• 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.

hope this is in the right place

got a few ?s bout 1997 gtp for who ever will listen to me lol i just got one ok here we go

#1 is the powerstering suppose to whine at slow almost stopping speeds when sharp turing
#2 do gtp's have kinda crappy top end and really good take off
#3 why when i really step on the throttel when it hits a higher rpm the low cooliant light comes on



thanks if you can help me solve these riddles
 


#1 no you should not hear a whine from the power steering
#2 mines not stock, but the top end is pretty good
#3 you need to bleed the cooling system more than likely
 
#1 no you should not hear a whine from the power steering(Check fluid level and think about putting a bottle of Lucas in it)
#2 mines not stock, but the top end is pretty good(I noticed when mine was stock that it was not very good high up, but tuning should help that out a lot)
#3 you need to bleed the cooling system more than likely(Check your coolant level in the radiator)

Sorry Archemedes, I had to add to yours :th_peaceout:
 
1. No, your PS pump should not whine at all. I would suspect that your PS pump is on the way out. Consider a replacement.

2. The top end isn't too bad in our cars, for a stock car. Might want to do a tune up.

3. Check the coolant level in the radiator as mentioned above.
 


#2 - Its a six banger man! If you want true top end power you need 1. Lots of mods to your S/C six or 2. Get a V8.

Off the line its nice, but stock the top end isnt to much to brag about. Im talkin 70mph+.
