    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?

    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)

    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...

    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...

    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>

    Can you drain tranny fluid easily?

    I want to add new tranny fluid, and was wondering if there's a simple way to drain the ATX fluid? Do I need to go to a shop, or can I accomplish this myself....... <small>[ October 18, 2003, 04:09 AM: Message edited by: Clitaurus ]</small>

    Bought new tires... Smell burning rubber?

    I just purchased "4" new tires for my SHO. I decided to grab size "P225 60 R16". The first day I drove with them I jumped on the highway, and I smelled burning rubber coming from the front of the car. At that time I glanced at the speedo, and blew it off figuring "Any" tire would be smoking at...

    Think my "Amp" is toast... HELP!!

    I have a Kicker amp, and last night I attempted to hook up a single twelve inch sub to it. The sub worked for a few minutes, but stopped working unexpectedly. The amps "Power" light is on, but no matter how I look the RCA cables and subwoofer wires "I get nothing". This is the wierd thing... I...

    New Converters "Clogged already"??

    I purchased a performance plus Y-Pipe/Converter set three months ago, and had it professionally installed. Starting last week I am experiencing a strong smell inside the car. They say when converters are bad you will get a "Rotten Egg" smell sometimes. This is NOT the case... It is more of a...

    "EGR" ---> Code 332........

    Recently I had my check engine light come on a few times, and then it decided to stay on always. It does not come on when I start the car, but usually does after I jump on the highway. It sometimes comes on after a high rev around town. I pulled a code for the EGR valve, and also one for the EGR...

    Importance of resetting idle after battery disconnection??

    Is it really necessary to reset the engine's idle memory after your battery has been disconnected for a bit?? Does this actually do anything "Noticeable" with your vehicles performance???? <small>[ June 10, 2003, 01:09 AM: Message edited by: Clitaurus ]</small>

    Secondaries engaging...

    I have a power loss on the highway, when I juice the throttle. I think my secondaries shit the bed on me... How do I know when my secondaries open up?? Can you tell just by listening, or will you feel them kick in??

    SHO "0-60" (Possible B.S.)

    My friend has a 93 3.2L (ATX) like me, and he swears up and down that his SHO will pull a 5-5 1/2 second 0-60. His only mods are a K+N air filter. He told me that it all has to do with how you drive the car, because there is something called "RANDOM MEMORY" that assesses the way you are driving...

    Can a bad "EGR" cause converters to burn up??

    I am about to replace my converters on my SHO, but I have a check engine code for a bad EGR. I was wondering if I should fix the EGR first, or if that has nothing to do with the performance of the converters :rolleyes: I have heard that a bad MAF can lead to bad converters, and I'm not sure...
