• 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.

    HVAC Controls, A/C button won't toggle A/C on

    Has anyone had this issue before? I was wondering if just replacing the whole unit is easy to do because I found one on ebay, or does this have little to nothing to do with the issue? This is the same unit in the car...

    1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Misfire under load

    I can't figure out what's causing a random misfire under load in my GP. It's the worst when going up a hill, I have to make it shift out of OD and hit about 3k rpms so it doesn't misfire. So any time it hits OD and the load is high, it'll miss HARD. Often times it'll miss with the A/C on at a...

    Missfire at idle, shudder at 40mph low rpm load

    Hey guys, having some issues with my '99 Grand Prix N/A. At idle I hear/feel a missfire and at when I'm at a low RPM load on the engine, it'll buck, sometimes hard, and it'll do it repeatedly until I give it more gas to downshift. I'm assuming the problems are related. I need to check the...

    How to install the front sway bar on a Grand Prix the easy way!

    I've driven my grand prix without the front sway bar for over a year and decided to finally get a new one. I knew this would be a biatch to do because it was biatch to get out. So after struggling for 10-15 minutes trying to put in in through the passenger side: 1. Take the sway bar under the...

    Key wouldn't turn forward

    It'd turn backwards, but not forward. Is it the ignition switch? I've searched a lot but most people talk about not being able to remove the key. I already had that problem and just push the button. But has anyone experienced the key not turning forward?

    Changing a wheel stud?

    I was reading about changing one because I didn't think I could do it without removing the hub. Seems like several people were saying the front wheel studs can be removed easily, but after close inspection, it sure doesn't look possible. So is it without removing the hub? I might need a...

    Clunk while turning steering wheel

    1999 gp gt. 120k on it I did a quick search, but no one's description quite fit mine. If I am sitting in the driveway rotating the wheel about 60-90 degrees in either direction it makes a pretty loud clunk. Normal driving usually doesn't cause noise unless I go over a bump at low speed while...

    Weak Headlights

    Is anyone else's headlights just terribly weak. They aren't pointed too far down or anything. I'm just extremely disappointed in these headlights.

    High idle, especially with a/c on, then calms down

    My friends GP is having some issues with high idle, then it'll slowly calm itself down. I told him to change the IAC and problem persists. I said to check for vacuum leaks and clean the MAF and TB. Anything I am missing?

    How many quarts in a pan drop (transmission fluid)?

    I did a search and only found one post "7 quarts" Anyone know about how much fluid I need to replace? Also should I use Dexron III, maybe high mileage, or is there a better alternative fluid? 110k on a 1999 grand prix, not sure if this filter or fluid has been changed, but I'm gonna do it...

    Typical gas mileage for 1999 GP?

    I get about 21 in town and 28-29 on highway. Is this just a bit low? Should I clean TB and change plugs or fuel filter?

    What's normal operating temperature in traffic?

    I notice the car runs a bit warmer than it usually does. It's only about 70 degrees out so far and the car creeps around 210. Is this normal for this engine? Should I replace a thermostat? I'm talking stop and go traffic here, it does fine on the highway. I should also mention, the trans is...
