    Mystery missfire & oil leak

    97gtp 65k miles. First the missfire: Only happens at idle and only missfires about once every 5 seconds (hear a slight pop from the exhaust) otherwise runs perfect. No engine light changed plugs, wires coils are newer msd coils, but were swapped with known good coils to test (from another 97 gtp...

    My 2 (3) 97 gtps

    Kind of funny how things work out. Back in 2006 i bought a black 97 gtp which i had till 2009. Fast forward to 2014 just by chance i was in the market for a car and i see a red 97 gtp with 40k miles on it for 4000 so i picked it up. Still have it today, but its been passed over to my father...

    cold start issue

    97 gtp 70k miles. On cold starts or if the car sits longer then 30 minutes after being driven it cranks for at least 5 full seconds before it starts, it used to fire up with the tap of the key. I tested the fuel pressure with the key on engine off, the pressure goes up to about 50 while the pump...

    My tail lights on my 97 gtp coupe are in need of replacing, I order some spyder led tail lights. Everyone seems to like them and they look pretty good, however I wasn't able to get them to fit on my car the body of the tail light hits the body of the car before the tail light goes in all the...

    Long time to start

    My 97 gtp with 50k miles is taking longer to start then it used to. It used to just start at the tap of the key now it takes like 5 seconds of cranking to start it. I read that its common for the throttle body to carbon up on the 3800 and that cleaning it usually solves it, However I also read...

    FWI install nightmare

    I wasn't planning on getting an intake but since zzp has their black Friday sale I snagged a FWI at 50% off. I already knew before I bought it there would have to be some slight modifications to get it to fit. Well after spending more time then I care to mention trimming the pipe about 2 inches...

    Plog Heat Shield

    I just installed the plog. Im not to comfortable with how close it is to the edge of the a/c compressor (about 2mm clearance) I cut the corner off of the stock heat shield and squeezed it in there. The heatshield and a/c compressor do contact each other. Do you guys think its better this way or...

    PCV valve ?s

    I changed out the pcv valve in my 97 gtp today. I used the correct oem replacement part #CV892C. I noticed there was no rubber o ring anywhere on the outside of the valve or in the hole where the pcv valve goes into and I read on other threads that people do have an o-ring there. I believe the...

    Downpipe noise

    I just installed a 3 inch catless downpipe on my 97 gtp. It seems to run a little better under heavy throttle. I installed new gaskets as well. There is a hissing sound that is similar to a small exhaust leak coming from the downpipe but there is definitely no exhaust leak. The more of a load...

    gt shifter assembly in a gtp

    I have a few cosmetic issues with my shifter on my gtp that are an eyesore (some melted plastic on the gear shifter display and the shift lock button is broke off). I found a new oem shifter assembly (the whole rectangle shape assembly with the shifter display/trim, shift knob and boot) for a...

    Im debating whether or not to buy an intake and if I do I decided on the fenderwell intake from zzp. Anyone have this and can tell me how well does this intake Fit/Look/Work? Now I know im supposed to search around for this but honestly I did and I feel overwhelmed from all the different...

    Wire in tweeter to aftermarket speaker

    Im going to be replacing my front door speakers on my 97gtp but I also want to keep the stock tweeters. I heard if you wire in the stock tweeters to aftermarket speakers the impendance wont be right and your headunit will eventually fail and that it must be wired in series. Is this true and how...

    About to do rear valve cover gasket a few ???

    Im going to change out the rear vcg on my 97 gtp tomorrow. I checked things out tonight to see what kind of work im looking at. I know a lot of people say the alternator should be removed but in my case it looks like the alternator doesn't interfere much with the job. There is no bolts on the...

    Is my strut blown?

    It looks like I have oil leaking out of my rear driver side strut on my 97gtp coupe. The car only has 44K miles and seems to drive fine suspension wise no excessive bouncing or anything. Should I change it out and if so is it difficult to change? can I only change one side? or do I have to do both.
