Re: 05 SE and Maxjax

That is a great gift.
My brother in law has 2 lifts.
One you drive on and also 2 post type.
He has a pole barn which has plenty of head room.
I would love one but do not have the head room so I go out by him to work on things,

Re: I reckon it's bath time

I gather the roads she drove on aren't paved.
I can't remember the last time my cars were that dirty.
Of course now being retired I have plenty of time to wash cars.

Re: Penny the 2003 SLE

I can not understand why brake lines are not made of stainless steel.
All these safety items (ABS Air Bags Seat Belts) required by the government but nothing about the brake lines.
To me Brakes are more the most important thing on your car.
Glad you were not hurt or totaled out the Bonny.

Contact Andrew at Bonnevilles Unlimited.
He has good used OEM ICMS.
Price is a lot less than $200.00 and they are not that cheap China junk!!!

Or wants to do any research or work to find things out.

Re: The winter beater saga...

Another green brilliant idea from our government.
I'm sure it originated from the great state of California.
I sure wish I had that feature of my Bonnevilles.
Speaking of gas regular is now $4.12 a gallon here in southeastern Wisconsin.
The price jumped $.65 a gallon in the last week.

Re: Mass air flow sensor repeated failure??

You have to realize that when it comes to electronics China is not the best quality.
Over there they cold solder plus there are impurities in their metal.
It is cheaper and that's why they do it but quality is not good.
The solder joints have a tendency to crack and open up.

Re: Mass air flow sensor repeated failure??

I also use the Hitachi MAF0047 and have had no problems.
It is a high quality OEM part not like all the Chinese garbage out there.
Price is $80.00 from Amazon.
One day delivery.

Re: All switches on driver's door are dead

Like Andrew said I would replace the master window switch.(I got mine from Andrew)
I had the same problem on my 2000SLE and replaced the switch and it took care of the problem.
You do not have to remove the door panel to do this.
About a 5 minute job at the most.

Re: Valve cover gasket replacement?

The size is 27mm.
I bought a deep 27mm socket and it works great.
Also use a stubby extension on the ratchet to make it easier.
It can be done with oil filter on but it is more accessible with it off.
5 minute job with oil filter off.
As far as brands go I have been using Auto Zone.

Re: 2003 SE Engine breaking up at 4100rpm

The best MAF I found for my Bonneville's is the Hitachi MAF0047.
I buy them from Amazon.
I have never had a problem with this brand.
I believe they make them for GM.

Re: No start, cranks, spark, fuel pressure 40psi

My brother in law had a problem on his 2001SLE.
Twice within a month red squirrels had eaten through the injector wires.
I would check the wires and see if they were chewed on.

Re: 2005 Cobalt LS

You have to use your washers or they will clog.
My wife for some reason doesn't use them on the white pearl Bonneville and they clog up.
I don't understand it and when I get into her car you can barely see out the windshield.
She says she is afraid the windshield will freeze up.
