    Matt, yes it has the roof rails. fivefingerdeathpunch, it is missing real bad. I drove it 5 miles from his house to mine tonight and anytime i would give it over 15 percent throttle maybe, it would start flashing the CES light which was already on. it's a pretty clean car with normal wear and tear for being 12 years old.

    Is the car stock? Hopefully it is.

    And yes, buy new ac delco stock replacment plugs and some wires and figure out which code the car is throwing.

    matt im from Hillsdale, it's about 15 minutes from the quad cities. and yes the car is bone stock. im planning on using it as a daily driver while i locate another long block to build the engine that i really want. But to do that i need to fix this engine problem first.

    well didnt even bother hooking it up to the scanner, it's got a bad LIM leak right by the elbow, it doesnt have any coolant in the oil, but it explains why it would be missing. have to get the gaskets and replace them this weekend anyone have any ideas on how long it takes to do it? I just did the LIM on my grand am and it took about 8 hours. i guess it's good cause it has a bad oil leak from the valve cover!!! might as well replace it while im in there along with a new thermostat.

    Pretty much. GM doesn't produce them nor do any aftermarket companies. I have seen people pay up to $250 for them. Personally I think they are ugly as hell, but many love the ugliness on their car.
