Hi, Thanks a lot for all! Yes, that little "trouble piece" location was presented in the PDF- file. Now it is in it´s place and the dimmer function is ok. What a job to install that piece!! Maybe also I made the mistake to read the instructions with patience. But the dimmer system is...

Hi and thanks for the good information! Yes, the grease is an good stuff to keep the things in place. But, I don´t know yet where I put that plastic piece with grease when rebuilding the tilt. Hope I find this thing in the address you told.

Hi, I have some questions related to the tilt steering work for 87GN: 1. How to remove the tilt stalk/arm? I tried to turn the stalk counter clockwise to take it apart, but no avail. Maybe I didn´t use the force enough, because of the possible break of the stalk. Anyway there is the threads...

Hi, ok and thanks! I only assumed if the pintle is too far from the unit in the installation phase, the pintle pushes too hard against the step motor inside IAC and the whole unit is gone. But, so far so good!

Hi, thanks but the IAC resettig instruction does not tell the right length of the pintle BEFORE the installation.

Hi, I have an new AC Delco IAC valve for replacing the old one in GN ´87. I would ask, what is the correct length for the pintle measured from the IAC gasket surface to the pintle tip before installing the new IAC without destroying the new IAC ? Or measured from the IAC thread end surface...

Hi, thanks, but I got the right procedure from my finnish friend how to drop the steering tube/axle to replace the headlight dimmer switch in GN. I received the new dimmer switch from RockAuto today. Fine service! Have an nice summer times for all! BR, Buickin87

Hi, what is the right procedure to replace the dimmer switch in 87´GN. Actually, I mean how to lower the steering to achieve the nuts etc. of the switch? Thanks in forward.

Hi, please see the discussion started by Buickin87. Could be the corrored ECM and chip connectors/pins, you can´t see the slight corrosion. The advices I got in this forum helped me. Pull out ECM cables and chip and put them back and use, if needed, the electronic cleaner spray very...

Hi, the intermittent bad idle and rich condition lasting a couple of minutes after the start up has probably gone. I pulled out and back in the ECM connectors and the chip an as you proposed to do. Every start up is fine and the car runs fine, it was the invisible corrosion in the connectors...

Hi, ok,I would put to the connectors the cleaner, thanks! And for earlier answer regarding MAF. There is no MAF in our GN anymore. I run with MAFtPro. Regards, Pentti

Hi all, as I reported about the ECM pins and ECM wire connectors as well as chip pins, there was not any dirt, corrosion etc. To day the car started ok, ran fine immedialley from the start and ran fine all the day, again. So what would be that intermittent problem occurred two times: after...

Hi, I pulled out ECM. There is not any contamination, corrosion or wet in the ECM pins and the cable connectors. Also I pulled out the chip from ECM; no corrosion or other bad things. Everything seems to be fine. What next to check? As Indicated, the problem is intermittent and thus quite...

Thanks for all people, There is no rust or something bad things in the ignition cable ends. The all six AC Delco ACR43 plug tips were all black, but not wet, when I pulled them, when the first problem occurred. Quite new plugs... But, Now I have to check the ECM- connectors and the chip for...

Hi, there is some weird problem in our GN. The car ran fine all the day and left it in the garage for the night time. Next day I started it an it started immediatelly to run bad, sputtered or so, like only three cylinders were in action and it ran rich. After a couple of minutes it started to...
