Re: Overheating, Radiator Fans not turning on

A/C refrigerant pressure was low so the compressor wouldnt kick on nor the fans. Charged it up and everything works as should. Probably have a leak I need to find.

Overheating, Radiator Fans not turning on

When driving around car wont go over 200 degrees, at a stand still will heat up to 210+. Whenever it reached this temperature I would shut it off and let it cool down. AC does not work nor does it turn on the fans. Unplugging temperature sensor makes fans run by default. Ive swapped around the ...

Re: 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE Intermittent Issue

I swapped the coil packs and it ran 10 times worse. Bad enough I had to limp it home and put in the old coil packs to get it driving again.

Re: 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE Intermittent Issue

It's been probably a year or so since I've replaced spark plug/spark plug wires, but about 3 months ago I had a coil pack go out and I tested all the spark plug wires for continuity with and ohm meter bending them in all different shapes and it never broke continuity which led me to test the coil ...

Re: 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE Intermittent Issue

I'll pick up some coil packs when I'm on lunch and I'll report back my findings.

Re: 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE Intermittent Issue

Anything is possible, but I've gone through 4-5 ICM's in the past 5 years and it's never acted like this plus it threw codes relating to misfires when they did go bad. which I'm not getting right now. Same with coil packs. They usually die on the spot and not intermittently in my experience. Every ...

2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE Intermittent Issue

I have a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE. I've had an intermittent chugging issue that has progressively gotten worse. It feels like I'm pressing the gas pedal and letting off rapidly even though I'm at a constant acceleration. It happens on two occasions. 1) hard acceleration(3k+ rpms) in all gears. 2 ...

Re: 02 bonneville sle Passenger side windows issues

What a confusing day. I took out the front passenger window motor, tested it, worked like a charm put it back in and got nothing. Then I put 12 volts into the connectors and somehow that fixed it. Runs up and down smooth. :dontknow: and now the passenger rear will go up but wont come down unless ...

Re: 02 bonneville sle Passenger side windows issues

A little update. I used a light tester on the passenger front and rear windows. When i tested the passenger rear window by touching the relay wires i could hear the regulator moving, since the light tester is attached to ground, makes me think i have a grounding issue. good news so far. When testing ...

Re: 02 Bonneville SLE/Transmission

I found out the front transmission mount was broken. Replaced it and dumped a bottle of lucas transmission fix, took it on a test drive. It ran really well, and shifted well. Until I sent it through an intersection a little too hard and broke the input shaft in the transmission. :roll:

02 Bonneville SLE/Transmission

I'm new the forum so bare with me. I own a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SLE w/170,xxx miles. I've had a hard shift between gears for as long as I could remember but showed no immanent threat of leaving me stranded so I've payed no attention to it. A new issue has occurred, as I'm leaving work I put the ...
