    Is the spring plate under the gas lid to keep pressure on the gas cap -- evap code --

    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 ...

    Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo dies -

    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...

    Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo dies -

    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...

    Electrical gremlin caused car to stall out-ABS + Parking brake light on-stereo dies -

    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...

    Inside of GTS floor wet after hard downpour ---

    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...

    Inside of GTS floor wet after hard downpour ---

    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...

    Is it typical for the voltometer to drop when the fan kicks on under the hood? ---

    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...

    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...
