• 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.

    Which other front sway bars will fit 98 Grand Prix

    My front sway bar just snapped on my 98 grand prix se. The car has 201,000 miles and a rebuilt title, so I don't want to spend a lot on a new one. Which means I'll probably be getting one from a junk yard. I called around and there aren't too many sixth generation grand prixs around here. So...

    Bad rear 02 sensor and random misfires. Can runs just fine.

    My check engine light has been going on and off for a couple of months now. I had it scanned and I have code P0300 and P0141. Random cylinder misfire and Oxygen sensor #2. Could one of these be causing the other? One other thing... The light usually comes on when I'm full throttle. If I...

    Best mods for a stock SSEI Bonnie.

    I have a friend with a bone stock 1997 Bonneville SSEI and he wants to put a little bit of money into it. He knows nothing about cars, thus the reason that I am making the topic. Plus, I already have an account. After talking things over with him, he's got around 500 dollars to spend. The...

    Service Engine Soon P0140 P0118 P0113

    Sorry to repost this, but I waited two days in the other section and nobody replied. This morning when I started the car, my check engine light came on. I got it scanned on the way home from school, and they pulled three codes. P0140 - o2 sensor P0118 - Coolant temp sensor P0113 - IAT sensor...

    Has a really hard time starting when engine is hot

    Yesterday I ran into a gas station to buy some food and when I came out the car wouldn't start. I called a family member to arrange a ride, but then about ten minutes after I first tried I decided to try and start it again. It took it a few seconds to start, and it struggle for a few seconds...

    Have a small amount of cash. DP, HV3, or PLOG?

    Just as the title says. I am looking to spend about $250, and want to know which of those is the best bang for your buck. I know that 250 aint much, but it's not worth it to sink anymore into it. Other than this, it is 100% stock. I also appreciate people suggesting other items that fit...

    Temperature Problems

    Sorry for yet another topic like this, but it's easier to get help in my own then in someone elses. For about a month the car has had an issue where the temperature would creep up at both stop lights and lower speeds. First thing I replaced was the thermostat with another 195*. This did...

    Fog lights don't work

    The fog lights on my 98 SE do not work. The bulbs are fine, and the fuses are fine, but they just don't turn on. The next thing I tryed to check is a relay in the under the hood fuse box that is labeled as fog lights, but when I went to auto zone to get a replacement they said that they didn't...

    Valve cover gaskets

    Both of my valve cover gaskets are leaking, so this Saturday I am going to try and replace them. I am pretty car savvy, but I have never done anything like this before, so I want to ask lots of questions before I jump right in. For the front: Remove dogbones Remove coil pack bracket. Remove...

    Air Bag Light code:B1015. Any tips?

    My airbag light started coming on about a month ago. At first, it was only on about one out of every five times I started the car, but now it is on almost everytime. I had it scanned, and they said it was a code B1015 which means Passenger side deployment loop resistance high. Is there...

    A couple of weeks ago, I changed the o2 sensor and pcv valve on my car. (98 grand prix se, 3.8l n/a, 191,000 miles) Before this, I was getting about 19.5 miles to the gallon. I filled up yesterday, and I am getting 16.5 miles to the gallon. I reset my trip odometer every time I buy gas, and...

    I heard about this from a friend, and decided to do some research. I typed it into google and their are tons of stories of people who got improved gas mileage. I just wanted to know if anyone here had ever tried this.
