    Hood strut lower clip removal?

    My 31 year old hood struts are finally giving up. I got replacements, but I can't get the lower clips off. All the Helms says is "Remove the lock clip at the cowl top extension." but not how to do so. It looks like you should pry open the bottom of the clip a bit with a screwdriver and push...

    Odd no start '95 MTX

    TLDR version - various no start conditions across a three week period. sometimes no crank, once mimics a dying battery with slow crank. Maybe my SHO doesn't like being on winter duty, but it's started a hard to diagnose no start condition because the only thing consistent is no start until it's...

    CD player started acting up w/o CD in it

    I can't be the first to have this issue, but my search hasn't turned it up in the archives. This is a '95 MTX stock JBL system At initial car start up, and then randomly and frequently, the CD player powers up to track 1 which cuts out the radio or the cassette, whichever is actually on. After...

    Need Gen 2 stock catalytic convertors that will pass CA/NY/CO emissions

    CO joined the nanny states of CA and NY and tightened the emission requirements to renew vehicle registration. I am failing on NOx, and after some research, apparently the best bet is revert to a stock Y pipe or at least the stock cats from a low(ish) mile car. My car is an MTX but at this...

    NOx emissions failure- any new wisdom?

    Colorado changed the NOx requirements in January 2021. This area of Colorado is now under CA IM240 requirements. So this is a 49 state MTX being held to CA standards. My last passing result in 2020 was 2.42 GPM and my failing result yesterday was 2.31. Searching the archives there seems to be...

    Did y'all see this? $25K for a '95 MTX with 109,000 miles. Sure it's low mileage, but wowza... https://www.ebay.com/itm/164630022935?ul_noapp=true Did our cars have a tremendous run up in price suddenly and I missed it?

    Can a Super Coupe Crank Sensor work in an SHO if modified?

    I did a search before asking and I can't believe this question didn't come up before... At least not with the search terms I used.... Too hot to work in the garage today so decided it was time to sort and list on Craigslist and eBay the non SHO and non MTX parts that the prior owner gave me...

    Odd cold weather shutdown of JBL sound system

    Got a head scratcher...This just started in the last few weeks. Only when the car is cold and the weather is cold (below 40 deg and during the first 5 miles or so of driving) if I hit a pothole or cross railroad tracks a bit too fast the radio shuts off. Power antenna retracts. then one of 2...

    Need A/C parts for 95 MTX

    HELP! it's upper 90's heading to 100+ and my A/C quit. The rubber puck disintegrated on the clutch, due to compressor seize, metal shards in the AC lines. Worked flawlessly right up until it self destructed - no warning. Shop ordered the "kit" for the '92-95 SHO and it came with wrong...

    ISO rear Tokicos for Gen 2

    Now that my SHO is finally getting repaired it's time to move on to some of the other work it needs. I'm looking for a set of rear Tokicos, NIB, good used, or rebuildable cores. What's out there? SHOSource told me they can get them rebuilt, but they don't have cores. I already had a NIB pair...

    ISO Gen 2 rear bumper - hopefully within a few hundred miles of Denver

    Hey all, Bottom line - I need to find a rear Gen 2 bumper with the inner structure, or just the inner structure itself, and be able to get it to Denver for $300 or less including shipping or I will be SHOless again. I got rear ended by an uninsured driver in a car that wasn't hers. Excluding...

    ISO a known good D code CCRM and maybe an X2J too

    This is a bit long - so I apologize in advance - I have electronic gremlins in a stock '95 MTX with 81K (Bought it with 76K last year). Low speed fan didn't work when I bought it. The dreaded prior owner had diagnosed as a bad CCRM because jumping pins 3 to 1 had the fan run. He procured but...

    What are the chances my MIL is burnt out?

    Just bought another Gen 2 after a 11 years a no SHO here... The car is low miles (77K) '95 MTX overall good shape and garaged, no mods that I can see so far, but has a pronounced stumble when cold from about 3000 - 3500 rpm. Goes away within minutes of startup. (Also needs a CCRM because the...
