i got my 85 Coupe DeVille aboud 8 months ago and there are a few weird little problems that need some attention:
1. There are rear levellers in this car, but the back end is almost on the ground (so obviously, it isn't levelling), but I don't know, and don't know how to find out if the compressor is bad or the levellers (bags?) are bad. I would really like to get it off the ground--i live in an apartment complex with a ton of speed bumps that assault my back end every time i drive.:crying:
2. I'm also getting some hesitation in the lower gears, usually between 15 and 25 MPH and then again between 40-45 MPH and occassionally between 50-55. After 55 the rid is fine, but I live in the city and spend a lot of time in the lower gears. The plugs were replaced by the dealer when I bought the car, but a thorough tune-up wasn't performed (to the best of my knowledge--it sux to get a great car from a shady dealer). Could that be all it is? or should i worry about my tranny?
3. My dad replaced my left rear wheel cylinder and rear brakes, we also bled the air out of the line and the brakes work fine, but soon after I returned home (Charleston, SC to Columbia,SC) the brake light came on and stayed on. Like I said, the brakes work fine, but should I still be worried??
4. This one is kinda funny (saved the best for last deal.) I live in a hilly area with bad bumpy roads. Whenever I go over bad bumps, I hear a sound that is kind of like dropping a sock full of change down an incline. It sounds like it's coming from the rear and at first, I thought something was loose back there. I checked the tailpipe, all the rear chrome, the spare tire fittings, everything I could get my hangs on an jiggle a little, and everything seems fine... Any ideas? It's really annoying....
