    Shout out and thanks

    I went to an air show at Bowman field in Louisville at the end of the summer last year. They had a small car show off to the side and there was a single GN. It was not modified and looked brand new, awesome car. I took about a dozen pictures of the engine bay from different angles to compare...

    TCC lockup wiring

    My car has the condition where the TCC stays locked in 2-4 and I just changed the solenoid. That didn't fix it but I needed to do fluid and filter anyway. Checking pin a&f on the aldl yields 3 volts with the key on, it goes to 0 when I step on the brake pedal. Should be 12 and 0. From my...

    Mind taking a took at this transmission?

    I have no idea what I'm looking at lol. I did a fluid and filter job today and replaced the TCC lockup solenoid, hopefully that fixes my issue. The pictures are not great but I didn't have a lot of room under this thing and I had to finish before the rain hit. Just wondering if anything looks...

    Code 42

    Code 42 popped up while stopped at a red light. Drove home easy with no issues. Ran the trouble shooting tree and it pointed at ignition module. 2 duralast modules, same problem. Today I installed a highway stars AC Delco module, same problem. Cleaned the ECM connectors and checked ECM pins...

    Thermostat housing tip

    Trying to fix my no heat situation after putting a new core in, I decided to do the thermostat. I would swear it was the original by looking at it but it was marked 160. I read a bunch of tips here and unfortunately none of them worked. It wiggled a little bit never budged. What finally worked...

    A few general questions

    I've been resurrecting my GN that's been sitting a long time. I've run into a few head scatchers. 1. What's missing from the horn area? I know it needs a turn signal canceling cam, the top is broke off and it needs the spring and such. But there is nothing to plug it into, the horn button is...

    RPM limits

    Now my GN is still under the knife getting revived, but I was wondering what some older members ( not by age) consider reasonable RPM limits are for various components. I know these are low rpm engines from the factory. I know max hp and torque are defined by heads/cam ect. But from my searches...

    Reputable pcm vendor?

    Are there any vendors that sell pcms? I'd like to go with a recommended source vs buying something from a random parts store. The shop working on my car is thinking the pcm is the reason for no injector pulse. I sent them the no start tree from vortexbuicks today because the new TT chip did not...

    Maxeffort 16 position manual

    I was wondering if anyone had the instruction manual for a max effort 16 position thumbwheel chip. I've googled every combination I can think of and found nothing. There are no files or posts on turbo tweaks website that are helping either. Positions are 0-8 and a-f and the car has a maf. I've...

    Injector swap

    I had an injector go bad and I'm wondering what my options are. They are Siemens 3102 55lb low impedance. The car is in another state and I'm going to have a shop install whatever I order. The problem is that those injectors are no longer produced. Would it be a bad idea to switch to high...

    Fuel leaking from exhaust?

    Long story about this car... I moved to Hawaii and bought my first GN. I drove it for about a week and the seals went on the precision turbo, all kinds of smoke and such. The job I moved there for sucked really bad and I moved to Florida for a better one. I picked up my old car that was...

    Where to get new doors?

    Hey guys, new GN owner here. The car I got needs a new paint job and the bottoms of both doors are too far gone to save (I think) So is there any place that sells new doors at a non-rediculous price? Or is the junk yard my best bet? Thanks. -Pete-

    Doh!

    So I've been a GN owner for about 4 days now, and I've already blown a head gasket. White smoke out of the exhaust, and comming from under the driver side header. I checked the oil and theres no water in it, and the airfuel gauge is reading just above stoich, so I'm pretty sure its the gasket...

I found someone selling "Okada's" car on craigslist.com and went to take a look at it. I made an offer and it was accepted but my...
