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

    Sudden Drop in Power and MPG

    A few weeks ago, I changed the plugs and wires and serviced the air filter on my 2001 GP GT (209,000 miles) and got a noticeable drop in power and lost 3 mpg for my troubles. I could use some help. I noticed the change immediately. The SES light is not on and there are no codes. There have been...

    Vogtland Springs Will Not Lower Your Grand Prix

    Vogland springs claim a drop of 1.3" over stock and while there may be some drop from "new" stock springs, my own experience was a zero (0") change in ride height. To be fair, my Grand Prix had 202,000 miles and there's a good chance that the original springs may have provided an inch of drop. I...

    2001 Grand Prix GT coupe at 200,000 plus miles

    Below are photos of my 2001 GT coupe, taken this April (2014). The odometer shot was taken in May. It is still my daily driver, still gets great gas mileage and starts right up like a new car. To date, I've only had to make a few major repairs, replaced the upper and lower intake manifold...

    I had to replace the Rack & Pinion assembly on my 01 GP GT

    I was experiencing steering fluid loss which turned out to be a worn rack & pinion on my 01 Grand Prix GT (196K+ miles). Fluid was dripping from the boots on both sides, I was adding fluid once a week and it was making a mess on the driveway. Time to fix or replace. Repairing the unit is more...

    Air Conditioner issue: Evaporator Tube Assembly needs to be replaced.

    The high-pressure valve on the air conditioner of my 01 Grand Prix started leaking and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately the Schrader valve is not replaceable on the high-pressure side. The entire Evaporator Tube Assembly must be replaced. I got the part (Amazon) and started to disassemble...

    2001 Grand Prix GT in Kennesaw, GA

    This is my 2001 Grand Prix GT. I bought this car new in August of 2001. It is my third Grand Prix. Before, I owned a silver 1999 GT-2 door and a green 1996 SE 2-door. I also bought 2 Solstice roadsters. If they had kept making the 2-door Grand Prix, I would have kept buying them. Hell, they...

    Follow Up to L36 to L26 UIM mod

    This is a follow up to my post Questions about swapping a L36 plastic UIM to L26 alloy. I've gone through 4 different plumbing configurations for the PCV air inlet (on top left of UIM). The first one was a total bust, didn't work correctly. The second one worked briefly but the parts I used...

    Quota questions

    Can someone tell me the secret to the upload quota? I've looked around and can find no clue. I tried to attach photos to my posts and it's not at all clear. There was only a "file types" guide, but no quota or files size instructions. After successfully posting one photo (339 K), I haven't been...

    UIM swap L36 plastic to L26 alloy questions

    Has anyone successfully swapped the UIM on their L36 to a alloy L26 UIM? I have a 01 GT with 175,000 miles and the upper and lower manifolds are leaking. I already had to replace the elbows some time back, now this. I'm done with plastic engine parts. I'm getting the aluminum elbows from ZZP and...

    Hello from Kennesaw

    I'm on my third Grand Prix (01 purchased new 8-01)—guess that makes me an enthusiast. It's been my DD since I traded my 99 GT in for it. If I ever wear this one out, I'll replace it with another Pontiac. Prior to GPs I've owned 5 Alfa Romeos, 2 MGs and assorted boring cars. I like what I see on...
