Re: Shock Question from PM

I got mine from Amazon - Good price, and I have free shipping with Amazon Prime.
Though, if these are the shocks you're referring to they are NOT identical to stock - They have a larger Diameter shock body, among other small differences.

Put 30k on it so far. Not a lot, considering it's been almost 3 years.

Seconded, all my Bonnevilles (All N/A Series II, with both transmissions) could spin the tires just fine.

Re: Oxygen Sensors

I wouldn't worry about the rear one unless it's throwing a code. It doesn't affect anything, it only monitors.

Re: Intervention!

Well there's not much I can do about it. Although in the conditions on the day of the first pic (16" of snow) it wouldn't have made a difference! I couldn't even come to a stop if I wanted to keep moving.

Re: Intervention!

Nope, that always happens when i drive through fresh snow. Just the aerodynamics.

Re: Shaking at highway speeds

This is a common problem on the 00+ models. I've had it for a while now and new tires or brakes did not help.

Re: Tinted windows in Minnesota

I have 50%. In cloudy or indirect light it looks great, in bright sun it doesn't even look tinted.

Fuel level sender question

My fuel sender is going wacky, and it might be a bit before I replace it.
Does the DIC "fuel used" parameter use the injectors to calculate? It would give me a better estimate than just using my trip meter if that's the case. If it also uses the sender in those calculations it's kinda useless.

Re: Ign adv

That will also depend on the car, the temperature, and the gas being used. KR is a separate parameter which some scanners can read.

Re: How did you find pontiacbonnevilleclub

I don't even remember to be honest.. It was probably sometime around 2007. One of the earliest searches I did here was how to change the water pump on my 1997 SE, but i don't think that's how I discovered it.

Re: The newest car in the stable

Yeah this one is turbo. I'd say it's about equal to an N/A bonneville in speed. It just doesn't have that off the line torque.

Re: The newest car in the stable

Funny enough, the passenger side blade was gone completely. I was able to cut down the rubber from an old wiper blade and slide it on the metal bracket that was there. Not perfect but it works for now.

The newest car in the stable

2002 Volvo S40, It's actually my sister's. Spent the nice weekend working on it. I have to say, it was a joy to replace the plugs on a straight 4 cylinder engine. The just pull straight up! Sup with that? :dontknow:

It is in really nice shape, and actually moves pretty well for a 1.9L

Regal engine noise (whine)

My sister is looking for a car, and my dad test drove a Buick Regal that had a noticeable whining noise while the engine ran. It sounded kind of like an alternator whine, but didn't seem to be coming from the alternator. It increased as you accelerated, but was hard to pinpoint. I shot a quick video ...
