Okay, so I had my engine scanned again for codes and besides the lean condition ones (see link: http://pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=29114 ), there are three others that I think were ABS codes. The codes are OBD II codes; B1283, B1294, and B1295. Anyone got any insight on what ...

Kinda reviving an old post here, but I didn't really want to to start a whole new topic. Okay, so I had the engine scanned again for codes and besides the lean condition ones, there are three others that I think were ABS codes. The codes are OBD II codes; B1283, B1294, and B1295.

Could I get a picture of the EGR pipe and where it is on the engine? Not very mechanically inclined here (at least not yet )
@01bonneSC I know I haven't, not sure if they've been changed in the past

Thanks, I'll have to look in to that. Where can one get a scan like that?

I haven't, but I have cleaned it with MAF cleaner.

Okay, so this past weekend, I worked on it a bit with a buddy of mine who's good with the 3800s. First thing we did was of course replace that pulley. Sure is nice to hear that whine again. :wink: Then we replaced the valve cover gaskets on the front bank to fix what appeared to be a very slow leak ...

Thank you very much for the info. I'll check that out in the morning.

Not completely sure when this started. I think it was right after I gutted the intake I had the cruise control go out on me, the traction control turned off and the service engine soon light came on. Took it to the dealer and long story short, it was throwing a lean condition code. They replaced the ...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I found a few tiny rust bubbles by the gas cap
Not to mention the headliners gonna need some repair soon, if you catch my drift

Thanks for all the comments everybody!

Beast, I'll have to get on that

The head unit is a Clarion CX501. I got about the cheapest, yet decent double-din unit I could find.

And about those wheels. As much as I like 'em, they are a PITA to clean!

Finally got some recent pictures of the SSEi. Only changes since last time: new head unit, debadged and tweaked the tint on the tails. Had to get a new head unit because the stock one wouldn't play cds for me. Oh, I guess I did gut the air box, but thats not very evident in the pictures.

So anyway ...

Awesome! Thanks Eric! I don't know if my wallet is gonna like me here soon haha

Where did you get the LEDs for your headlights?

The videos don't make it too obvious that anythings wrong. The easiest way to tell is to actually drive it.

Well, my car is still acting up, after I thought I fixed it. :evil: I've replaced and cleaned the MAF as well as replaced the TPS because both threw codes. The car does not idle smoothly as demonstrated in the first video. Second and third videos show how it kind of revs higher than need be under ...

Well, I don't know what the problem was, but my car is running like normal now. Thanks for all your help guys.

Well, I removed the maf, but when I did it made the car run a lot worse. Where is the IAC located? I apologize for my lack of mechanical experience, this is a good learning opportunity for me.

It doesn't seem to want to stall anymore, but at times it just doesn't act like it knows when to shift.

where is the maf sensor located?

Right at idle it stayed on but was at about 500rpm. It was when I just feathered the throttle and let off that it would stall.

About a week ago I was driving through a car dealership, not going more than 5mph and I noticed that my engine turned off. It turned back on fine, but it would continue to stall at anything just over an idle. I took it to the dealer I bought it from and had it diagnosed. Their machine said it was ...
