How I so wanted to keep her....... but I just cant at this time. Plus the srt 4 is my new project.

Thankfully, I sold it to drews friend. And he seems to absolutely love these cars with the passion I had. He said he is going to supercharger it which that car has been dieing for lol

So I really wont be on here much. Just to catch up and see when there are meets.

You guys are a bunch of amazing people and I thank you for all the help you have given me.

Best of luck to all of our guys future builds and future rides.

I'm pretty sure we can get the blue one down to $14-$15K but she really likes the silver one.

Also, does anyone know of a good forum for the Equinox? Or does anyone know of any problems they have? We have looked at both at the dealership, and both have moisture in the passenger headlight, but that looks like it is it on the outside.


Edit: This is the GP GXP she is looking at

We are trying to fix it ourselves and can't even get the answers we need. HELP!!!!!]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:36:17 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28704-98-monte-carlo-z-34/ New Stalling Issue, Heeelp! http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/27792-new-stalling-issue-heeelp/
So the issue is that my car stalls on me.

I need serious Help!! The dealership cannot find anything wrong with the car. And as bad luck would have it, everytime I take it in there, they cannot get the car to die on them.

I have a 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo SS (Series II 3800 V6)

At first it was only happening at idle or very low speeds of 5MPH or less. The car would either restart in 1 try, or it would take me about 8 tries to get it to restart. But it always restarts.
Now the car can die at any time. Just recently it died on me when I was on the freeway going 55MPH. The car just shuts off, no power, nothing, I end up just coasting to the side of the road and restarting it. Also I get no check engine light. Lately I have got a Red Battery light after it dies on me. But that just may be a product of the car being dead in the water, and not what is actually causing the car to die.

Other things I have noticed: The car seems to run rough sometimes and seems to shift much harder. When it runs rough, I know it will die on me once I get it going. One time I was stopped at a stoplight and the engine started to Rev all by itself, and the would drop down to almost 0 RPM's then go all the way up to 2,000 RPM's and back down to 0 again. Most of the time when it dies I am at a stop sign or stoplight and as soon as I take my foot off the brake and hit the gas, the car dies. Recently when i have been on the freeway it seems to have problems when I try to accelerate above 50MPH and has died on me 2 times when trying to accelerate above that speed.

I have replaced my Fuel Regulator, I have had full electronic diagnostic done 3 times now, I have checked the MAF and had it cleaned. I have checked my Air Filter and cleaned that. The dealership is at a complete loss, they are getting no codes, and the car runs just fine when they hook it up to their diagnostic equipment, even when driving on the freeway. They have not been able to get the car to die on them. It dies on me everyday, I do not understand how it does not die on them. They have even had it for 2 days now and drove it 6 different times. Rotten Rotten luck.

There is all the information. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT IT MIGHT BE???!!! I simply cannot drive this car on any long trips now, its just too damn dangerous. I need help here. Any thoughts on what might be wrong with the car would be useful.

This is the "make-up" for the December 12, 2009, radio show I hosted. That evening, WRMN had issues with its online streaming; only people in the greater Elgin IL area were able to listen. I also hosted the show December 19, 2009, and a holiday edition (all Christmas music) the afternoon of Christmas Eve, December 24. I pay WRMN to host these shows to play songs that bring back memories, even if the whole world has forgotten:

** COMMENTS, DECEMBER 2009 **

John, Elgin IL Jaycees:
"I've been listening to your CD Showcase.... I really like your selection of songs...I love those old dusty songs from the 80's that remind me of those long drives to grandmas house on family vacations. I'm going to spread the word about your program."

Dave (twomanymontes), New York:
"It's not what I listen to, but Hey that’s what friends do...Support other friends!"

Joey R (Chevy_Crazy), ChevyTalk:
"Listening live to your show in Newfoundland."

Dennis (taught by my grandfather, Virgil Weimer), Edmond OK:
"Way to go Cort; thought I would drop in and say hello from me and all your friends along Route 66.... ... I liked your 'small world' vignette."

Lorraine, IL, ValveReplacement:
"You sound so good on radio! Glad I got to hear you again."

Scott B, Shelby Township MI:
"Lovin' the mix! Sorry I missed the previous shows. You've been great today, as has the set list."

Bill, RacingOne:
"You sound great, keep up the great work!!! Thanks for the show Cort"

Mainly the problem was that people were not willing to pay $5 for a 15" decal and we found it very difficult to have a worth while profit on pennies a sticker that most seemed to want to pay.

So I want to hear what the community thinks.

Please take a moment to answer the above poll. It will help us in considering if and how we might start selling decals again.

so now that im already out the labor cost im wanting to go ahead and upgrade the converter so that i dont have to go threw this problem again later, i've looked around on zzp, intense, milzy's at the upgrade options but this is something i really havent messed with much so need help matching the best option for the upgrade.. right now im running a 3800 with complete msd system, dhp pcm with adjustable timing and a/f ratio, 55hp shot of nitrous, intense shift kit, and couple other bolt ons, i do have future plans to do a l67 top end swap and up the shot a bit and of course at that point an engine rebuild with better internals.. i want it to be a street/strip type of setup..

How much of a stall should i upgrade to for best results and also by changing the converter like that is it gonna affect the pcm will it need any kind of reprograming to adjust? and by upgrading it what if any are the added risks of it putting more strain on the rest of the stock tranny, i dont wanna have to turn around and replace something else for making to big of an upgrade, any and all suggestions, tips, info, knowhow, whatever will be much much appreciated, i need to get the part ordered so i can get it fixed. sorry for such a long post but thanks again and let me know..]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:44:08 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28600-torque-converter-questions/ Coolant Leak 3100 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28693-coolant-leak-3100/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:31:04 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28693-coolant-leak-3100/ Sorry http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28690-sorry/ hey all... im sorry i havent posted on here in a while... my car was backed into last month and last saturday... i was involved in an accident. ill post all pics.... time permitting. i am getting the monte fixed as we speak.

Tools Explained

DRILL PRESS:

A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:

Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, sh*t!"

SKILL SAW:

A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS:

Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER:

An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:

One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:

Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race..

TABLE SAW:

A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:

Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW:

A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:

A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:

Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:

A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR:

A tool used to crumple the $200 metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER:

A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:

Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object you are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:

Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use..

SON OF A b**ch TOOL:

Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "Son of a b**ch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:23:55 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28656-basic-shop-tools-explained/ New To Me 06 Monte Ss http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28679-new-to-me-06-monte-ss/

Behind the old monte..

Posted Image


Just thought I would mention 4 cyl mode..
Posted Image
Only had the car for 5 hours, but so far im loving 4 cylinder mode..Or Active Fuel Management as GM calls it...4 cylinders shut down, and the V8 runs in V4 mode, running on cylinder 1,2,3,4...So far I noticed today that under light accelaration, or in while just cruising along, 4 cyl mode will turn on at about 35 to 40mph, and normally stay on unless there is medium to heavy acceleration, or going up a steep hill...While cruising, mileage is 26 at the lowest, and 29 at the highest..Definitly something I like, as where I live every road has a speed limit of 35 to 40...So far I have noticed no noticeable lag when gunning it while in 4 cylinder mode..


Other impressions...
Handling - I don't know if it's the larger wheels/rims or what, but this thing hugs the ground wayyy better than my 01 did...On tighter turns while accelerating, I had no problem navigating them, whereas if I was in my 01 i would have had to had a somewhat hard grip on the steering wheel and been continuosly turning it..

Steering - Not sure if this is just cause it's newer or what, but the steering is also better..Takes less effort to turn(not that that is a problem for me, just stating it as a plus Posted Image ) and also seems a little bit more responsive.

Seats - Much higher quality leather..Seats are also much more comfortable, giving more lumbar support(big thing for me)...Gave a few of my closer friends a ride and this was the first thing they all said when they sat down.




Don't plan on doing much to the engine really, Because of the inherently weak transmissions and all the horror stories i've heard about them..Looking into getting a transmission cooler, but Not sure, I'll have to research it a little more...Or the aluminum pan that ZZP sells.

Will probably get black rally stripes, tints, the projector headlights, and possibly red L.E.D. tails..but im not sure on them, I actually really like the 06-07 tails.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:49:45 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28679-new-to-me-06-monte-ss/ Ha http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28576-ha/ that is all Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:46:51 +0000 http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28576-ha/ Gauge Cluster With Leds http://mymonte.com/discussion/topic/28684-gauge-cluster-with-leds/ http://autolumination.com/194.htm.
