Sharing information here. My check engine light kept coming on. Code P0174 "System Too Lean". I searched everywhere and tested everything. There were no vacuum leaks. None! The mass air sensor tested good. O2 sensors (4 ea.) all tested good. Gas cap tested good. Usually what causes a 'too lean...

Hi All, As 05 Grand Daddy knows I had been painting and refinishing my truck. Base coat, clear coat. (Dark, "Majestic Blue Metallic") My issue and problem is as follows with the clear coat. Ugh. When final buffing the driver's side rear door, I got too close to the door edge with the buffer...

Took Goldie out for a run and up through the mountains yesterday with my wife and T.J. to see the Aspens In Color now that Fall has arrived in The Rockies. Beautiful day, mid 70's. Colors were amazing. Seas of yellow Aspens against dark green Evergreen Forests. Top down cruising. :) Then on the...

Hey all, well this summer is going too fast. There is a new event occurring here that I am told will be repeated again next year. And one I have decided I no longer want to be part of. My wife's Niece and her daughter were just here from July 14th - July 22nd on Holiday. So three women, and...

My wife informed me earlier this week that this coming Saturday she's having her girl friends here to the house. :rolleyes: 'A Hen Party.' Oh Yea. They will 'visit' together here for awhile (coffee and rolls, etc.). Very loud. Then they go out and shop together for awhile. Have lunch somewhere...

Another project going on. A month ago I came across a 1978 Olds Tornado on Craig's List in Scottsbluff Nebraska. The car is a basket case but had the original 'all there' 403ci V8 4bbl Rochester with TH 40025 Trans and 3:07 Diff. Hadn't run for a few years. But hooked up a remote gas can, extra...

Shaking the dust off Goldie as she has pretty much been in the garage all winter and our snow is finally gone. :) Last storm that dumped 6" of the white stuff left here a little over a week ago. Life at 7,600 feet above sea level. So decided to get her totally operation for some top down Rocky...

Hi all, Maybe someone has experienced this and can shed some light? I haven't jacked it up yet to check it out as we are still freezing our butts off here in Colorado. In fact we had a blizzard this past weekend and got 2' of snow with 50 mph winds. Drifts 5' high. :rolleyes: Just dug out...

Hi all, :wave: Well winter's almost over I think? Two days ago we had 10" of new snow and another 3" yesterday, but tomorrow it's supposed to be 70 degrees. Yeaaa! Yup, "Springtime In The Rockies". :) "Goldie" has been excercised over the winter a few times on and off between storms but has...

My old slightly chipped and cracked High Mount Brake Light was replaced with one from a salvage yard out of Wisconsin. I installed it today and am shipping the old slightly damaged one off to a friend in Chicago tomorrow. --- Anyhow, on the replacement one now installed and all the wires are...

Looking for a high mount 04-09 XLR rear brake light lens assembly. Prior ding ding who owned the car (I'm the new ding ding :)) somehow opened the trunk into something and gouged and cracked the lens. Looking for one in pristine condition. - Anyone?

Last month on the drive back from San Diego to Colorado with The XLR I got stopped for speeding on I-15 just outside of St George Utah headed N.E. at around 9:25 P.M. :confused: Had just gotten dark out. Just as I came out of an area with winding canyon roads, speed limit 55 MPH, I saw a sign...

Hi all. :wave: I have posted two pictures of my Gold Mist 06 XLR that I bought in San Diego a few weeks back and drove back to Colorado at that time. I am the second owner. I bought it from a retired MD's estate. Has just over 32000 miles on it. Sorry I haven't yet answered all the prior...

Hopefully the stuff I am going to tell you about here will 'crack you up'. : ) I am 6'4" and didn't think about the pre-programmed seat positions that the doctors wife had set. She is barely 5' tall if that? I'd manually move the seat all the way back and recline it. When I turned off the...

I'm not sure I'm doing this posting right as I am trying to acknowledge all of your well wishes and get my description of the car and drive back from California posted under the primary 'newbie' site? --- If I get this on correctly as a primary listing entry (?). If not please click on my #2...

Hi all. Tomorrow at 12:22 P.M. I land in San Diego to pick up my new (to me : ) one owner 06 Gold Mist XLR with 31,000 miles on the clock. To say I am excited to own such a beautiful vehicle is an understatement. The car is presently owned by a retired doctor who bought it new in the fall of 05...
