Could be any of the above... plus the heat plate between the exhaust and torque-tube... there are like 50 small bolts holding in place, and they get lose over time... when the chassis twists (like low speed turns) you can hear the plate pop when it moves around... you can get to most of them...

This cannot be done with a Tech2 - but can be done with aftermarket tuner systems like EFIlive and HPTuners. The options to adjust are available with both. With that said - I suspect its not worth the effort since the tire diameter likely isn't that much different for whatever it is you're...

As far as the pressure is concerned, its not uncommon for fuel lines to to remain pressurized in modern cars with no returns. The service manual specifically says to de-pressurize when working on the fuel system as this behavior is expected.

I have the Corsa on mine, and I can confirm it has zero drone.

I believe thats the microphone for onstar and voice control. There is typically a small round grill covering it.

GM bought back my first 2006 XLR-V - it was a nightmare car... I mean - it was a lemon if there ever was one... there were so many things wrong with it, it was comical. The 04 and 05 models are known to have many issues as they were learning how to get the formula right... including radiator...

The last time I pulled the SC I bought an engine hoist to do it.... and it was STILL a pita...

Could be the cam sensors.... I would also check all the connections... and sometimes it could be a grounding problem which is a common problem with corrosion prone areas where it snows. may take quite a bit of work to track down.

I agree - I had to remove the supercharger twice due to rat damage to get around it to fix wires - HUGE pain.

Could also be a wiring issue... there are a LOT of wires between the throttle body and the firewall... and the rats love destroying them... I have had to deal with rat damage 3 times in my XLR - so destructive. Also - could also be a grounding problem - its common on this chassis (including...

The sensor you are referring to is measuring the actual atmospheric pressure... it'll be different if you're at sea-level vs up in the mountains.

My XLR-V has been under attack by rats every winter for years.... and every so often they chew wiring causing issues like this. Something to consider.

I was a huge Optima fan until Johnson Controls bought them and the quality went to crap - switched to Odyssey on all my cars and haven't had a single problem since.. I bought the largest battery that would fit in the existing tray. I have a CTEK maintainer as well - I actually have 4 for...

you remove the wheels off the car, and you can push them out from the back - they are press-fit in. There are some "tricks" to removing them from the front, but you risk damaging the wheels while prying them out

Ya... what mickeytee said.. lol 😂

in the XLR its actually a generator, not an alternator... I don't quite understand the difference myself, but two things worth noting in the XLR Generator is that 1) its water cooled... and 2) its variable output and its controlled by the engine computer... from those two things we can presume...

you just pull up - its just press-fit with clips. To completely remove it, you will first have to remove the shift nob

I tried that one and I couldn't get it to work properly either... I ended up returning it and used a PAC SWI-RC-1 instead.

It sounds like the car is going into "Run (no start)" - which happens when you hold the lower portion of the start button down for a few seconds... I wonder if your start button is defective and needs to be replaced? Also - if the starter is commanded you should be able to check that with the...
