Re: Turn signal bulb not working.
I had a dead side marker and went through the same.
Check the ground that is on the front passenger side. On my SL1 it's clearly visible from above, but you might have to look a bit harder with...

Re: Fail safe thermostat?
That is some serious price gouging! I don't know if it would fit anything other than the S Series car, but maybe GM used them in something else as well.
And cold is not good with a bad...

Re: STANT 14279 theromostat problem
The push type pins have usually come out for me. Just pry the center stub out with either a small screwdriver or wire cutter pliers, then the outer section comes right out. IIRC the splash shield...

Re: Well darn, my '99 SL2 laps oil like a BMW
The Chemtool really does clean well. It got a lot more crap off my pistons on the top end soak than I thought even existed. It could have been also getting some carbon off the tops of the ring set,...

Re: Whats your MPG?
Last tank was just shy of 33 MPG. KInda dismal for the SL1, but hit quite a bit of traffic snarl on my short commute a couple of those days.

Re: Mystery coolant leak
If it's intermittent, it could be a heat soak thing, or only happening when your temp rises up near fan on conditions or something.
I had one recently that took some digging to find. The...

Re: Pictures of my 1999 Homecoming Edition..
Looks great, very well preserved.
A few years back I saw a '99 Homecoming advertised at a local dealer. The price vs mileage wasn't bad so I stopped by for a look.
It was horrid. The...

I'm not sure where people get parts, and where I live I have so many options close that I usually just price shop a little. If I'm in a hurry I just go with who is close and has it, or can get picky...

Well the Stant isn't an OE part either, so what's your point?
A thermostat with a housing will fit. IF the OP has an OE housing the Stant will fit. But buying a unit with a housing is a sure...

Good suggestions on both of the above. If you are getting air through either gasket leaks or EGR leaks, it's not properly compensated for. For that reason the throttle position doesn't jive with...
