This thing (96 Bonne) cranks very slow when it is hot, that is after I have been driving for a while and stop for about 5 min, they crank it. In this case, it cranks very slow but it does start. Normally, it cranks just fine except for this one problem.
I don't think it matters but I have the ...

Problem not quite solved--yet... I replaced the alternator but it still has a hard crank when hot. Slow crank, very slow, but it will start. This only happens when it has running for a while and I have to stop (shopping for a few min). Then it cranks VERY slow, then starts. But it never happens ...

Problem not

Problem solved. It was the alternator. It gave out (lots of noise from the alternator) yesterday just as I was coming around the corner 2 blocks from my house but only one block from my mechanic.
I swear this car has some kind of soul. I was just coming home from work, a trip of 38 miles, all ...

I have a 96 Bonneville and I had to have the fuel pump replaced. So, based on my experience, if you do anything to the tank/fuel pump, etc, ALSO REPLACE THE FUEL GAGE PORTION ON THE PUMP. My fuel gauge went out a week after I had the fuel pump fixed. It is still out, only reads the firs half of the ...

I have a 96 Bonne, 3.8, 242k that has developed a problem that I think may be a starter but I'd like to see if anyone out there has any ideas.
Normally I have no problem starting the car. However,It is slow to start, cranks slow (like a dead battery) only when I have been driving a lot, like heavy ...

My 96 bonne has had many problems since I was given it last Nov (2012). I've had to put about 3,000 into it just to get to work and back (78 miles every day).

Anyway, I've been ready to redecorate the shell with a sledge hammer a couple of times but last Tues was
the time I came close and then I ...

My 96 Bonneville has cold air coming out from the area around the light sensor that is built into the dashboard just above the steering wheel. This air comes out regardless of wether I have the temp on high or not (I have the
auto heat control that I know is broke, probably the control gear).
I ...

Thanks for the good wishes.
It is Sat nite and the car will not be ready till Monday. This means i have missed another 2 days of work because of this car, a total of almost 3 wks so far.
If I look at it another way, It should last me a long time, I've repalced a lot on this car. I just wish I ...

It's getting fixed as I write. May be done in an hour. I'm just very grateful that I have a very good mechanic that is both honest, does very good work and will let me pay in installments (plus I can walk to his shop).
I would have reouted the heater hoses but I need the heat at this time of the ...

Just a small rant here, I've had it with this car. I've had this piece of _ _ _ _ since Nov (my other car (94 olds) blew the engine) and put about $2400 into it, just to keep it running so I can get to work. This while I'm behind on my Mortgage, utilities, etc. pay 3-350 per month on Meds for my ...

My CD will not eject. I can get it to eject after a great number of attempts but is always a problem.
It will play fine as long a I do not try to skip a track or eject it.

Question: Can this be just a buiildup of "crud" or dirt inside the radio?

I just got the car at 232k and I really like te ...

I drive 38 miles each way to work in my 96 Bonneville (233k) and 2 days ago, as I pulled into the parking lot, my upper radiator hose blew.
It could have happened during the 38 miles on the expressway into work (4:00 am) but it held out till I pulled into the lot at work.
Sometimes I think some ...

I really hate computers sometimes. I've bben in the IT field since 1967 and I trully dispise these hunks of wire and plastic.
I tool 3 pics of the gear I found (out of foucus because my camera can not focus closer than 3-4 ft) but I can not find a way to copy and post the pic here. I'm sure there ...

This car never ceases to amaze me. Now, on the floor on the passenger side, I found a quarter size half moon gray plastic gear. It does not appear to be damaged in itself but my money is that it is from the air mix actuator.
This car is like a cartoon, pieces falling out as it goes down the road ...

My bet is on the air mix door being faulty.

I'll have it looked at probebly next week and let you know.


Thanks for all your help, time and knowledge, I appreciate it.

Yes, my Temperature display blinks when I first start up. Does this mean that the air control is bad or the sensor is bad?
???

Thank You Very Much for the info, I really appreciate it. I'll check these out.

I have a 96 Bonneville SE with the electronic heat control and I am wondering what are the
two sensors that are inserted in the top of the dashboard.
They are both on the top of the dash (above the gauges). The first is in the center, close to the windshield, looks like a large jellybean inserted ...

I recently received a 96 Bonneville SE, 235K. Have one real problem:
Heat: I have the electronic control panel.
The user manual says that it takes 20 min to adjust to the inside temp. ?? Is it really supposed to be cold for more than 3-4 min when starting the first time?
My car sometimes gives me ...
