Hello my name is Quentin,
I currently own a '99 Alero GX 3.4 sedan, I have been meaning to post some pictures, but alas, I broke up a family of racoons last friday, and just got done re-fiberglassing my lower front bumper, it could be worse, I nailed a skunk the weekend before, I guess some animals cant see white. I have been a fan of this site and have gotten some good ideas, which I appreciate. I reside near Princeton Illinois, and am a graduate of SIU in Carbondale, class 04, and have been scrambling to get my car ready for the yearly homecoming, and i am waiting on my new back end to arrive, ( SUBS and AMPS) while doing several little mods here and there. ANYWAY i got a couple of questions that i would like some ideas and answers on (I am not too lazy to search, I own my computer consulting company which I will blame it on lack of time)
1. MY GAS GAUGE, my gas gauge is fun for road trips, basically I started the night on full, and after about 240 miles and going down to a quarter tank, my gas gauge begins a steadly march to full, by the time it reaches full again that is 10 gallons used.
2. dual tip dual exhaust what is a appropriate kit to buy borla, pacesetter 88-1474, etc? I dont like fart cans ( they are only applicable if you have a turbo,) if you no turbo, i pull over to point and laught at them
3. when i open my doors the lights dont come on, any door, i have to roll the light switch or hit the dope light, if it is bad relay, where is that relay located? I was leaning more toward it being with one the switchs but what do i know?
4th but not least, when i bought the car, 122k for $2400 (I put in 1800) i did not notice, but there is a delay of 5 seconds or longer, from the time you take the car out of neutral to drive, that the transmission stays in neutral, then the you get engagement. no sounds or wrrrs. it just takes 5 seconds. I am leaning towards the bands going bad. price comparison, easier to have it rebuilt or order a rebuilt one 4t45e
