Can someone help me out if they've came along with the same issue. I recently was doing a transision from 87 to 93 grade gasoline. I've had it in for about 2 weeks now with two full fill ups. Then just yesterday I got the code P0171, could this be from the gas change? The car isn't used to the...

Recently, I purchased a 2011 Cts Coupe (3.6l rwd). I installed new spark plugs and ignition coils. During the installation I noticed that the spark plug on the driver side rear cylinder had oil covered on the end of the plug. I am not sure how long the previous owner had been driving the car in...

So I searched and could not find the answer to this problem. My service engine soon light came on and my car could not switch my fans into high speed, so my car could not cool off. I would get to 230 and it would stay there. I took it to the mechanic today and he found that the main 30a fuse...

While driving on the freeway about 70mph, the lower engine shroud on my CTS came unbolted and the airflow pushed it down into the pavement and got half ground to pieces. Being away on vacation, we had to drive up onto a curb to get under the car and take off the last 3 bolts that were still...

So I figured I would share my crappy week with everyone. My check engine light came on and my mechanic said it was something that had to go to the dealer. I take it there and both timing chains needed to be replaced due to stretching. This requires taking the motor out of the car...Sooo...One...

I live in an apartment, far from my family and family house. I do LOVE to spent some quality time with my car and have some small projects and repairs. But the main problem is I don't have a place! Indeed this is a common problem in large cities as far as I know. Street is not a good option at...

I am doing some research on installing a driver's side power window module. One web site said that it needs to be reflashed/reprogrammed. I called a Cadi dealer in town and they said yes they can do it for $100. I then called my local ASE mechanic who was a Cadi tech for 20 years up to 2008...

Okay, So in follow up to my earlier post about the slugfest that is my Brougham going up a hill....it's at the shop for a full tune up today. The mechanic took it for a drive up and down the escarpment access and said it was misfiring at lock-up, whatever that (lockup) means. I know I was...
