    WTF? What's goin' on here?

    What does it mean when an amplifiers "Power" light fades on and off continuously as you watch it? I was messing with it last night changing my speaker wires because I was getting distortion on my passenger rear speaker. The amp is a "Soundstream Little Wonder". Basically... All I did was switch...

    Missing coolant mystery?

    It was definitely "GREEN"... That's the first thing I noticed, because the sun was shining right on the small puddle. It seemed to just drip off the right side of the front fender ( Just ahead of the passenger side tire, and equal to where the reservoir area would be right above it ) :confused...

    Missing coolant mystery?

    Ok... For the past few days I have had my "Low Coolant" light come on. Every time I check the reservoir, it's emptyand I fill it to proper level AGAIN... The radiator is always full "Right to the top". There are no puddles where I park, although I did notice green coolant leaking down from the...

    SHO is behaving weird... (UPDATED)

    Well... This is what happened tonight. I was out driving around, and it was working fine. I got home, and went inside to change for work. The car was still warm when I got back outside. I started it up, and it immediately went into a high idle. It stayed at 2500rpm's, and would not go down for...

    SHO is behaving weird... (UPDATED)

    I hardly ever use the "Cruise control"... Can it stick even though I haven't used it, or be messed up maybe? Where do I unplug it?

    SHO is behaving weird... (UPDATED)

    When I am driving down the road, and take my foot off the gas to slow down the idle maintains it's speed as if I'm still pushing the pedal, until I touch the brake pedal and it then starts dropping to where it should be. This happened a few times tonight... What do you think would cause this? I...

    Low coolant light, but radiator's full?

    Mine did the same thing, and the radiator was full. I looked at the overflow canister, and it was indeed empty. I just added some coolant to it, and the light stopped coming on... <small>[ February 01, 2004, 12:15 AM: Message edited by: Clitaurus ]</small>

    Best/Cheapest aftermarket spark plug wires?

    I always run "93" octane, and have been using a product called "Prestone cold start" for the past few weeks (Every tank). Maybe an ingredient in this Prestone stuff is messing it up? I'm at a loss as to why this knock/ping is happening. <----This is the stuff...

    Best/Cheapest aftermarket spark plug wires?

    Ok... When I am driving, and I hit the throttle quick, I can hear a quick "Knock/Ping" every time. I ran carbon cleaner "Gumout" through the throttle body, and after that I ran water through to "Steam clean" the engine and remove carbon from the pistons/combustion chamber. I did this TWICE in...

    Oxygen sensor question...

    Hey guys... I replaced the front oxygen sensor a few months ago with a used one, because the previous one was broken. I suspect this sensor may not be working right either. My pinging is on the drivers side of the engine for sure. Can a malfunctioning/bad oxygen sensor cause "Pinging" in the engine?

    High engine temperature...

    I was suspecting a fan problem too... Do I need to replace the whole unit, or can I get the fan motor/control?

    High engine temperature...

    When driving around town my temp gauge needle shoots right up to the "N" on "Normal". It does not go higher than that. It has always stayed at the "M" area. When I get on the highway the temperature drops drastically, and as soon as I jump off the highway it shoots back up again. It has never...

    How much to get blown?

    What would I be looking at in $$$$ to create an efficient running blown SHO? Is it worth the effort and money, or should I just save the money for inevitable repairs? <small>[ November 08, 2003, 06:04 AM: Message edited by: Clitaurus ]</small>
