I noticed oil leaking from around the solenoid actuators, after close inspection I determined it was coming from where the wire plugs into the magnet. All four connectors were soaked in oil so I'm surprised the car ran fine with no check engine lights. Found new AC Delco replacements at rock...

Not knowing exactly where the rodent is may make it difficult, but I have a few suggestions. I'm guessing you have already shined a light and looked into every opening you can find, and if you haven't put a bore scope into all the vents, you need to do that before you start taking things apart...

It's very easy, use some trim removal tools that are cheap at harbor fright. Start at the top and work your way down, it just snaps in and out. Be gentle and take your time.

I believe that tire is only for the XLR not the V.

Sounds like a win-win, well done.

I believe they are the mini's, you can find them at any auto parts store.

That's good news, and you are right, that is nuts. Where exactly did he put the tape on the MAF sensor?

My CD changer was holding 6 of my favorite cd's hostage, I tried all the tricks, but nothing worked. Once I removed the unit and separated the cd changer from the radio, I was able to disassemble the changer and remove the cd's. Unfortunately I found some teeth missing from one of the gears so I...

Same here, no battery issues and it sits for weeks without a tender.

Sorry Bill, I got nothing. I would have inspected it, but I believe it requires removal of part of the exhaust system and the tunnel plate. Since mine is shifting great now I thought it best to leave well enough alone. I do have an assortment of bushings just in case. Dorman 14055, 14041 and 14797.

Thats good advice Mickeytee, having these bushings in the glove box is cheap insurance, I'll pick up the 14797. The rear one is easy to inspect and put your hands on, so I strongly recommend doing that as well. The front one looks a little more involved.

Hello Ryan, Welcome to the club.

My shifter always worked but seemed a little loose shifting back into reverse from drive. After reading about all the problems with the bushings I thought I better inspect it to be safe. Good thing I did because the bushing at the transmission end was gone. I used the Dorman 14055 kit, the clear...

Thanks for the info on the nano I'm still considering it. Good luck with the ECM, let us know how it works out.

That is different, I like it.

I have to tap out at this point, you have tried everything I could think of and more. I purchased my car from an auction so I didn't get to test drive it either. I did at least get to look it over but I think I should have looked closer, the previous owner had concealed some problems that ended...

The fact that you have not found the problem is certainly not for lack of trying, I can understand your frustration. Sorry but I have more questions than answers. When you said the problem started just after you bought the car does that mean on your way home or a week/month later? You made no...

OK RD, Let's take a step back, help me understand your problem. What code are you getting and when did you first get it. What changed around that time, by that I mean did you drive through a flood, make any changes or have any work done on the engine just before you got the code? The reason I...

Hello RD, Sorry I can't be much help solving your problem. My only experience with fault codes was solved by making sure the wire connections were in tight, problem solved. I think that's more common than most people think, the shop I took it to first told me I needed a new throttle body. It...

Hello Walt, In the old days I would check fuses and then the high/low beam selector switch. Sorry I can't be more help but I'm old school. Good luck, Dennis
