hello, I am finding more often now, if my car has a "good" start, she will run well for an entire trip. All SM numbers in spec, smooth idle etc. Now if I have a "harder" start. meaning it will take some time to fire up, or may even need a touch of throttle to start, then she runs less well...

hi, I've been out today in the 87 Gn, and its idling a little rough. Once checking through the SM, I could only find the crosscounts (CC) readout acting differently. Sometimes at idle it would just sit, sometimes the numbers would climb normally. Sometimes while cruising steady it would just...

hi, this occured during some hot weather this past summer. while slowly moving(start and stop) in heavy traffic, I would notice my 87 GN stumble when coming to a stop. I scrolled SM and found my IAC compensating by rising to over 85 at idle. once driving off, these numbers would drop, but again...

Hi, My car is still carrying its original paint on most of its body. there was a damage repair done while previously owned. The condition of the paint is becoming more difficult to maintain, and I am wondering if there are proven materials and methods to bring it back to its former shine and...

Hi, I have discovered a fluid leak coming from the steering box, lower drivers side near the front wheel. The hose connections at the box are wet with fluid and when I checked the reservoir, it was quite low. I have topped up the fluid at this time. I have a hydroboost system from an Astrovan...

Hi everyone, I dropped my car off this morning after a 15 minute drive for a car wash next door. the attendant just called(about one hour later) saying that the car wont start, battery dead!! I have gone over and had cables put on it, and I can read SM readout showing 12.9-13.0 volts,but all it...

Hi everyone, My leaking astroroof has gotten the best of me and I am hoping to purchase the replica kit from GBody soon. Is there anyone in our area that is known to be experienced with this job? I have only recently had my headliner replaced and not only is it getting wet when out in the...

My 87 GN seal has deteriorated and now leaks into the car. Are there factory replacements or jobber replacements available? Many thanks Jim

Aloha everyone, My wife and I have planned two weeks at the Orchid at Kona in March. the hotel charges large for daily parking, and we don't have a need for a car each day. What are practical alternatives for transportation for some site seeing around the island. Are there buses? Any tips on...

Mike has done it again! Part packed so well UPS could learn from him. I will recommend him at every opportunity. Many thanks Mike. Jim

I have done a quick search and found no directly associated info, so here I am. On the occasion, my car will backfire on startup. I thinks its through the intake as the last two events caused my idle to increase. A couple of weeks ago it happened, and the idle jumped up to 1100-1200 rpm. I have...

I posted my sighting of this car in the south west section, just wondering if the owner was a member here. This car I saw at the Palm Springs Airport car wash last weekend was absolutely immaculate, and I wanted to congratulate the owner on their fine care of this rare auto. I don't the number...

I was returning my rental car at the Palm Springs airport on Saturday morning after a week of R and R with my wife in the Coachella Valley. Parked at the airport car wash was the car running "PS GNX" plates. What a stunner... I could not stop as I was running a little late, and I am not one of...
