• 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.

    Door handle removal

    I need to get all four door handles removed so that I can paint. I have had the front passenger handle off in the past but I am working on the front drivers side handle. I have one clip open but there does not appear to be a second. Can anyone shed some light or provide some pointers? Thanks.

    Suspension Suggestions

    I've broken a spring which gives me an opportunity to upgrade. As much as is live to install a set of adjustable coil overs, that's just not in the budget unless someone has a set they're ready to part with. Can I just put in a set of lowering springs without getting too far into it? I mean...

    Unknown Vacuum Line

    Okay, I just can't seem to figure this out. What is this vacuum line for? It just runs along the firewall, around the strut mount, down by the fuse/breaker box then disappears. 2024-05-11-09-44-37-20240510-201715-jpg-Irfan-View-Zoom-1373-x-1030 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB...

    I'm looking for a good pair of SS headers. Nothing from Ebay, think ZZP, SLP, etc. Thanks.

    2001 Grand Prix Sedan - Exterior Passenger Door Removal

    Simply put, how the heck do you get the thing off? The bolts are easy enough to remove but I simply can't figure out how to disconnect the rods to get the handle out. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

    Pulsing acceleration intermittently. Is this a bad TCC??

    I've read a number of discussions and articles that suggest that the problem I'm having is caused by a bad TCC solenoid. The symptoms most often include pulsing under light load. I get this under light load and just after a shift up or down. It doesn't happen every time. Actually, it used to...

    15 Spoke Rims

    Hey All. I'm in the market for replacement rims for my 01 Grand Prix GTP SE and would like to keep the originals. The valve stem holes are elongated and it's almost impossible to get them to hold air. Does anyone have a set they're willing to part with? Thanks

    Purge Valve Electrical Conundrum

    I'm working through a P0440 issue that I've been putting up with for a couple of years. I'm finally tired enough of clearing the code to solve the problem. I've already confirmed that the pressure sensor is good. I've smoked it and replaced the gas cap due to a small amount of smoke that...

    Dirty LIM gasket change

    Good day folks, I am in the process of changing the LIM gasket on a vehicle that's just plain dirty. I'm in northern Ontario where they battle ice on the roads with 4 things: sand, salt, more sand, and a bit more salt. To battle the salt, we use undercoating. The result is that the engine...

    PRNDL Weirdness

    Hey, So i've been experiencing what i've learned is a common problem where the ignition won't turn back far enough to get the key out. Rather than just pull the solenoid as many have mentioned i figured i'd pull apart the center console to see if there was a bad connection. No bad...

    '01 GTP - Resonator and Muffler shot - now's my chance for an upgrade :) Suggestions

    Hey All, Okay, so i know the '01's a bit old to toss cash at but it's in primo condition and is just plain fun to drive. As suggested the resonator and one of the mufflers are done so i've gotta replace them. I figure now's a good time to toss some headers on as well but i'm looking for...

    Flickering DIC

    Hey guys, Not only do i have a flickering HUD (which i've found the repair instructions for - thanks) but the DIC is also flickering. They don't flicker at the same time so i'm sure that the problems are not related. I figure that i must have another loose connection on the DIC but the...

    Stock Bose Stereo Replacement

    Hey all, I'm simply tired of having to burn CD's of my iTunes collection and want to replace the stereo head with something that will support MP3's and iPod connection but don't want to bugger up the look of the console. I'm looking for suggestions. I'm not an audiophile per se but i want...

    Champion E3013 Plugs

    Hey all, i'm going to slowly work my way through the "safely modding your 3800..." sticky and wonder if i buggered it up all ready. I just identified that my plug wires are failing so i picked up some new ones from Summit and while i was at it ordered the Champion plugs. Does anyone care to...

    2001 Grand Prix GTP Sputters when cold.

    i have a 2001 Grand Prix GTP that has started sputtering during acceleration when its cold (first thing in the morning or after a day of not running). after running for about 20 minutes and the temp is around 85 degrees then it performs as expected. What could be causing this? My check engine...
