While I was replacing the supercharger belt and serpentine belt on my
Grand Prix, I tried spinning all of the pulleys by hand.
The serpentine belt tensioner pulley and the 3" supercharger idler
pulley didn't spin very easily as they should.

During some spirited driving recently, I heard half of my serpentine
belt rip off and rattle around the engine bay.
Luckily half of it stayed intact so I was able to go pick up a new
belt and get back home without it disintegrating completely.

My serpentine belt shredded itself a few days ago. Since the
supercharger belt has to be removed to work with the serpentine belt,
I replaced it as well.
I took pictures of the process and wrote up a quick guide.

I have a 1997 sunfire convertible that the top will not go down. I did accidently hit the override switch in the trunk but switched it back. Now the top wont go down. It will however go up using the motor.  Could it be something with the override switch?

I recently purchased a 04 Grand Am and I have several questions: 1. Is
there a source, other than Pontiac, to obtain an 04 vehicle manual
(used is fine)? 2. Is there a Haynes (or equivilent) tech manual for
this specific vehicle? A manual for a 04 Grand Am seems to be hard to

when driving the vehicle the fuel pump makes a humming noise, but will get
real quiet and then the engine acts as if it is starving for gas   if i turn

Time to fix the engine.

I feel like a complete idiot for even asking this...
When my remote was lost last time, I know I was able to turn off the car
alarm manually but I've lost that set of keys again and have no remote.
Now, I can not get the alarm to shut off.

Putting aside all the egos and non-stock mods, I have a basic question:
How fast can a stock 2001 Trans Am, Ram Air 325 HP Car really do?
Thanks for the input.

 I have an '87 Firebird Trans Am and I want to fit some fat tires on the
rear.  I don't have any narrowed axles, tubbed fenders or other such mod to

I recently bought my father-in-laws 2001 Firebird with a 3.8 in it. I
have a friend that recently was t-boned in his trans-am and his dad
bought him a new one. He asked me to buy his LT1 from his wrecked car,
with the automatic tranny, CPU, wiring harness all the good stuff.

I've moved on from the plastic repair stuff to a metric speedo head -
with cruise control.
I've asked this before some years ago.
Instead of making 2 speedo heads (miles - metric), the little boys

What is RIM or RRIM plastic exactly.   Don't need to know how it is
injected or that RRIM is reinforced or that it's black.    I need to

should windshield urethane adhesive.  But what is the stuff?

Well Fiero fans after the 24th of this month I'll no longer have access to

discontinuing the newsgroup service. They say that I can still subscribe
directly via Giganews but I think they want a paid ...

I recently bought this & the lug key is missing (called the previous
owner but he didn't have it). I see that some have been able to remove
it by hammering on a tight fitting 12-point socket. Unless someone
here can recommend a better way of removing this lug key I would like
