    Drivers outside mirror

    I have a similar problem with mine. Rear view mirror won't darken at all, but driver outside mirror goes black all the time. Did you find a solution?

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    I was just following the OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS from GM . nothing else. No need to become rude cause FIRST: nobody forces you to answer me and SECOND: you didn't know about the alignment steps like in in the sercive manual. I live in Germany, have to check every step twice - when something goes...

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    Thanks, but the Kent Moore tool I mentioned IS the line up pins...

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    I just bought EN46109 from Kent Moore, like mentioned in the GM service manual, but the hole in the actuators don't fit perfectly - the whole is very little bigger. Is it normal?

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    That would be nice, thanks you. It seems like alignment is done through the hole in the middle, but the plastic plug will not come out without breaking.

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    Thanks, so you think the step in the manual is not needed? (I made a picture of it)

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    I see, this part of the manual I understand - but the alignment pin through the magnet, by taking the pastic plug out is strange. The plug will not come out and break.

    Adjustment on VVT actuators?!

    Good morning, after cleaning the oil from all cables I could reach, I bought new VVT actuators. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8720292&cc=1420164&pt=12910&jsn=938 Hope these are the right ones?! Now I read the service manual to look at the procedure and it says adjustment is...

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    No oil leaks on valve covers, but oil in every cable of 4 VVTs. U0101 / U1024 codes about losing communication to TCM - I think thats because of the oil. But how to drain it all cables? It moved far upwards under intake manifold, maybe moved into ECM.

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    Ok finally weather and time was right to look after my XLR. Things seem even worse. First of all: no invaders, bolts on intake were fine - although it's not possible to check torque on every screw I checked it with a small wrench that fit into the tiny places. Spark plugs fine, coils fine...

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    Yes thought about that, but my garage is really closed. I will take a closer look these days. Thanks for advice. Worst case would be a compression loss - but never heard of this on a XLR.

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    Ok I will try this today or tomorrow. Thanks. In my manual it is "Nm" and says 10 Nm. That would be an easy fix. I'm a little bit afraid of a worn injector that keeps on dripping fuel into the cylinder. A friend of mine bursted his engine that way (not a XLR or Northstar)

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    Thanks, I have the repair manual and think I will find it. Did you have the same issues and it was the intake ?
  14. CadillacSam

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    That's a good hint, I will look after. Should I get new seals for the intake too? I hope it's not the injectors or even worse a loss of compression.

    Coil and spark plugs recommendation

    Hi folks, after sitting for about 3 months during winter I startet my 04 diva yesterday and ... rough idling. Looks like misfires I thought and plugged in the Tech2. And yes, but only P0300, no specific cylinder and strange U0101 / U1024 codes about losing communication to TCM. I'm...

    Another strange thing with the roof

    Hi there, no problems with the roof for about a year. Operated it maybe 5 times since then, but now ... tadaaa ... it won't open. The sequence: Front tonneau opens, trunk opens, head latch is released, roof is retracted in the rear, BUT now the rear tonneau will not come down / extend. It...

    Got rid of my Mag Ride Shocks!

    No issues with the OBD? Sounds great. Which type of transmission fluid do you plan to use? I had to change mine 2 times.

    Bigger battery

    Thanks, I also couldn't find it with the Tech2, but wanted to be sure. Well I use one of the battery charger / tender that was test winner over the last years from CTek. And the last 2 batteries were Vartas, best German make for car batteries. Use them in my 06 STS and they work fine with it.

    Bigger battery

    Thanks, but what I wanted to know is if you have to tell the ECM what battery is installed via scanner or Tech2.

    Bigger battery

    That's what I meant with an "intelligent charger", contains maintenance procedures. No over charging. What size do you use? Has the BCM or ECM to be told what battery it is?
