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

    Extended cranking during cold stops (Particularly in Hot Weather)

    If I let my car sit during for a day and then start it (particularly in hot weather) I have an issue with excessive cranking. Takes at least 10 seconds if not more, almost like it doesn't want to start. After its started I have no trouble starting the car back up regardless of how many times...

    Why are V6's so frowned upon

    Once upon a time I had a MN12 T-bird with the 3.8 Liter NA Engine. Was a nice car that didn't have a lick of problems other than maintenance items. Constantly got 22-23 MPG combined with near 30 on highway. Wasn't the fastest car around but had some peep when needed. I'm not going to pretend a...

    Water leak

    In my car it looks like I have water leaking from under the glove box. I had my mechanic do a spray test by spraying water over the car. The drains where the Windshield is had water directly poured in and no water leaks. However I do have a small leak in regards to the top passenger side door...

    Car jerks and vibrates when moving slowly, hesitates when speeding up

    I noticed lately that after my car warms up and you start it again you get sort of a rough idle. The car also jerks when moving slowly backing up and driving around a parking lot. Twice its even hesitated to get above 30 mph and if I'm not mistaken has some power loss around the 3,000 RPM area...

    Will a heavier person damage a Grand Prix car

    Need some advice, Have someone who weighs between 300-350 pounds who sometimes may ride in the car. Live on a dirt road where the car would already almost bottom out as it is over a particular dip. Was wondering if this person will put any stress on the suspension, front-end and tires. Also will...

The car lot put in another transmission and replaced the cooler line, as well as replaced tie-rod ends, motor mounts and a bent axle. One day I was backing out of parking lot and...

    Hello

    My GF and I bought a 2001 Grand Prix GT from a used car lot last month. Love the legroom and comfy interior, being that I am a tall person. Before we owned a dark green 1995 Thunderbird, my she rest in peace. I love the car to because it gets decent fuel economy but has acceleration and HP that...
