I have a stock 86 GN. I have been tinkering with restoring it. The original car was butched up when the previous owner cut aftermarket T-tops in it. This compd the tructural integrity - tweeking the frame. I have a donor car which is an 81 frame and body - rolling chasis- never started the...

Have you messed with the radio lately? I had the same thing happen to me once. It turned out to be the hot wire on the radio, I think the one that goes to the antenna.

I have an 86 GN - Stock. The other day I went out and started the car. It ran while I milled around in the garage. I get in to back it out and it cuts off. I jiggled the ignition switch and the indtruments go on and off. I have taken the entire stearing collumn apart and replace the key tumbler...

Brakes I just had the same thing happen to me. Be carefull if you need to stop quick... the pedal may get hard fast. I ended up changing the powermaster because of a leak in the rear of the pump (I think the seal failed). I am having some problem with the breaks locking up intemittantly...

The pump on my Power master cylinder failed last week. I bought a new unit Saturday. On my to work Monday the brakes started locking up. I thought is was caused by a bad bleed job, so I had a mechanic bleed them that afternoon. Tuesday morning - brakes locked up again. Help!!! Stock '86...

its not shifting 'till the RPMs are higher, like around 4000. I went to have it the emissions tested today and it was almost impossible for their comuter to sync the RPMs. The computer kept loosing contact, but when it did show on their screen, the computer and my tach were nothing alike.

I had my Transmission rebuilt about 3-4 years ago. my car has been sitting for about 6 months. I have driven it abou 6 hundred miles since then. So, my RPMs are really high, and my MPG really sucks. Oh, when I had it rebuilt I put in a 2800 stall converter from Poston and one of their kits (I...

Steve, So, if I have no voltage on the brown wire plugs into the alternator, the alternator will not start charging the battery? I guess I have had old GM's for too long. Those were easy to diagnose.

I have just taken the instrument panel out, I put it back and wallah! The instrument lights work??? All the fuses check out OK. I keep thinking that the "VOLTS" Light in the dash should come on if the battery is not getting charged. I have a ECM on order tomorrow at 8am, so I am not so worried...

The Dash Light are not working, all of the bulbs are good. I thought about a bad fuse for the lights but have not checked it out yet. I lost my book to refference the fuse block. I didn't think the lights and the charging system would have been connected.

The Light does not appear to be burned Out. I have two wires comming out of the alternator. One is on the diod - red wire- the other is a plug with one brown wire comming out. If my alternator is feeding the car shouldn't I be able to dissconnect the negative lead from the battery and the car...

I have just replaced my alternator twice. In the car they test bad, in the table the test good. First, Why isn't my car running off the alternator? Second, Why isn't the alternator charging the battery? PLEASE HELP VERRY FRUSTRATED!!!

Last june the seals in my turbo failed. I have since replaced the turbo. When I let the car idle everything seems normal. When I take the car down the block, it starts smoking like mad. What is the problem? I have let the car run for long periods of time to burn off any residual oil that may be...
