    Trunk spring bumper 99-04

    I replaced the trunk spring bumpers 1 year ago. Found one of the bottom rubber caps missing. Replaced them with thick grommets at substantially lower cost then new bumpers on my 2001 gt. Hope this helps someone out .

    Valve cover leaking

    Been having oil smoking off exhaust manifold for a long time. This morning while replacing radiator, heater hoses, and thermostat I found that the front valve cover bolt by coil pack was missing and the next one back was loose. Guess I now know where the oil was coming from. Any suggestions on...

    Code 181

    Well, its been a while, but I'm back with a problem, lol. Pulled a code 181 after the Check Engine Light popped on and off. Anyone have any quick checks or things to replace first? From what I have found so far, it shows a lean condition. Maybe changing out the fuel filter would be the...

    water pump pulley removal

    This is on a 2.3, but I am entertaining the idea of changing the water pump myself. I have the belts off and tried to loosen the 4 bolts that hold on the pulley, but the pulley spins. What is the best way to loosen the bolts and keep it from spinning. I do not have an impact gun, just hand...

    Where did all the coolant go?

    Tonight I was driving around and noticed the engine smelled hot and the temp gauge was going way too high. By the time I got home it was starting to make some clicking while accelerating. The radiator and reservoir were completely empty. I have not noticed any fluid on garage floor, but my...

    Changed the plugs/wires @ 99000

    Had a small miss when idling at a stoplight or stopsign, so figured it was a plug or wire that was amiss. Love how easy these 2.3's are to work on. Autolite 764's and Bosch plug wires. Got to love having lifetime warranty plug wires when you have had a car for almost 17 yrs.

    Pic Whoring Thread

    Haven't posted any pics lately and the weather was great for some pics. Some of the pics are from a car show on Saturday and the other ones are at a small airport. Was hoping to get some next to a plane, but that didn't happen.
