Hey gang, it has been a while! I pulled my car out of a 2 year storage and am back on the road and looking to fix up some of the little issues that I've been having, one of which has me wondering what exactly the problem may be. Ever since installing my TKO 600 I've had problems with grinding...

Hey everyone. Unfortunately, I inherited my Dad's 1988 GT because he passed away this past August, and it has been sitting in storage for roughly 5 years. Upon pulling the car out and driving it when the roads were dry one of the bolts holding the alternator bracket to the block broke, one was...

I followed this thread for a lot of my preparation before I decided to jump in and do it myself. My car doesn't have the factory keyless box in the trunk nor does the dome light turn on when I lift the door handle. I wired up 2 relays exactly the way the Actuators / Reverse Polarity diagram...

For the life of me I can't figure out what happened. My stock ignition switch (lock) ears were about done and I wanted to replace the assembly before they actually broke. I bought a new one from Autozone and went to work on it tonight. I removed the lower cover of the steering column because...

I hope you guys can help me, I'm an idiot. The ears on my stock ignition lock have begun to significantly give way, so I've been searching the forum since last week discovering what I needed to purchase to fix the problem. After reading how-to's and finding out what to purchase I bought my...

I just pulled the car out of storage and have had the problem twice since she has been out, now I won't take it out until I can get it fixed. I thought at first that poor wiring was not allowing my Vortech in-line fuel pump to work, and after inspecting wires for replacement this afternoon I...

I graduated from Michigan State University last week with my BSW (Social Work) and finally after working a 16 hour a week internship, 17 credits, and midnight shifts on Friday and Saturday nights do I have the time and ability to get the car out. When I arrived at my Dad's friend's place the...

Hey everyone! I haven't been around here in a few months as I've been trying to get my finances in order, get ready for graduation in May by finishing up school and everything else. My Saturn really started pissing me off, something was breaking every 2 or so weeks and I had enough. I had an...

Hey guys, I bought a PA Performance 130A alternator for the '95, and I'm not sure if it's my problem or not. It runs the car and charges the battery fine. My first 1 1/2 hours of driving I had no issues, but I did notice my volt gauge was moving around a little bit. The next morning I...

I just pulled the car out of storage today and while I've had a smile on my face all day, I just noticed on my last drive that the fan only works on the highest settings. From the searching I've done most people are set on the blower motor resistor, does that sound accurate? The fan blows...

I'm about ready to start putting down the cash for the spring parts but I want some input from you to see if you'd do what I want to do. I've liked MSD stuff for a long time and never had any problems with their components on other vehicles, but I've read far too much about failing 6AL's to...

When I pull the car back out in a couple of months I need to put in a new alternator. I've decided on the 130 amp PA Performance one, but they want me to make some wires larger... which is just a great excuse for me to put the battery in the trunk. I've read enough stuff about wires and crap to...

The Vortech kit I got came with the T-rex in-line fuel pump which is rated at 255 lph. I bought and installed a Walbro 255 lph HP pump along with the T-rex because I was told that it wouldn't hurt and it could only help. Last Summer my car died on the freeway and it ended up being the ground...

So everything is in and working, but I wouldn't quite say well yet. Are you supposed to use loc-tite on the shift stops, because the first time the bottom one moved I thought I lost two gears, I fixed it, and it loosened right back up literally minutes later. Also, the bottom bolt on the...

I bought the UPR smog delete and it didn't retain my factory belt size, so I went out and got a belt that I could get on, but it has now stretched so that two areas of the belt contact each other. I am assuming that because I am running a larger water pump pulley (per the Vortech kit) that this...

At first I thought it was my exhaust, but I'm having my doubts. I went out this morning with the goal of re-tightening down my header bolts because I assumed after sitting all winter and then getting the car back out they just started coming out. Well, the bolts are as tight as can be and the...

Augh, I've had my few little problems here and there, and this may just be another one, but I'm starting to get frustrated. Me and a buddy were having problems getting the TKO to pop in that last 3/4", we struggled with it for about a half hour and we decided that it should be fine to pull on...

I started my TKO swap yesterday and it's been interesting so far, but because of hang ups and problems I still have yet to even get the driveshaft off. Here is what I have for questions. For those that have the UPR smog delete and a vortech, did you have to buy a new serpentine belt? For some...

After sitting in storage out of my reach for 6 months I finally got it back tonight. After driving the Saturn all Winter I dang near crapped my pants the first time I floored it, and instantly laughed like a little school girl the rest of the way home. Next year I'm storing here so I can do...

Alright, I should have called this Flywheel/Pressure Plate Problem, but anyways... I have all this new driveline stuff and I keep having issues with this flywheel. When I first opened the packaging I realized that this flywheel wasn't exactly fresh in a box, it looked new/unused, but it was a...
