Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    starts, stalls, starts again and runs fine?

    This issue has persisted since I've owned the car and it's intermittent. The car will sometimes start and run just fine the first time. Other times it will start, rpms will hop up and down a split second and smooth out, and sometimes it will just flat out start, then stall, then start up and...

    Does the high pressure port unscrew from the line or do I need to replace the entire line? Can I use a valve core remover tool? Does auto zone have this?

    02 Grand Prix ac issue?

    203k miles. Ok so I bought the car 2 years ago and the ac never worked. I discovered it was because there was no refrigerant in the system. So 3-4 weeks ago I pulled a vac for an hour and held it for an hour and it didn't drop. At that point I recharged the system with 32 ounces. I used a 20...

    Anyone ever have a fuel injector connector that sticks?

    I think it's cylinder 6 that is sticking. I pulled the blue clip up and pressed the tab with a pick. The connector will not disconnect. I removed this connector a week ago and it was sticking. Somehow I moved it a certain way and it disconnected.
