Hey,
I traded in my 04 GP for an 08 GXP with 92000km's on it. Love the car, but I have a few questions, as these cars seem to have a few difference. I've searched the forum to see if I can find anything with no luck ( but I'm also not the brightest with computers)
I was wondering if some of the things I'm noticing with it are normal or not. It's got a full bumper to bumper warranty for the next 2 months, so I'm planning on using it if needed haha.
1)buzzing sound once key is in the ignition at the on position. Stays on all the time whether the car is driving or not, sometimes randomly goes louder for 20 seconds, then back down. Sound like a small air compressor or computer fan...Is that normal? And what is it?!?!
2) I've noticed the tranny shifts a bit rougher than my 04 GP under heavy or normal acceleration...but it's not bad at all. Just more that I can feel it shift now, where as in my 04 you wouldnt feel it shift at all. Also noticed ( I test drove two GXP's before I bought mine and that one did it too) that it requires quite a lot more throttle imput to get moving than my GP did, as if the torque converter has a higher stall or something.
3) on tranny questions...is it normal for the tranny temp to get to 212F* when driving around town normally? And have it go to 218 when I drive it a bit harder?
Last question...what is this little black box in the picture? It only has 5 wires, a ground, power right off the main power cable with an inline fuse, a blue one going to the 1st spark plug, and a green and a white wire going down into the bumper somwhere...is it factory? if Not, I might as well take it out.
Thanks,
Cris
