Allow me to introduce you to Jamie https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html call her and ask, also look it up on the website. nipper

OK i got evil out of my system. Evil would cost me well over 4800.00 dollars. nipper

magic wands maybe, lighting candles and sacrificing a chicken, sometimes, but no magic spray (not good for the ozone you know) i would prefer you go to a mom and pop autoparts store, as the quality from the chains are iffy. If all you have is a chain, then you have no choice. nipper

you just want me to get in trouble nipper

i dont even watch the pimp. They wanted to keep the underhood stock, and its real tight under there (rember these are only 4 bangers from gm ...ewwww). They figured they would have a lump of melted plastic (engine parts) if they did it all under the hood. nipper

nope nipper

hehehehe i like you nipper

well since everyone is getting rid of thiers, ill have a good supply nipper

heheh i meant a reputable place for a new altanator. Check all your electrical connections first. nipper

watching Rides on TLC. They are customizing HHR's. One shop had a BRILLIANT:clap: idea, i mean f'n brilliant. They put a turbo on the car, but since its too cramped under the hood, they put the turbo on the exhaust pipe after the rear axle under the floor. Now i can see where you would loose HP and throttle response possibly, but.... hrmmmmm ..... evil thoughts very evil *stares at outback* nipper

HAHAHAHAHA now was it left hand rule and right hand threads or the other way around Did you overtighten the drive belts? Just go anyplace reputable for a rebuild. nipper

The brake calipers are held on by one bolt, and another it swings on. If one is loose you will get chatter. Rule out the ABS, pull the fuse. If you rember your science lasses, you should (i hope) know what frequency it and vibrations are. a vibration can occur at specific frquencies, but not others, frequency being car speed. Lets rule out the abs first. Now how many miles on this. The B solenoid can be keeping the torque converter locked up longer then it should be when breaking. Try braking the car in Low, Drive2 Drive3 and see what happens. nipper

never said he couldnt read the codes, i said i wasnt sure if it would store a code like this since it goes away. i have to get that software If he doesnt have a laptop he wont be able to see realtime nipper

a well maintained car built TODAY should last 200,000 miles. in 1997 the life expectancy on average was 140,000 miles. You did get good mileage out of that engine. Also remember for every bad engine or car there are many more good ones on the road running well. Fine ill take a boat anchor or two ... nipper

if this is a 90, its obdI. he cant see it in real time, and if the CEL goes out im not even sure if that is storing codes on a level where he can see it... nipper

ive visited a freind up there, 2nd to last town before canada (like 100 miles away or something like that. Not only do they drive odd things, but i dont think they know what building codes are either. nipper

Ok here is a list Wheel bearings seized/bad cv joint bent wheel broken belt in a tire wheel balance (can happen at any specific speed but will always repeat) bad suspension component bad tie rods loose calipers warped rotors (they can warp real fast if improperly installed or el cheapos) ABS would not make the car shake, just the brake pedal. APply the parking brake while moving this will maybe help tell if it is front or rear. Does it do it in reverse, or any change in reverse Turning any effect on it? nipper

if they over tighten the lug nuts on the wheels they can warp the rotors. Inspect the tires for broken belts never go back to the guy that said purportioning valve. who did the brakes? What kind of pads were put in Could be improperly installed pads, loose caliper, there is a list,,

well thats the first thing to question. Aftermarket sensors can be lazy, and it sounds like you may have a lazy ensor. nipper

the car is bent. The gaps in the body panels arent the same. The crease in the pillar and dent by the gas door tells you something is terribly worng, as those are not typical damage areas, especially for a crease. nipper

i thnk B is the lock up torque converter, not sure.Are your rotors warped or out of round from having the lug nuts overtorqued? Wheel bearings? nipper

where did you purchase the o2 sensor nipper

Decibles are measured at (i think) 10 feet away from the source to be a proper test. i bought an airhorn off ebay, but its crap. i at leats have wiring for louder horns now, now i need to find one. nipper

DAMNIT MAN i used to like you ... don't give them any ideas:grin: *puts up "deposit old 2.5L here*sign* nipper

i disagree, replace it once and be done with it, Headgaskets while annoying is not a death kneel for this engine. When a honda blows a HG do you replace the engine, no, you fix the HG. It's much ado about nothing. Now if someone wants to give me thier 2.5L with a blown HG since they think its junk, ill take it gladly. nipper
