• 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.

    97 GTP, noticed that the nipple for the vacuum line on the supercharger bypass actuator coming from supercharger bypass solenoid is broken off. Anyone know where to get a replacement? Part #?

    Transmission Cooling Lines Leaking at Radiator?

    Hey there everyone. I had an unfortunate accident this morning. I was jacking the front end up of my 97 GTP to bleed the air out of my cooling system. I was using the front cross brace, and the car slipped off the jack. The jack ended up catching the transmission cooling lines, and it began...

    P0341

    Pulled code "P0341" from a bluetooth dongle that hooks up to the OBD II port through my phone using the Torque App. Any good write-up on checking/replacing the cam sensor? What do I try next? Any suggestions?

    Engine Miss? (Low power, lots of vibration, "blub blub" noise from exhaust)

    1997 GTP 4 Door, ~225k miles I noticed coming of the interstate off ramp yesterday at a red light that my car was shaking quite noticeably and emitting a "blub blub blub" noise from the exhaust. As I accelerated from the light, it seemed down on power to me. I am uploading a video to Youtube...

    Engine Code Still On After Replacing Crankshaft Position Sensor

    I had trouble with my 97 GTP stalling and generally running like crap. Engine light came on and Autozone read it for the Crankshaft Position Sensor. After a lengthy battle, I finally had installed a new one and within a week the light came back on. I had Autozone and Advanced both read it again...

    ABS and Parking Break Light On, and Key Sticks in Ignition

    Lately my ABS and parking break lights have been coming on intermittently. When this happens, I lose power steering. Any ideas? Also, the key sometimes sticks in the ignition and I have to press the button under the steering column to pop it out. Again, any ideas?

    WTB 97-03 Door Panels

    I need both front door panels (driver's and passenger's side) to fit a 97 GTP four door in the charcoal color. Please respond if you have a pair for sale or know where I might be able to find them online. I've checked my local junk yards and so far they have all been badly worn or the arm...

    Issues with coolant flush

    I've been battling a badly corroded/dexcool sludged coolant system. Last night I replaced my accessory tensioner and thought I would flush my coolant system while I was at it. I removed the thermostat that was stuck open anyway and began the flush. I backflushed the system until the water ran...

    1997 GTP Speaker Wire Polarity

    I have a 1997 GTP four door with the 8 speaker non-Bose (Delco?) system and I need the colors for the polarity of the rear 6x9 speakers. I am going to just delete the 4" rounds, and just replace the 6x9's with a budget pair of Pyle 4 ways (yes, I am poor). The problem I am having is every...

    Need help diagnosing a few issues.

    I have a 1997 GTP Sedan with ~198k on it. Earlier this week it started throwing a "low oil" light on the dash. I checked the oil level, and it looks fine to me. I'm assuming there is a sensor somewhere that is going bad. Where is it located, and should I check it (how) or just go ahead and...

    Help Diagnosing Power Steering Issue

    Over the last few weeks, my power steering is having some issues. It is intermittent, more off than on, but it responds directly to throttle. If I put in in neutral and try to turn the wheel, its all muscle. If I rev on the engine a little, it works a lot better. I'm assuming the pump is on the...

    SOS to GP Owners in the Birmingham Area

    As some of you know from my thread and through the chat, my 97 GTP is in big trouble. From the looks (sounds?) of it I have spun a rod bearing and am now faced with a dilemma. I am not all that mechanically inclined (but willing to learn), and it looks like a motor swap is my best bet. I am...

    So, how much trouble am I in?

    Was driving around tonight and suddenly the car felt and sounded like it was missing. Drove it home and on the way my check engine light came on, and the red oil light would come and go intermittently. I brought it home to take a video of the noise, and now I've got this knocking noise. The...

    Two Problems: Rusted Radiator and No AC

    I purchased a '97 GTP Sedan a months ago with about 194K miles. I kept getting an intermittent "low coolant light" last week (though it wasn't running hot). I popped the overflow bottle open to find it full of brown "gunk". I drained to coolant system and could see from looking down the top of...
