    P0102 Code

    I have a 2000 GT that is throwing a P0102 code. I do have a service manual on CD and will look at the troubleshooting procedure, but I wanted to see if anyone has any advice here. My idle has been fluctuating more than normal in the past couple of months. I have had a faulty idle air...

    Charging System Light

    Hi, I have a 2000 GT with 180000 miles. The short story is that my charging system light is flickering regardless of load or RPM. The long story is that about a month ago, I noticed it would briefly flicker at higher RPMs. I had the system tested at Advance, and they said the battery and...

    A/c Not Blowing Cold

    I have a 2000 GT. My A/C has stopped blowing cold air. I noticed that the compressor clutch does not spin at all when the A/C is on. After some research, I thought that I may be low on refrigerant. I purchased a recharge bottle (with a gauge), and when I checked the low side pressure, it was...

    New X-pipe-P0156, P0174 codes

    I have a 2000 GT. I installed a Bassani catback exhaust and Bassani X-pipe about 10 years ago along with some MIL eliminators soldered into the rear O2 sensor harnesses. I needed to replace the X-pipe due to a rattling sound possibly caused by a small slit in the heat shield area. I replaced...

    Accel Fuel Injectors

    I have a 2000 GT with ~150,000 miles. I decided to replace my stock fuel injectors with some Accels. I purchased the same flow rate as my stock ones (19 lbs./hr). After install, my car seemed like it had a loss of power and seemed to hesitate at times. The injectors appeared to be installed...

    New Injectors, Loss of Power

    2000 GT with 150000 miles, daily driver. I installed some new fuel injectors and spark plugs last weekend. The old injectors were stock (19 lbs./hr), and I replaced them with Accel injectors of the same rate. While accelerating, I notice a loss of power, particularly at around 3000 rpms. It...

    A/C Compressor Question

    I have a slight rattling sound coming from the bottom of the engine/transmission area. I notice it occasionally at idle. I do not really notice it while driving, but I am thinking it that may be because of the exhaust and other general engine noise. I did notice it while driving up the...

    Fuel Pump and/or FPDM issue?

    A couple of days ago, I had a no start normal crank condition. Ultimately, I disconnected the MAF, and it started. I shut it off, reconnected the MAF, and it started again. I cleaned the MAF, and it seemed fine. This morning, no start normal crank again. I did not hear the fuel pump this...

    Improving Fuel Efficiency

    I have a 2000 GT which recently turned over 150000 miles. I have noticed the fuel efficiency has diminished over the years, which is probably to be expected. In order to improve fuel efficiency, any recommendations on maintenance outside of oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs...

    Low Beams Inoperable

    The low beams (both sides) on my 2000 GT stopped working. Parking lights and high beams both work. The bulbs appear to be fine. I am diagnosing per the service manual. Both low beam fuses in the Central Junction Box (in the car) are fine. I have ~12V at these fuse locations. I checked for...

    Leaking headlights

    Short story: My chrome, clear corner headlights from americanmuscle.com leaked, and I do not recommend purchasing from them. Long story: I needed to replace my yellowing headlights on my 2000 GT, and I liked the looks of the clear corners. I bought a pair from americanmuscle.com for $200...
