• 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.

Background: last week I was having a hard time getting the car to start, it would make an awful squelching noise and it would stutter but would eventually start.

    VSS replacement still throws P0502 and P0503

    Well guys and gals, what am I looking at now? I was experiencing hard shifts and the speedometer dropping and then popping back up while driving. This happened at all speeds. I checked my Aeroforce for the codes and it was showing P0502 and P0503. Those are both related to the VSS. I spent the...

    Passenger wheel and wheel area hot and smeels of hot metal

    On my way home from work tonight I noticed that when I left off the gas to coast my car was slowing faster than usual. It would make a light squeaking noise occasionally, and there was some vibration in the steering wheel. When I got closer to home I started smelling a hot metal smell coming...

    Monte's been sitting for 2 years. Can it be saved?

    My old Monte Carlo has been sitting at my parent's house for the past two years. My brother wants to get it running again because his car is is starting to fail fast.

    Start of a project. Double DIN in my 01 GTP

My goal is to retain the stock look as much as possible, much like the double d mods version that is available but way overpriced. I started off by determining what type of...

    A/C Troubleshooting

    First of all, apologies if this was addressed in another thread. I looked at several of the other posts about A/C not working but none exactly match my problem. Let's start with some basic info. I have a 2001 GTP. It has dual climate controls. This setup...

    Hello Hello

    I came across this site while searching for a 'how-to' and figured it could only be helpful to have a whole community of GP owners to draw knowledge from. I somewhat recently bought a 01 Grand Prix GTP with 78,xxx miles on it. My 99 Monte Carlo Z34 was needing more $$ for repairs than what I...

    SC Idler Pulley Melted

    Sorry if this is a repost, (new here and haven't done my intro, this seemed a bit more urgent) I found a couple threads about the tensioner, but I didn't see anything on the idler. As the title states, my idler pulley melted and the belt was destroyed. I went to my local Autozone and bought a...
