    Quick power steering question

    I need to change the rack in my 2000 GTP. My car's steering specs are "Variable-Effort Power Rack & Pinion". Does this mean I have magnasteer? I don't want to buy the wrong rack! Thanks!

    Hi guys! I have a 2000 GTP. I'm replacing the power steering rack lines and taking out the rack to work on it. Does anyone have any tips/advice for removing the rack? I've never done it. I have done a lot of work myself to the car and am pretty good mechanically. I have the procedure from...

    A few issues trying to get my GTP back on the road

    Hello everyone! I have a 2000 GTP. I have 2 issues. #1 The power steering line broke. It's the line that goes from the rack to the rack. It looks about the size of brake line and not the size of the return line or high pressure line and it's not a long line either. There's not a lot of room to...

    Need to do some major engine work....

    It all started when my 2000 GTP was running rough, had a smell of gas from the engine and had no power. I hooked up the scanner and sure enough: P0300 - P0171 - P0102 - P0452 were the codes I got. I gutted my cat a week ago because of the same symptoms and the car worked fine for a week, then...

    Heater blower control mudle

    Well, I'm only getting the fan at high speed and the temp doesn't seem to work no matter how high I put it up or down. Worst of all, I'm getting very little heat. My engine temperature is normal, coolant is good and I have no coolant light or anything. I'm guessing it's the heater blower...

    ABS & TCS light

    I changed both front wheel bearings. What else should I check besides the fuse and connectors? I have a 2000 GTP. Just wondering if there's anything else I need to look at; that these cars might be known for.

    Front-end shake

    This is driving me nuts! I've checked everything and it all seems tight! When I am driving around 90kph (50mph) I have a horrible shake in the front end. I feel it on the floor beneath my feet, and in the steering wheel. I feel it more when I hit the gas or going uphill. I have replaced both my...

    Flasing Check Engine light

    Hey all. It's only happened twice. I floor it accellerating on the highway and the check engine light flashes for a minute. Then it goes out and everything is normal. It sputters too when I was flooring it. My code scanner only reads codes that are current. Now, I'm wondering if it could be...
