So just an update that isn't a spam bot reply... I had the wheel off today because reasons that I won't get into and broke the plastic tube retainer for the horn wire. After fixing my dumb fuck up by making a new hole for the tab to slot into, my horn now works 100% properly. Much confused...

Excellent information, thank you. The car is still in pieces as it sits now, so I have time to get a good chip in it for next summer.

Well from what I can tell after having it apart again a piece of thin steel flashing from under the steering wheel nut was sticking up and contacting the horn button plate. This has solved the horn sounding at the slightest motion of the wheel or column. Now however my horn button itself is...

So I just finished swapping a used GN column into my car to replace the broken Cutlass column (LONG story) in my '87 GN. Now if you bump the new column or turn the wheel at all the horn will sound in a constant tone. The horn button itself does not seem to actually do anything. I have had the...

No scanmaster yet, I'm still in the midst of actually putting the car back together. I have solved the idle issue now, it was related to the absolute shit ton of wire under the console for the aftermarket alarm system, and all the shitty electrical taped splices the previous moron did. I used to...

So after digging into my now-basket-case title worthy 87 GN, I have not only discovered some sort of aftermarket alarm system garbage but a Hypertech 41372 chip in my ECM. According to Hypertech it's a non-tunable that provides, and I am quoting here from an email conversation: "Boost to 16 lbs...

I'll know more when I get it apart to investigate. Is there anything else on that side that could be leaking? It may also just be oil burning off, but it's very hard to tell at the moment.

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. Right now it does have a rough, bouncing idle for the first little bit or won't idle at all until you give it a few tries. But mostly I attribute that to it having bad gas in the tank and lines, I've got some fresh fuel in the tank now, that will hopefully...

Okay can do, I'll see if I can find Rotella locally.

Thanks! I'm located in the Kingston area, any help I can get would be great.

Hello everyone, I've been hunting for a GN for many years that I can afford and finally found one; an '87 t-top with 59K, here in Ontario. It's in pieces as the owner had taken it apart four or five years ago and had the body worked over and painted and he never got back to it. So I'm reasonably...
