    Hi all. Just bought a '97 GTP and, unfortunately, I got ripped off. Didn't notice a lot of things during my initial inspection. After I got it home, I noticed that it was missing a lot of screws from the front end and the guy I bought it from had more spliced wires than should be allowed by law. Having said that, I need to fix a few things so I can flip this POS around. First, it has a really rough idle at times - almost liked it's cam'd. Also, fans worked for about a week but now they aren't kicking on. Anyone have any thought about the rough idle? I'm going to try replacing the relays for the fans before I get new motors. Third weird issue is that I can either remove the key but not shift out off park without using the release OR I can shift out of park but then when I shut her off, I have to use the key release. Lastly, I've been using 93 but I have a knock so I'm thinking about putting some octane boost in at the next tank to see if that helps. The knock is definately a new problem. Thanks for any tips or help.

    Define audible for me... I hear it at idle and it gets faster as you rev to a point.
