1999 PA New Owner Mission of Discovery

[bigsky]

I recently purchased a 1999 PA base model, and am in the rather fun process of seeing all it has to offer (also working on a few problems-see post on headlight sensor). Anyone know if this model could have the Gran Touring Suspension? How would I know? The 97 PA I have says "Dynaride" by the headlight switch, while this one does not (however, I do not think Dynaride means Gran Touring). From the owner's manual, looks like the 99's have the cabin air filter as standard. I'm hoping this model has the smaller EGR stovepipe...the 97 is on its third upper plenum (has a smaller EGR now). Of course, plenums still fail with the smaller stovepipe. If you have 99 or newer, when did your plenum fail? Thanks for any input, the Pa's are great road cars IMO.

Your suspension options and all other options, are listed on the SPID sticker located on the spare tire cover. You will see a series of codes as shown in the examples here and here. BTW, feel free to participate in the RPO code listing thread. With the RPO codes, you can identify every option on your car!

Hotz28...Thanks...I had no idea these codes existed! More fun ahead...
Now, if the codes could tell you when and if your plenum will fail (I know, bad joke). Thanks again.
