Re: Water slushing inside doors
Common problem. Just clean the drain holes that are covered by a small piece of weather stripping.

Re: Engine misfiring
As mentioned, might be time to pull a valve cover, inspect the valve train components and see what the valves are doing at idle.

Re: Pontiac G8 / 9C3 Key Stuck in the ignition
Here are some pictures of the repair I made on some 9C3/G8 shifters that I acquired. Pretty easy fix if you have a lathe, some numbered drill bits and a dial caliper. All of the shifters were broken where the roll pin goes through.

Re: Pontiac G8 / 9C3 Key Stuck in the ignition
I have repaired a couple of G8/9C3 shifters by machining a small piece of Delrin rod and making a new section of the white rod that the roll pin slips through. The ones I repaired were broken where the roll pin pushes through. There is not a lot of plastic where the pin is located. I can see where s...

Re: New Member intro.
The shifting is a little slow to respond when manually shifting. I find myself bumping the rev limiter sometimes. When the shifter is in manual mode, the DOD does not activate.

Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
I have had GEICO insurance on Caprices for about 5-6 years, but only carry the bare bones liability. I have always had to call them to get one added to the policy.

Re: New Member intro.
If the production numbers are accurate, there is only 1 2012 9C3 Hugo in the US. Would love get ahold of a Hugo 9C3. They are a good looking car all shined up.

Re: 6.0 engine pull tips/tricks?
I pulled an engine/trans as a unit due to the engine being locked up from digesting water. I didn’t want to pull the torque converter out of the trans while it was still bolted to the flywheel. It is a pain in the rear to pull it as a unit unless you drop it out the bottom. If you are only going to ...

Re: Engine misfiring
If you have cylinder misfiring, you should be getting a CEL. I believe misfire detection can be turned off with HP Tuners, but I may be wrong. Get a noid light and see if you are getting a signal to #7 injector. Might want to run a normal compression test and also a running compression test on #7 al...
