05 grand prix gt need some help

well i went to Walmart (cheapest prices) and bought some MAF cleaner, throttle body cleaner, new filter to do the job. the K&N filter was gross and have some leaves in it. i recharged the kit if anyones interested in it. I cleaned the throttle body with a brush and my filters, tonnnns of black stuff came outta that, then cleaned the MAF as well. Put it all back together and the first initial start was a little tough to get going, but it was from all the carb cleaner. after a min of running, i turned her off and back on and it started right up and very pleased!! runs amazing now..

As for the reverse lights and interior lights, i lookd at the fuses in the dash and in the hood and nothing was burnt out or anything. i was making sure somone before me has them all in the right place. I saw one that wasnt up enough in its spot, so i moved it and plugged it in. It didnt have anything to do with interior lights or reverse lights, idk what the hell it was, but it made everything turn on now! reverse lights and ever single bulb inside the car. super happy about that too.


Im working on a "clunk" in the rear. is there anything that goes back often back there?

Also in the front while turning i can feel a ticking in the wheel, buddy said it was the Intermediate steering shaft. Anyone do a replacement on this? how hard money etc etc. I guess they go bad often in newr GM cars. But let me know thanks!

Leaves? Yea...not to great LOL

Good deal you got the performance side of it figured out.

what about the clunk from the rear......need more details.........does it happen at low, high speeds? while turning only? after bumps in the road...etc. give us an example exactly. I have no idea with the steering section.........never done it or known anyone who has.........glad to hear previous issues are resolved.

The clunk is mainly on slower grounds going over bumps. its like a rattle persay. its just so hard to me to hear where its coming from. i went under the car and it looks fine, but i want to check the stabilizer links next.. doesnt matter if im not turning or turning.. thanks guys

Strut Mounts or Shocks?
