Re: '95 Bonneville having intermittent starting problems

similar issues. sometimes does not crank- just like dead, 2nd try fires right up.

last year there was a blown main fuse on Instrument panel right hand side "maxi"-fuses.

Re: BRING BACK PONTIAC

i would say last bigger fuzz about pontiac over here was the "lunar" transsport minivan of early 90s. it was like moon car, and sold really well, with chryslers voyager. still many around.

Re: No heat

clean the core. you need to do it from small hole under the main relay center in engine compartment.
spray brake cleaner on the core and rinse with water. note that water will go to co-drivers legroom.

if it backfires, that hints it gets spark atleast a bit, so it might be with fuel or with ignition control module at "distribrutor"
