Lou has not been his usual preppy cheerful self past few weeks (humm, instead of term "under the weather" can we use "under the GN" ?) . Wishing our craftsman well. Hopefully a little mutton soup will cure all.

Luv her, but she not dependable. Runs normal for awhile, sometimes 20 min, other times an hour, then it starts acting like out of fuel & quits; wont start , let it sit for about 2 hrs & it repeats cycle. And/or, running fine going someplace, turn it off & it won't start, like it's out of...

Are there any recommended shops in Central or NorCal? Having ignition/electrical issues. Cam sensor checks ok & swapped out ign module & coil pack for set known to work. Car ran fine for 20 mi or so, then all over again. Poor starting led to running poorly (like loss of power) & had to baby...

I instantly first thought of engine damage, then felt hopefully only a gasket. Started with that dreaded tap, tap, tap, rapidly becoming quicker & louder, pulled over & then realized (God, I hope so) is a gasket. Limped the few blocks home, seemingly loosing power along the way & made it up my...

Rotated cars last night so could drive GN to work today. All was ok. This morning GN no power, not even that click click sound. Always have good Optima batteries, but things happen, so hooked up charger. That's odd, overhead & interior lights are on and doors are closed. While charger still...

Hay Joe: I was comparing my old/new smog check reports and notice that all the early ones have a little box with fill-in HEP (or such), then more recently box reads High Emitter. This is for all years, starting in 1999 when purchased & passed no problemo. Only had 2 failures in 15 years (one...

I thought it was just clumsiness that the filter sock fell off when I pulled the FP from gas tank. Now I have the new pump affixed/ready to install...& I see that I can fit the pump & float together into tank, or the pump & filter, but not the pump, filter & float! Nothing fits going straight...

Got new fuel pump, but how heck fit it into tank? With the float off to one side of pump & that darned plastic filter/sock sticking out at right angle I can get either pump with float into fuel tank, or pump & sock, but not the float AND filter. Try cram or wiggle the sock & it just falls off...

I'm thinking have a bad fuel pump anyway. Took wife to car show, on leaving thinking of dinner car started mild sputtering & had to coax it with gas pedal mixed with periods of running fine. Took it home & changed cars for going to dinner. This morning it will start, run 3-4 sec & die of...

Hi Bill/guys: AC repair friend tells me AC compressor needs replacing. For '87 GN, believe is an AC Delco, PN 15-20525, I'll want original-appearance so do you have NEW one can ship? I'll install myself & friend will re-charge system. I'll be gone a month beginning July 29th, so no hurry...

Replaced the leaking heater coil & had to cut those 2 pre-bent hoses that fit outside the heater coil cover. Made my own, but would prefer original style ones, used is ok must be in excellent condition. Also need that pressure cycling switch that screws onto AC accumulator. Mine won't cycle...

Tore up my hands last weekend replacing the AC condenser (anal u know, cleaning & repainting everything within country mile), to find out today that problem is heater coil. Thankfully B4 freon injected I mentioned steam billowing out of defrost vents when turned on heater ??? Shop said would...

AC was changed over to r134A 'bout 3 yrs ago. Lately only marginal cooling so had serviced & shop said was little low on freon but for a bigger improvement should get a new condenser compatible with r134A. I like to keep the car stock-appearing, but want as best a unit that will fit/work. It...

Some time ago when releasing the ER brake, the pedal seemed to come up further than normal with a thunk, & brake light stayed on. Pushed pedal back down, pulled release handle & with foot I controlled the pedal's upward motion & as it came up I saw that the brake light went out, but came back on...

Some time ago when I released the ER pedal, the brake light stayed on (& the pedal seemed to come up higher than normal, not sure?). Not a big deal, just makes one little nervous/check pedal when driving, but otherwise all well. Just few days ago when released e-brake, the brake released but...

Considering repainting '87 GN & would want to replace all the rubber window trim. Mine's fine, but hate to see where the new paint is masked off at the trim or any overspray, so would have old removed & new installed after car painted. Obtainable? Thanks.
