Any idea why scanner would read high MPH?
I suspect my thermostat and/or CTS is bad, so I wanted to check what the PCM was seeing. It reads a bit lower than I expected around 135-ish on the highway. I'm not confident in that reading...

Re: Interesting article...
Now that I do a lot of night highway driving.... I'm not liking the seat height. Between modern vehicle lights and people running their brights I'm always feeling blinded or people are breathing...

Re: Manual mirrors to factory power mirrors
Many years ago, when I was a kid, I seem to remember a car that had a little joystick for the mirrors, and I believe it was all mechanical. I'm thinking maybe a pair of cables. I don't recall if...

Re: What did you do to your S-Series today...
My car did that just the other day.... I assumed it was snow/ice or possibly a linkage/cable going bad. I'll so a forum search and see what info I can find before it really causes me trouble.

Re: 1997 SW2 Crank but no start, stuck on wiring.
I assumed you had been told that by a shop. That's the first I've ever heard of that happening. It would have to be valves as mentioned by Greg1. Maybe a heat issue with machining by GM a little...

Re: Manual Radiator fan switch advice.
I do not know the answers to your question, but I wonder about your statement about relying on the fan switch. You're in WI. It's not terribly hot there. I wonder if your cooling system is not up...

Re: Annual Angst
If it's not rusty, and you haven't had raccoons living in it, I don't see the sense of a $300 cap on expenditures. A newer vehicle is quite likely to be more complicated to work on, and more...

I dreamed I was at the salvage yard, and some other dork from the forum was there too. A new Saturn came in and somehow he an I both arrived in that car (it made sense in the dream, of course). We...

I should get one of those tools. I used a small flat blade or Harbor Freight pick and patience, when I removed them from the wheel well.

Re: idle is low for first second at startup?
Thanks for the explanation. I do have the TPS issue you mention, but had no idea how that worked.
