• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Used 97

    I know the used car market is crazy but $16k for a 97 GTP!? It appears to be in nice shape but still, ouch. Wonder what the underside looks like? lol Autotrader - page unavailable

    AC not taking refrigerant

    The AC is not blowing cold air and the compressor isn't kicking on due to the low refrigerant. It is definitely low and when I put on one of those charge bottles nothing goes into the system. There is a pressure sound when I remove the bottle so there is some pressure in the system. What...

    LED headlights

    Looking to upgrade the headlights on my 97 as the light output is abysmal at best on a sunny day. ;) This website has bulb kits to upgrade to LED's. Are any of these good and is it worthwhile? If not what other options are out there? I want something I can just plug in and go whether it's a...

    Which refrigerant?

    I was looking in the manual and under the hood but could not find which refrigerant my '97 uses. Can anyone help me out? Hopefully its the 134a. Can't find any r-15.

    Fuel pump or sending unit?

    Am I missing something when looking at fuel pumps and sending units? On Rock Auto the sending unit is just about as expensive as the entire fuel pump assembly. Why would I buy the sending unit over the assembly? This is for my 97 GT. I'm trying to fix the variable level gas gauge feature to...

    Leaking PS fluid

    As the title states, I'm leaking power steering fluid and it's more than a drip. Problem is I can't tell where it's coming from. I cleaned off the whole area with brake fluid and nothing leaks when the engine is running. I even turned the wheel multiple times and no drips. However, in the...

    Anyone want to take a stab at this?

    So I'm at work today and I get a message that the car battery is messed up. :th_laugh-lol2: I ask how does a car battery get messed up? He says it felt like the battery was shaking and the battery light was blinking on and off. I should tell him to lay off the drugs but he doesn't do drugs...

    Looking for another car

    As the title states I am at the beginning process of looking for another car to replace the high mileage car my kid drives to work everyday. Just broke 202k. I know a lot of you will say that is just getting broke in, but for me that is starting to live on the edge of reliability. Inspection...

    Brake bleeding

    I know this isn't gp related but I am almost at my last resort. I went to bleed the brakes on my 08 Silverado because it's never been done and there's 114k miles on it. The rear brakes bleed just fine. Moving to the fronts I started the bleed procedure and then started getting air. I thought...

    Thumping noise

    My kid was telling me his car is making an awful thumping noise. He claims it only happens when coasting. Not under acceleration or braking and less when turning. Looking for suggestions on what to look for when he gets home tonight.

    Overheating

    My 05 is overheating lately. It has been really hot here lately so I didn’t think much of it. The temp gauge would get to the red line but never get into the red until tonight. I’m thinking thermostat?

    E Brake

    I am having an issue with the e brake. Symptom: Pushing the e-brake pedal all the way to the floor and it won't grab. What I did so far: tightened up the cable under the rear of the car. (Helped a little and now the pedal only pushes about 4 inches or so) Replaced almost worn out pads...

    05 rear window broken

    The rear window on my 05 will not go up or down. It will go up and down by manually lifting but will not go all the way up. When using the switch the motor makes a sound but it sounds strained. Can someone give me some guidance on how to get the window working again?

    Catalytic rattling?

    Does or can a catalytic converter rattle when it's going bad? It sounds like a loose heat shield and only happens under light acceleration up to 2k rpm's. I can't find anything loose under the car. The car isn't suffering from any of the usual performance issues when a cat goes bad and there...

    Multiple ABS codes

    I finally found the site again! I couldn't log in using my old info so I had to create another one. My current issue is with the ABS system. The ABS lights are always on. The brake warning light will go on and reset when I turn the car off. I scanned the car and found 5 codes. This is...
