    LED lights and cruise control quit.

    I have been adding LEDs all over in my car and lost cruise control functionality. I understand it is because the LED is a diode and either doesn't complete the circuit or show enough voltage drop. I am looking for any neat solutions without going back to incandescent bulbs. I started out with...

    Boost control solenoid filter

    The little foam filter on my boost control solenoid is falling apart and not filtering anything. Can anybody explain how the solenoid works internally? I want to make sure this is an exhaust/vent port. Is it sealed internally in such a way that dirt will not get sucked in the system? I am...

    Engine Support for Transmission Swap

    Alright I have seen the how to write ups found from searches. However none of the photos work due to photobucket BS. Any body have pics of their home made engine supports? Was hoping to see what bill boost made out of a 4x4. I bought a harbor freight Pittsburgh engine support bar but I don't...

    Squeaking Pulley

    Alright I am into this with a new tensioner pulley and a new alternator with no changes. I got a stethoscope and can't really isolate anything except that its cyclic and high pitched in the area of the tensioner on the main belt. Take belt off no noise. Take supercharger belt off same noise. The...

    Lost 4th gear-lots of questions

    Alright I just got my new used motor swapped into my car last weekend. Over the last few days have been taking a few 20 to 30 mile drives to town and back figuring out and fixing issues. On one of the trips I heards a whirring whiny noise that sounded like it was in the trans. Nothing unusual...

    Fogs with High beams

    2002 gtp I recently got some hella optilux angel eyes and modded them and some spare fog brackets to fit correctly. I tried the fog relay mod by clipping off pin 85 from relay 17 and soldering a wire to it and pin 86 on relay 11. I also performed the drl disable mod (I am getting hid...

    Engine problem

    2002 gtp 109000 miles. I'm sitting stranded waiting for a ride 200 miles from home thought I would ask a few questions. I was nearly halfway along on a road trip 65 mph climbing a hill and heard a light rattle. It wasn't pinging more like plastic rubbing on something. I shifted into...

    Would you pay over book for a nice GTP

    Been looking for a 98-03 GTP sedan with close to 100k or less to replace my 97 SE 3800 looking off and on for years for a low mileage specimen. Everytime I find a nice one its too much for a bank loan to cover because of NADA book value and the dealer/seller won't budge enough on price...

    Headlight Switch Smoking

    I have smoke intermittently coming from my headlight switch. The problem started early this morning when I drove to work with headlights on. Something I believe is a coincidence but worth mentioning is that I recently installed HID headlights with relay harness and HID fog light bulbs...

    VVME Bi-Xenon HID Upgrade kit-no high low beam difference

    I just bought and installed a VVME.com bi-xenon hid upgrade kit for headlights with relay kit and a fog lamp hid kit. I see no difference when switching from low beams to high beams. My hi beam indicator stays faintly dim on low beams. When I switch to high beam my fogs turn off like normal...
