• 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.

    Is the 3100 engine ****?

    From what I'm seeing around here I'm kind of getting that impression. I'm thinking about buying an older 95 or 96 GP with the 3100 in it because they're pretty cheap on Craigslist and I just kind of want a cheap car from now until I graduate in a couple years. I don't mind doing work on it every...

    Replacing EGR Valve?

    How difficult is it to do this? I sold my Grand Prix GT a while back but now I'm thinking about buying a GTP I found on Craigslist because it seems to be a good deal. Just needs a new EGR valve.

    Tie Rod End Replacement

    Anyone have some general instructions on how to replace the front driver's side tie rod end? I've replaced the CV axle, struts, wheel hub/bearing and brakes. Never touched one of these though and I'm not exactly sure how it goes.

    Pair of Front Struts/Springs

    Brand new, one is in the box the other isn't. $100 shipped to you. They're just taking up space in my garage and I don't have the time/patience to replace them as I am selling my car soon.

    Weird Electrical Issues

    I have a 2002 Grand Prix GT and I have a really weird issue. This happened before but resolved itself within 24 hours but this has been lasting for a couple days. The interior lights don't work when the doors open, not even at night or when the manual switch is used. The radio doesn't work but...

    Buying LED Tail Lights

    I don't care if they're old or new as long as they aren't too banged up. I want the smoke ones or the red smoke ones, name your price.

    Valve Cover Gasket Leak

    My car is definitely leaking oil, I'm thinking it's the valve cover gasket because since I bought it you can sometimes smell burning oil after opening the hood when the car has been running. Since it's a fairly simple thing to do and cheap I was thinking I'd start with that anyways. Besides the...

    New Front Fender

    There is a somewhat large dent in my front-driver's side fender. I believe someone kicked it or somehow bumped it because there is no paint transfer or scratch. I was wondering if I should pull it out and try and lightly tap it out or put a new one on it. I have a paint gun and some leftover...

    Power Windows/Locks Won't Work

    I have a 2002 GP GT and my power windows, locks and sunroof won't work. Checked all the fuses and they're all fine, not sure what else it could be. Couldn't even find anything online for it, anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Rough Idle Etc. Problem

    I've had multiple problems with my car that I believe are all connected. I think I have it narrowed down to two possibilities so I thought I'd ask you guys and see which one you think it is or if it is something different. My car has a rough idle, sometimes RPMs surge while sitting there but it...

    Changing Headers

    How much more power will this add to your car if you switch to aftermarket ones and what brand would you recommend?

    TPS Out

    My car has been revving kind of high before shifting at times. It almost always happens when I'm pulling away from a dead stop but it will also shift kind of roughly while I'm driving at faster speeds although this is less common. One single time it wouldn't go at all even allowing the car to...

    Problems with Driver Information Center

    My driver information center on my 02 GP GT is the one with the four settings. MPG, oil life, range and fuel used. The oil life and fuel used work just fine. However the MPG and range just read 0 and don't change even after resetting, filling up the fuel tank, etc. I unplugged it and blew into...
