    Developed a blinking oil pressure guage.

    Shortly before i got the new car i was still driving around in the 97 Grand Prix. It was shortly after i had had that whole upper/lower intake gasket replacement. I had taken the car to Big Als to have the oil changed because the guy that did the gaskets never got around to it. And of course...

    The issues just keep rolling in.....

    All i can do is laugh at how many issues are starting to occur on the car. Get one thing fixed and three more pop up. I really should take a grenade to it. Anyway this might not be much of an issue but who knows. The car just had an oil change and this is right after the upper/lower gasket...

    Now i find myself looking at another Prix.

    Ive recently gotten my 97 grandprix back in at least decent running order. However now i find myself looking at what i think is a better prix. It is an 02 grandprix gt,black,sunroof,new tires. This car is in really good working order, it was owned by an elderly gentleman and has 150000 miles...

    Im so over this car!!

    Ok i think this is the final straw. Ive just spent so much money supposedly trying to make this car run better only to run into problem after problem. The Upper and Lower Intakes were recently replaced. The car had not been running for like two weeks,until I had the fuel pump replaced with a new...

    I need a cheap fuel pump i can get fast

    After all the work ive had done on this car it still will not start. When it would first not start my mechanic friend said he believed it was the fuel pump. We replaced it with a junk yard pump. This pump appeared to be in great shape and my mechanic friend says he has picked 100s of junk yard...

    Please tell me this is NOT the access door to the fuel pump!!

    The reason i say this is because i found this after advice from members here and reading a how to about changing the fuel pump. I dont trust myself to do this replacement so i hired a mobile mechanic. He insists that the only way i can get to the fuel pump is to take out the whole back seat or...

    If the fuel pump is working.......

    will it be loud enough for me to hear if i have my head in the trunk? My car died out yesterday(ironically just put a much needed fuel filter on). I personally couldnt hear it when i was in the drivers seat. Friend told me that if i put my head in the trunk and have someone turn the key i should...

    sorry,another crankposition sensor question...

    I am just about ready to have the crankposition sensor replaced however i am really confused. The people i have doing the work are basic garage mechanics. They say the replacement is no problem. I asked them about the need to do an ENGINE CASE LEARN. I read many articles specifying that this is...

    whats the big difference in crankshaft sensors other than price?

    Im getting ready to go pick one up at ADVANCE. The price ranges for bwd and delphi at around $34 and the high end AC DELCO at $52. Any reason the cheaper ones would be a problem?
