    Engine stuttering problem...

    When I am cruising at about 2000 to 2500 RPM and step into the throttle a bit to try and pick up speed, the engine hesitates and stutters, almost like a misfire. It happens more while I'm moving than when I'm accelerating from a stop. It isn't the TPS, because I just replaced that about six...

    Wiper blade not maintaining tension against windshield

    As long as I've had my SHO, the driver-side wiper blade does not maintain contact with the windshield. It looks okay when parked, but lifts off when the wipers are moving. I figured maybe the springs in the arm weren't holding the blade against the glass, but I put a new arm on and it did the...

    So I changed my TPS last night.

    Car was bucking VERY hard under light throttle...like, I would step on the pedal and it would lose power for a second or two, then THUMP! as the engine regained power and bounced off the hood, causing the whole car to lurch back and forth. The CE light was flashing on and off as well, so I...

    Frozen slider pin on right rear...what to do?

    I got my front brakes done easily enough, but one of the slider pins in the right rear brake assembly is frozen securely in place, and a liberal soaking of WD-40 didn't even faze it. The other pin started moving without WD-40, but took a lot of working back and forth. The frozen pin won't move...

    Changing front & rear brakes

    The SHO finally needs brakes, so I'm going to crawl my amateur ass under there and do it myself. I'm not sure how old the rotors are, so if I can get a decent price I'll be doing them too. I have very little experience with brakes; aside from stuck fasteners and spraying brake fluid, what...

    ABS light on after driving in heavy rain

    Last week I went to visit a friend, and as I left the house it was raining extremely hard, to the point that there was some rather heavy runoff in places on the road I was on (no more than 2 inches deep at the most). After about three or four miles of driving cautiously at no more than 25 mph...

    Sudden loss of power, rough idle

    I was pulling up to a red light and out of nowhere the engine started running really rough. I took off, and thinking I had just bogged it down by not revving enough when I let out the clutch, tried to accelerate more but nothing happened. Now the car has NO power, idles very rough, and sounds...

    Still having wiper problems...!

    Well, I installed a new multifunction switch, which cured my intermittent wiper problems, but the driver side wiper blade now doesn't even touch the windshield when I turn the wipers on! Lifting the two wiper arms up away from the windshield, I can see that compared to the passenger-side arm...

    Figured out my wiper problem

    Okay...as I ambled to the car this morning to head to school, I played around with my driver-side wiper, and figured out why it isn't properly tensioned against the windshield. The post on which the wiper arm sits is loose. I checked the other wiper, and there was no movement in the post when...

    Broken exhaust manifold stud--how to fix?

    A while back I was removing my Y-pipe, and somehow forgot to WD-40 one of the nuts on the rear exhaust manifold, and the stud twisted off. How should I go about fixing this--drill out the remaining piece of stud and use a bolt, or drill it out and replace it with another stud? Worst case...

    Another wiper question

    Ever since I got my SHO the driver-side wiper has had a problem with not contacting the windshield properly. Watching it in motion, I can see that most if not all of the wiper blade is not even touching the windshield. I replaced the wiper arm, but the blade still does not rest properly on the...

    Cleaned wiper switch contacts, and still have problems

    I finally had some spare time this afternoon, so I decided to try and fix my flaky windshield wiper switch. There was a bunch of orange-colored goop on the contacts, which I cleaned off. The problem is...it didn't work! They still act exactly like they did before, but now they won't even turn...

    Cruise control/horn don't work

    The horn and CC both used to work, but now neither does, and I have no idea why. When I push either horn button there is a click from some sort of solenoid or relay somewhere in the dash, and CC just doesn't work. I flipped through the owners' manual and my EVTM, but couldn't find any useful...

    B9B1 to X2J...any advantages?

    Would I see any difference in engine performance if I switched from the B9B1 computer my SHO has now to an X2J? There's an X2J on Ebay right now; I was just wondering if it would be worth the money.

    8" subs

    Okay...I have a bandpass box that came with two crappy no-name 8" subs, and I would like to replace them with some REAL speakers. Anyone have any suggestions?

    A/C question

    Okay...my A/C hasn't worked since I got my SHO, but I haven't had the time or money to get it fixed. Being that summer is on its way, I would like to have it; Georgia summers and a black interior do not go well together. When I turn the knob to A/C, the compressor doesn't kick on, but if I go...

    A/C Compressor question

    Will an A/C compressor from a '94 ATX fit a MTX (my car)? I'm wondering because I found one cheap, and I need my A/C fixed.

    Compression testing

    Okay, I stopped at Advance the other day and picked up a compression tester to see what's up with my #1 and #3 cylinders. I've never used one before, but it seems pretty straightforward. Just looking for some pointers before I go out and do this.

    Cylinder balance

    When I checked codes a couple days ago, I ran the cylinder balance test, and EEC revealed that #1 and #3 are weak. A few weeks ago, when I replaced the copper Motorcraft plugs with the double platinum ones, I found that the #1 and #3 plugs looked horrible (the ones in the motor, not the new...

    I love my Check Engine light.

    I was coming back from town about half an hour ago, and about a half mile from school the light flashed on and damn near gave me a heart attack. It stayed on for about twenty seconds, then turned off. Needless to say, I pulled codes as soon as I got back. Immediate KOEO codes were clear...
