sounds like the problem I had last year turns out it was my brake pads , rotors, and a hub bearing all bad

Think it could be a strut mount or a
Cv shaft? My brakes feel fine

[MYMPSICK]

that screching could be your brakes, there not that expencive i bougt thoese duralast gold pads the ceramic ones and i have a lifetime warenty on them, the clunking probly meens you need to get you transmission checked.

[MYMPSICK]

replaced powersteering pump and resivour and rack and pinion and i still have that wiring noise ever time i turn.

Driver side lower door molding is ready for paint, only to find out it is warped and won't install back correctly (middle section on the bottom wont be tracked in) so I need to figure out what to do about that.

Exhaust leak from the front and the back of the crossover, my awesome-o package I ordered over a month ago still isnt here.


Probably going to pull the front header and the crossover, clean them up, and try re-sealing them. Also LTFTs are sitting at 16.4% at idle, so I need to track down a new vacuum leak.

RR tire has slow leak, ebrake doesnt hold which is preventing a good sticker and power steering whines when I beat on the car. Other than that car is mint. 00' GTP.

I forgot to mention I saw two cars on the side of I-75 today, all of whom had the donut tire on - and in both cases the donut was blown out.

seriously, don't they say specifically NOT to take those on the highway?

[REDCRAPGP]

What makes you think your pcm is bad? You probably just need to reset your tps and compass.

this thread http://www.grandprixforums.net/showthread.php?t=85802 hes got a code for a bad pcm.

dealer will ass rape you on the PCM. best to find a used one. they sell for like 40 bucks used sometimes. dealer 5 to $600 easy.
