Ok. I'm about 1000 miles into this rebuilt engine. Can anyone tell me why I would still be smoking? It smokes terribly when I downshift and anytime I am braking after exiting the interstate or after traveling at high speeds. 99 Seville STS. Here's what was done: Jakes head kit installed...

Hey Guys, my 94 FWB got it's ignition stuck in the lock position. I tried both sets of keys. The ignition turns forward and back to accessory, but does not start or release the steering column lock. Any thoughts??? Thank you, Nick (aka bmwnick)

I have this screeching noise occasionally coming from the front brakes when I apply them, I was just wondering what it might be and how I could fix it?

Rumor has it that the Hi Flo cats that have low cell counts (200-300) can cause the exhaust to emit smoke when they heat up. I've had a few folks tell me that on track days the see some light colored smoke coming out the back at high rpms. Usually later in the day. We've never been able to...

Just out running errands in the STS today, noticed a clunk and a little rise in the front end when I put it in drive. There's a little clunk when I let out of the throttle too. I've been reading around in Ranger's motor mount thread, sounds like it's time for one of Jake's mounts. No more WOT...

My tire pressure monitor in the car says "----" on the front driver's side tire. Before I've attempted to take off the wheel and check for a flat, I used a manual guage on the tire and it reads fine. Any help guys? It's 2006 with runflats still on.

on my 94 STS with 164K miles. Car had a bad oil leak from previous owner, wound up being the oil cooler lines. I removed the oil filter adapter with all the cooling lines and installed a non oil cooler filter adapter from a parts car I had. Both O -Rings were in place. I changed oil and used a...

:hmm:what is going on?stop engine. low oil pressure warning on dash. check oil and its full. only happened twice.

On a 1985 Deville, is there a schrader valve built into the fitting on the accumulator where the low pressure switch is threaded onto? Thus, I can remove the switch without having to discharge the system?

working on converting to 134a and want to check low pressure switch to making sure ok before charging. also going to check for leaks, where is the most common places to look at. been years since r12 leaked out(over years and has never been serviced or opened up. of course will replace...

Yup, scared the CRAP out of me (again). :yup: Been driving the V like it was a two stroke (WHOO HOO!) and a friend of mine and I go to lunch. Go to leave and alarms go off and I get a "SHUT ENGINE OFF /NO OIL PRESSURE" warning. No knocking or other horrible sounds except for my swearing that...

So I go on a road trip and this code pops up and tells me I need to service this item... where is it and what's involved? Thanks guys...

Low oil pressure light just came on. Stopped the car, then restarted, oil pressure light went out. Any idea why that happened? Going on a trip in a few days so I hope it's not a problem. Any input is greatly apprectiated.

Hi everyone. I have a 1998 deville that had the oil light flicker intermittently in traffic, really only after along drive and when stopped. As soon as the rpms are over 800 it went away. Every once in a while i would get the "oil pressure low - stop engine" message. I went ahead and...

I had my oil changed at Wal-mart over the weekend (Mobile 1 synthetic w/ Fram oil filter). After driving the vehicle for about 30 minutes, I got a "Low Oil Pressure - Turn off engine" warning with the non-stop chimes. When I drive the vehicle, the warning goes away, but once at a stop or idle...

Was wondering what tire pressure worked best you people to get traction with stock PS2 tires. I ran a 1.73 on 32psi in 78 degree weather. Im hoping others have experimented with this and can shed some helpeful hints so that the next time I hit the track I can do better.

Hi, I'm having a new issue with my catera. The oil pressure shows about 60PSI in the morning (cold engine), then when it gets hot the pressure drops to about half way or less while driving. When I come to a stop or traffic light it drops down right to the first white line (I think it is 10PSI)...

Ok, last thread for the day! Now has anyone smelled there oil and sniffed a hint of gas after experiencing a low oil pressure problem with there cars? I noticed after my oil pressure can lit up after idling at a stop light and pulling over to check my oil level that it smelled of gas. I got my...

2005 CTSV starting alarming overthe weekend "No Oil Pressure". Powered down. Oil volume and appearance looked normal. No bad engine sounds. I had her towed to a seasoned mechanic. After sitting 2 days, he took it for a ride and oil pressure began reading 37-41 on the guage after a mile. Said...

Anyone have an idea where this is located? The one on the line I think is the high pressure port, as my pressure gauge doesn't fit on it. I think the low pressure port is actually located on the accumulator(?) itself, but want to be sure before I add freon. My A/C crapped out, and I think it's...
