had a fender bender on the passenger side. When I bought the car it needed a fender. So I'm taking it that the accident may have bent a suspension part. When the steering wheel is straight it pulls to the left, Everything is factory. It's funny I took it to a...

    Trans acting up...advice on my next move..

    Well my car has 99,000 , the person before me i'm sure didn't service the trans. The fluid was a light brown...looked like clean motor oil, not burnt or black or anything. Once it warms up, It slips from first gear, and it will start to make a howling noise. Only when warm though. Once past 20...

    Car still intermittently stumbling at take off and at 20 mph

    The fact that this problem is intermittent is making it very difficult to diagnose. Iv read many problems very similar to this one, but with no solution for me as of yet. 2001... non-supercharged 3.8... 97000 miles Changed Maf sensor to bwd sensor... Car would rev up and down at idle and...

    Up for debate p0420 code and bad gas mileage..

    I am debating with my buddy about, Converters and oxygen sensors, he has a 02 prix non supercharged 3800. He bought it from a younger kid and the car had a bad maf sensor, so no telling how long the previous owner drove it like that. So a bad cat is totally possible. He changed the maf ,and...
