    GPS Tracking

    Was thinking of installing a GPS devise in my car in case it gets stolen. The price of the units I have looked at are not too bad, but the monthly fees to allow you to track on line run between $35 and $45 a month, seem a little steep. Anyone had any experiences, good or bad with using...

    Open/Closed Loop Question

    Car starts fine but if you just let it run it will die, I need to keep the accelerator down and run at 1500 rpm or there abouts for about 3 and 1/2 minutes until the temperature gauge hits 140, it then drops into closed loop (solid dot on Scanmaster). When this happens I am good to go. Is...

    Scanmaster Left Display Questions

    Have had my Scanmaster 2.1 for some time and had some questions on the displays. Any of the codes containing the letter T look more like and E with the top bar left off/missing. Does not show PL or SP, just goes from cc to MAL. Do I have it hooked up wrong? Car does have a TT chip. Thanks

    What is it called

    My '87 GN has a plastic part that is on the lower inside rear of the door frame. I am told it is for adjusting the tension on the seat belt, the handle on the driver’s side one is broken off. I'd like to get a new one, but really don't know what the name of it is so I can do a search. Any...

    Factory Spare Tire

    I am told they no longer make the T155/80D16 any more. What does everybody do when it is time to replace it? I got the stock wheels sitting in a shed, pull one out and have a tire put on and throw it in the trunk? Sure will take up a lot more space. Thanks

    87 GN Stock Radio Clock

    The clock changes time if car sits over night or for a couple of days. When you reset it and are using/running the car it keeps perfect time. Radio works fine both AM & FM, power antenna too. It worked fine since I got the car over a year ago, but just started this in the last month or so...

    Power Door Lock Switch Replacement

    Do you have to remove the door panel to replace a power door lock switch? The doors lock and unlock fine with my after market remote, but only unlock using the driver side switch, so I am guessing I have switch problem. Thanks

    Had my battery and alternator checked at Advanced Auto yesterday because as others have had a loss of volts under boost. They said had a drain on the battery, showing 10.8 volts (that seems way out of line-is it even possible?) when placing the meter between the negitive post and the...

    A few weeks ago we were replacing a Speedo in my 87 GN and after pulling off the bezel and plate we noticed 2 fuses on the right side of the instrument panel, not far from the Security light. Does anyone know what these are for?
