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

    Broke Spring

    I broke a front Strut Spring today on my 02 GP GT. My car has always squatted a little in the rear, compared to the front. I found a set of lowering springs on ebay that I was considering doing on both fronts. Says it will drop the front 1.7 inches. Will I have tire rub issues with stock...

    02 Grand Prix Rough Idle

    My GP just started idling/missing badly this morning. I have had a catalyst code for the last couple months. The SES light just went off last night and now idling rough. Not sure if it is catalyst related or not. Here are some videos of it. When I rev it up, it runs smooth as normal...

    Windshield Washer not working

    Bad time of the year for my squirters to quit, but here it is! I took my wheel liner down, pulled the plug and put a volt meter on and determined it isn't getting any power when I hit the switch, so I am leaning toward a good pump. When I hit the switch though, the wipers take off and do 4 or 5...

    4-5k rpm misfire, Code P0300.

    This actually started a few months ago after driving through some puddles just after a heavy rain. Would idle just fine and drive at low rpm (under 4k)just fine. If I get into the throttle it will misfire at about 4,000 - 5,000 rpms. wrote it off as a coil getting wet or something related to...

    No Power Steering?

    I have recently replaced my power steering rack and pump. After the rack replacement, I had great steering for a couple days, then it went to great 50% of the time so I thought it was the pump. Replaced the pump/reservoir and now I have no power steering at all. Thoughts?

    power steering ?

    I just replaced my power steering rack because the seals were shot and leaking like a sieve. I flushed the system well before sealing everything up and it worked great for my first couple trips then all of a sudden started working only half the time. Fluid level is where it should be, any...

    CV shaft problem

    I am replacing my cv shafts. Drivers side went just fine. The shaft pulled right off. Doing the passenger side however, the inner joint of the shaft pulled out of the housing. When I try to pull the housing off, the entire shaft starts to slide out of the transmission, with the housing...

    GP Dead

    I just jumped in my car after work, turned the key on to start, just started to turn over and everything instantly went dead. I checked the main fuse and it is good. Any ideas?

    Power Steering Leak

    I have a pretty good power steering leak that I can't pinpoint. Are there any common leak points for the PS on an 02 GP?

    New Hub, ABS Light Still!?!

    Had the ABS light coming on. Had the ABS codes scanned and had a C0040 and a C0245. I replaced the right front hub this weekend and my ABS/trac control light was still on. Wires from the sensor look fine. I disconnected the battery for 36 hours. Reconnected this morning and it is still on...

    ABS/Trac Off Lights on

    My ABS and Traction control off light came on the other day and now comes on nearly everytime I drive it. Has my ABS module gone bad? Any other common things cause this?

    Clunk when coming to stop and/or accelerating

    I have an annoying clunk when I start braking. Doesn't do it all the time, but most of the time. Also happens sometimes when I am starting to accelerate. Sounds and feels like it is coming from the front somewhere. I just replaced the upper motor mount bushings and the lower engine mount...

    Motor Mounts

    I am pretty sure my motor mounts are worn. I can move the engine 3/4"-1" forward and backward. I found some upper, left and right struts (dog Bones) from Autozone but they don't list the supports that the dog bones attach too. What is the proper name for these? Can just the rubber be bought...
