I had some jellowjackets build a nest behind the passenger side mirror glass on my 01' GTS.
Now the mirror will go up and down but not left to right , its jammed.
I read somewhere that the Mirror Glass can be taken off by itself somehow.
If thats true , what are the steps to doing...
I took the spring plate off from under the gas lid to fit a locking gas cap on my 2001 GTS while it was parked outside for awhile.
I started throwing the p0442 (small evap leak) / p0445 (large evap leak) codes.
I put my stock gas cap back on and it was still throwing codes.
I then...
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
Thanks for the recommendations guys.
That's probably what I will end up doing.
I went out today to start it up and it wouldn't hold an idle until the 3rd time I started it and gave it gas immediately ...
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
Yeah I called and cancelled on my way home, they said an hour anyway LOL! ---
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
Im starting to think it may just be my Optima battery.
They take charges REAL slow , and if its already at 12.0 before being started ... the strain of it being started and an amp/radio draining it immediately...
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
Thanks for that , I thought it was a little low but acceptable.
Is there a little bit of a loss from the battery to the remote positive under the hood?
I will probably load test the battery after I pull it...
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
OK, I checked under the hood at the jump point with a multimeter. Here is what I found:
The battery when off was at 12.05 ... then after a 5 minute idle with the car off it was 12.15.
With the car started...
Re: Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo di
Does your voltage gauge drop slightly when the fans kick on?
Mine does, and I am starting to wonder if this is an alternator issue instead?
Can the alternator be checked with a multimeter...
I was just stalled out in the middle of an intersection with ZERO power ( couldn't even open my door from the inside ).
When I first started the car I noticed the ABS light was lit up w/ the parking brake light. I put the parking brake down and both lights went off ... so I went on my trip...
I'll have to look for the flat tube rubber drain you are talking about.
I realized the water went through those grills into a small hole but I thought it just dumped it to the ground, I didn't realize it was connected to the HVAC.
Thanks for pointing me where to look for something to be...
My car was parked in the rain yesterday during a pretty hard down pour.
I got in to drive today and could smell it was musty so I touched the floor.
The passenger side center of the floor was pretty wet to the touch (not a puddle) in a 3-4 inch circle, and it didn't seem to be wet...
I noticed my voltometer gauge goes down from 13.9 to around 12.9 when my e-fan kicks on under the hood.
Is that typical?
I guess I am trying to figure out if I have the stock fan set up or not ... the reason I wonder is my car seems to run cool. Its how I expect it to run , but when I...

Looks like $730 worth of mounts (tranny, engine, and differential) ---

I cant get snakeoylproducts.com to load up , but I noticed when I clicked it ... this came up " http://www.viperpartsusa.com/ " in the address.
That link actually works ... says its a DIVISION of SnakeOyl...
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
Yeah, I am not a hardcore drag racer or anything LOL. I just go once a year to try and get a personal best and have a little fun.
Im not even competitive. I go with full weight and run it like I am at a...
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
I forgot to mention I am on 20"s all around with 345's on the rear.
Thanks for the idea though Heath :).
I wish I could share my friends vid he took of my run ... you can hear the hopping and screeching LOL ---
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
I think you may be onto something NI-KA ... I am running 3.73 gears , so it may make the situation even more obvious now that I think of it ... if you suggest it is something with differential mounts.
I...
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
Can the transmission and engine mounts be seen easily if the car is on a lift to inspect for cracks?
Ever since I owned the car, I noticed that when in a higher gear keeping the rpm low (under 1500) ... if I...
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
I think I may still have the stock shocks actually ... they are the blue Koni (?) and I have Eibach lowering springs which may have helped to wear them out.
It feels great during regular driving.
The car...
Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01
Thanks Fatboy.
I was told on another forum about the Woodhouse Engine/Tranny mounts too.
Then I was told maybe new tires and shocks too?
I appreciate the heads up on the other beefy parts you...
I went to the track tonight and got my first wheel hop in my 2001 GTS.
It felt violent , but I got lucky and nothing broke.
What modifications can be done to prevent this?
I'm pretty new to IRS rearends. Ive fixed this in a solid axle before but things are a lot different.
Is...
