    2006 Grand Prix- first car

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I eliminated my basket case Grand Prix. That car was horrible, breaking down more than it was on the road.

    Installing remote start on non-remote start car

    My Dad has a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix base model and one feature he really likes about my 2008 Grand Prix is the remote start. I know the best option would be getting an aftermarket unit and installing it but I'm thinking that would give him two key fobs, so what I'm thinking is find an original...

    airbag system issue- light on

    Hey guys, on my 08 Grand Prix I have an issue with the airbag system. To start out the light is on. One thing I notice though is when I bought the car if someone sat in the passenger seat the light on the dash would go to "on" and would chime unless the seatbelt was buckled. It no longer does...

    Jumpy RPMs when accelerating.

    I am not sure what is causing my issue but it is annoying as all can be. When I am trying to accelerate I notice that when the car shifts & trys to go faster the RPMs will will randomly jump around, then be fine. It doesn't feel like the transmission is slipping but I don't know what it is doing...
