    tranny and diff oil change!

    alright I've heard a lot of different opinions on gear oils. I've decided not to go with any specialty oils (i.e. Royal Purple, Redline, etc.) Anyways I'm going to auto shop class tonight and I wanna do my tranny and diff oils today, but I need to know what to get. I think I've heard mobil...

    Dumping out coolant LOTS OF COOLANT!

    Shaeff, well there isn't any coolant coming from the weep hole, it is completely dry up there. mkIIIman, It seems to be back behind where the water pump mounts which is pretty inaccessible, it was a bitch putting that new lower radiator hose in. Cartman, I will definitely check that hose.

    Dumping out coolant LOTS OF COOLANT!

    Well I was accelerating to pass the other day, and something burst my first thought was the lower radiator hose because that is the area that it is leaking immensely from. So I replaced that hose and no luck, it appears to be coming from underneath and behind the water pump. There is nothing...

    Coolent light randomly turns on?

    That's just your nascar light, it comes on when you turn left. If it stays on for a while, that's how you know you are in a nascar race! Sorry I'm kinda stonned.

    strange vibration at low speed

    well, Thanks for the input about gear oil, I was seriously considering redline gear oils. But now I'll rethink that. The diff oil hasn't been changed since I bought the car, same with tranny oil. In response to demianu27, by ball joints are going bad and the steering pops if i am sitting...

    strange vibration at low speed

    When I turn at low speed my car starts vibrating, and makes kind of a humming sound. As the speed increases and I take a turn it isn't noticeable. It feels to me like it is coming from the rear of the car, but it is hard to tell. This only happens when I am turning, it does not do it while...

    Hesitation at 2.5k rpm

    just as the title says power drops off noticably until I hit about 3k rpm and it starts pulling hard again all the way up without a problem. Mods are...3" exhaust (stock elbow), cone filter, and BOV. I replaced plugs, wires, vac hoses, set TPS, checked intercooler connections and retightened...

    Popping/Chugging sound from engine: BGH??

    i would imagine a blown hg to make a whooshing sound. Cracked or loose exhaust manifold would make a clicking type of sound

    Tracking down a Misfire!

    I'm also going to add a few extra grounding points for the electrical system, set timing, replace timing belt, replace serpentine belt. Any other suggestions?

    Tracking down a Misfire!

    well thanks for the input guys, but it isn't the idle miss that bothers me, I really can't even feel the idle miss unless I'm really paying attention. The thing that bothers me is, say I set my cruise control on the highway going 70. I'm not sure what RPM that would be at or if that even...

    Tracking down a Misfire!

    Okay, since the day I bought the car (about 5 months ago) it has had a terribly annoying misfire only during light throttle and only after the car is completely warmed up (on cold days sometimes the car won't get hot enough and will run flawlessly all day). The car always idles great, but when...

    Won't start after plug wire change

    the coil pack ground is still in one piece, both ends tightened nicely. I'll run out and play with the CPS wiring, and hopefully she'll start up.

    Won't start after plug wire change

    Ok so I usually have no problems with starting other than it taking longer than it should to start. But today I went to start her up to go pick up my new set of plug wires I ordered from O'reilly, and it wouldn't start. So I popped the hood, everything seemed in order, I wiggled my ground wire...
