So awhile back I bought a Regal LOVE the car fits me great. I have done lots of work, but still alot to go. Even so much as a newer 3800 series 2 from a 2002 monte carlo dropped in. Today I replaced my power steering pump. Worked out great, even though I am fighting off my Rack and Pinion leak, Lucas Oil it doing fantastic till domes day comes.
Still figuring out why one day I went from getting 34mpg to 10mpg. I am back up to about 20 now. But I have changed all plugs and wires, fuel filter, flushed the coolant system and refilled with dex cool, new thermostat, also did the full sea foam treatment, Cleaned thottlebody, installed Cold Air Intake. I was also having a Bank 1 Lean issue, It was a Fuel Vacuum Hose I noticed that had a crack so I replaced the Vacuum hose. Also all Fuel Injectors are within the Same OHM reading of 12.4 - 12.6 which is in Specs which is 11.8 - 12.6
Also it seems that my back and fourth seat motor is bad, so I need to replace.
The Trunk Actuator seems to need replaced. I have to use a key to open the trunk. The button on the Fob works and the Trunk Release in Glove Box works. Clicking noise is made when both are pressed, just no release.
The horns don't work, both steering wheel control nor panic button on fob INOP. Tested on multimeter and not recieving full voltage. Believe that new wiring may need to be ran to relay center.
That is my write up for now. Any Advise Accepted! :smooch:
