    Cruise control

    Ok, so back when I bought my car over three years ago, the steering wheel started to peel. Ford was so kind as to replace it under warranty (notice the sarcasim in my voice?). Well several years later the cruise control button pops off and I notice that one side had been glued, there was the...

    YUP another ricer had his ass handed to him

    So I am driving my wife's 2000 Pontiac Grand Am(2.4L dohc), from my home in Charlotte NC to Florence SC, to work on some equipment at a customer site. Several miles out side of Darlington SC I encounter an Acura rsx-s turning onto 151 in the same direction as me. I only notice the car because...

    anyone know where I can get a set of 3.5" tips for my magnaflow exhaust. I don't care for the ones that came with the system, plus I had a "run in" with a HUGH driveway :chair: causing a slight bit of damage to the pass. side tip. Looking for something in a roll tip. Any suggestions are welcomed.

    Another MIL Eliminator & reset codes Question

    well the code checker just clears the codes.....are you installing a new exhaust system and this is why you are using MIL-E's? If the answer is yes to this question then this is what I would do and have had to do myself....After the install of my bassini X and MIL-E's, I had to disconnect the...

    Bassani X-pipe With...

    well I am using the bassani x with magnaflows....with the off road tubes in I noticed the loss of low end torque and that it was loud. Put the bassani high flow cats back in the system and gain the torque back.....Also the magnaflows and magnapacks are straight through mufflers, this would help...

    How long for OBDII monitors to be set?

    generally it's a couple of drive cycles....from start up to complete cool down, then start up to complete cool down again. Also do around 25 miles of driving, should fix you right up.

    Cracks, NOT scratches in engine bay

    :stupid: I agree, though our cars have weak front ends (which I know from personal experience) they will not just crack on their own....is it possible you ran into something, or someone bumped the front? I have seen a front end of these cars be pushed sideways by the glancing blow from the side...

    Cracks, NOT scratches in engine bay

    easiest way to fix this, which was stated in your other thread, is to grind the edges of the cracks in a "V", drill a hole at the bottom of the crack, and weld it all shut. edit: drill a hole at the top and bottom of the crack....oops, left that out.

    O/D light flashing!

    if you plug in a scan tool, you should be able to pull the codes for the trans...happened to me, the codes told me that there was not a change in rpms from 2nd to 3rd gear change. To fix this I flushed the trans, filled back with fluid, and dropped some trans conditioner in....No problems to...

    Question regarding power source

    Yes it will stay on and drain the battery slowly... not sure about your year car, but with my 02 if you leave the door open or some other lights on, the car will shut power to the system....this is the battery saver.

    Mass Air cleaning????

    still, some tends to get on the rubber ends. Not to mention there are places, like the metal seam, that hold the oil, only to release it at a later date in time. What I am doing just insures there is no oil contamination to the Mass Air.....but what ever trips your trigger:D

    Mass Air cleaning????

    Yes the Archive does rock, only thing I would add is if you are using a K&N, like I do, then invest a couple of dollars in a paper filter. What you do then is take the K&N out, clean and oil it, and let is sit for a couple of days to allow the oil to soak completely in or drain the excess off...

    check engine light question

    First start by using the predator to pull the codes, see if there is another problem such as upstream O2's or possible leak. I too have a predator but still used the mil elim just for this reason, plus when I go for an inspection, pull the o/r tubes out and put the cats in, there is no code...

    lots of trouble codes

    I 2nd that...If you pull HEC codes it will always show 5284, but if you watch the voltage you will see that the switch is working....as far as the traction control, do you have a tune that turns it off? If so, that is the reason for those codes.
