• 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.

    Water pump replacement

    It looks like my water pump is weeping through the weep hole, so it's replacement time. I looked through the how-to forum to see if there was a thread on this, but didn't see any. I'm guessing it's pretty straight forward, but if anyone has a link to a write-up, or tips/tricks, that would be...

    Goofy downshifting, particularly when cold

    '04 GT non-S/C. This has been gradually getting worse. When the transmission is cold, it upshifts/downshifts fine. When it warms up, it tends to upshift very slowly on light throttle, and, when you're at a lower RPM in a gear and hit the gas a bit and it downshifts, it takes a very long...

    Cannot get my damn fuel injectors to seat

    I am currently reassembling after replacing the LIM gaskets. The only thing that I can't get are the damn injectors to seat. I have new o-rings (destroyed the old ones taking them off) and they just won't seat. I've coated the rings with oil, smeared oil in the holes, tapped firmly on the...

    LIM gasket replacement how-to

    I picked up my gasket kit and assorted other goodies to do this job this weekend ('04 GT2). I've been looking around for a while for a good how-to on this, and haven't found much. I did find a video, but would really like a written one if one exists. Does anyone know of one? I know it's been...

    Sunroof only moves a fraction of an inch per press

    2004 GT2. This has happened intermittently all summer, but now that it's cooling off it's constant. When I open the sunroof or close it, it only moves 1/2" to " per press of the switch. I'm not really sure what to check for this issue. It clicks and moves then clicks and stops. The switch...

    Knock retard on a NA

    This is just curiosity (since I think it's normal). I recently got a bluetooth OBD2 connector and the torque app on my phone. Cruising on the highway, typically KR was 0, but periodically it would hop up to 2-3* (the highest I saw was 5.7*). This would be when going up a hill typically. I...

    Whoops. ATF+4.

    My transmission fluid level was a little low. I grabbed a bottle of ATF fluid off of my shelf o' oils and topped it off (a little over a half quart). As I was disposing of the bottle, I realized that it was ATF+4. Is the pint of this I put in there going to pooch the transmission if I drive...

    A/C questions

    I have a 2004 GP GT2. How much refrigerant does the A/C hold? I need to top it off (not cooling all that well and the compressor doesn't shut off). There don't appear to be any leaks (has UV dye in it and the only place there is any is where it got on the valve on the low pressure side) so I...

    Headlight fixin'

    My '04 (That I just got) has 91k on it. There are a bunch of scratches and pits on the heatlights, and they drive me nuts. I bought this to try: Amazon.com: 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System: Automotive I know it doesn't come with any protectant, but I have that covered. Will this make...

    Weird starting issues

    I just bought an 04 GP GT. Almost immediately after I signed the papers, it started having starting issues. What it does is spin the motor just fine with the starter, but just fire a little and miss then die. If I hit the throttle at just the right time, it'll start. I thought maybe the...
