    Rear 6x9 deck speakers blown - Options?

    I bought a Bazooka tube with 6” woofers. 4 ohm. I think if you run them in series they drop to 2 ohm. I need to do that.

    What to do with 2001 LS?

    Here is something to consider...for the price you have to pay to repair this car, what can you buy? My thought is it won’t be a car nicer than what you have now. Plus, the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. It might be worth it to fix it and keep driving.

    Wet / Dry performance tire recommendations

    The Continentals were Extreme Contact DWS 06...and of course I got an alignment with the Pirelli's. If you want even more information, it was bad tie rods that caused the rear end alignment issue. I wasn't blaming anything on the tires I was sharing what information I had on Continental tires. I...

    Wet / Dry performance tire recommendations

    I had Continentals and a bad rear alignment tore them up fast, like 1000 miles fast. Tires were toast. Same happened to a buddies friend. I now have Pirelli P Zero All Season and their grip is amazing on wet and dry pavement. Only thing I don't like is that I can feel EVERYTHING on the road...

    Oxygen Sensor Questions

    Thanks for all the replies. I am learning new things as I troubleshoot a hard start condition when warm. The cats seem fine. Everything seems fine sans a fuel injector or something. Thanks!

    Oxygen Sensor Questions

    A bad cat would have other symptoms and throw a CEL right?

    Oxygen Sensor Questions

    From what I've been reading, upstream sensor voltage bounces around and downstream voltage should stay consistent. I am monitoring my 02 sensors via Forscan. It seems that the upstream sensors are working as expected. The downstream, well, I have one that I've observed around.74 - .85 volts...

    Cranks for a while but starts

    I cleared them a few weeks ago when I changed my COPs. That means this new calculation is pretty current. I was reading that a dirty MAF can cause incorrect calculations due to an incorrect reading. I think I should clean that, too. Thank you Joe

    Cranks for a while but starts

    I think I am at a point where I need to focus on the where the fuel is going, cylinder or back into the tank. I have a mechanics stethoscope coming soon. I will listen with the injectors with the car on and off. If there is a leaky injector, hopefully I can hear it. If not, looks like i need to...

    Moog Tie Rod End exploded in 5 miles

    Eh, they are not as fun to drive. You've got a keeper.

    Cranks for a while but starts

    I've really got myself confused... I tried this last night, car has beem off for almost 3 hours: Turn key on, connect iPhone and open Forscan. Fuel Rail Pressure is 26 PSI. (I do realize this action caused the fuel pump to cycle once, leading me to believe the fuel pressure was very low)...

    Cranks for a while but starts

    I was able to find camshaft position sensor level in Forscan. (It was "low" when the car was running in park) I was not able to find the crank position sensor level. Does anyone know if it goes by another name?

    Cranks for a while but starts

    If there is a long crank, the exhaust will smell rich, but just on startup. Once the car is running, the rich exhaust smell no longer continues. I do not have a noid light to see if the coils are being fired. Seeing that this issue doesn't happen when the car sits overnight, I would have to...

    Cranks for a while but starts

    The plugs were replaced right before I purchased the car. They have about 4K miles on them. Outside of the misfires, which only happen on startup with the long crank, the car runs fine. No poor idle or rough running. The car runs like a champ. When the car starts after the long crank, the...

    I assume Forscan can show me this? I can get this done sometime this week. Thank you!

    Cranks for a while but starts

    Joe, thanks for this. Maybe the misfires detected after the long crank qualify for the engine running rough, but it's so short it's hardly noticeable. I think I need to pop the fuel rails off and see what's going on with the injectors. Let's say it's not the injectors, is it possibly a sensor...

    Just bumping this...it's getting buried. Any info on the floored pedal when starting would be appreciated. Thanks! MisterRoy

    Cranks for a while but starts

    Oh, and my battery is at 14.21 while driving. It dropped to just under 14 a few times at a stop, but only briefly when I turned the rear defroster on.

    Cranks for a while but starts

    I know it's been a while but I want to reply to this thread. I've replaced all the coils and this long crank when hot issue still exists but I have more information. I've been looking at Forscan information when this occurs. The car is recognizing misfires when the crank is long, anywhere from...
