Couple of Questions about a 98 GTP

[HotSauceAudrey]

hmmm i have got a great question for everyone! i got a 98 grand prix gtp and like does it have an alarm? because i wanted to get one for my car but i wasnt sure if it had one or not because usually vehicles like those have all the options? and when i got my car it didnt come with the remote because i guess the previous guy lost it

Another question does anyone know a website that you can like type in the car you have and it give you a huge list of things that will work on your car if you were to buy like parts or anything?

WAit!!! another question when i have my car running it has this slight rattleing noise sort of, my dad thought it might be the supercharger, i just want to know if its anything that coule be serious because if like my supercharger is goign to run into a prolem i would like have to replace it those are like 3500 dinero! or more
since ihavent had one of a supercharger i have no idea if this is normal

Hi Audrey,

You can go to the dealer and get a new remote. They will be able to program it for you or give you instructions on how to program it. The car should have the factory alarm on it.

Partsamerica.com is good if your looking for stock replacement parts that can be looked up by make\model. If you want performance parts I suggest www.zzperformance.com or www.intense-racing.com . pfyc.com is good too.

This sounds like classic symptoms of your supercharger coupler having worn out. You do not have to purchase a new supercharger to fix this. In fact, you don't even have to take the entire supercharger off the car. You can drain the supercharger oil, and then remove the snout using a 10mm wrench and a 10 mm swivel wrench\snake wrench set. I've done this before so if you dad wants to attempt the fix have him shoot me an e-mail. [email protected]

read up, you can learn alot

Before checking the coupler, look at the supercharger belt. Is there alot of play? Could be too much play and the idler is jumping around

For OEM parts go to http://www.worldparts.com and as ripn12s suggests check the simple things first. Loose belts can cause an alternator to fail, a car to heat(Not enough water pumping) and a SC to behave just as you have said. If the belt is ok then the SC procedure is in order
