3100/ 1996

[frekey]

i was wondering, can anyone tell me if i can physically clean my fuel injectors? has n e one done this? i really dont think that the "bottled" solution works. also where is a good place to get ga 3100 aftermarket parts such as headers. also does anyone know where i can get projector headlights

yes frekey you can clean those injectors, but if they are original 96' they may just need to be replaced. What makes you think they are dirty?

Heres a link for some web sites with stuff that might intrest you.http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=502706

I dont know if those headlights are available for GA's but check the link abive or Ebay has some headlights and tails. Good Hunting

my performance is bad. when i step on the throttle it feels boggy.

Try some Lucas Oil injector cleaner. Has the PVC valve been ever been changed?
Air filter recently?
Plugs and wires ?

Their are several things that would make you car feel boggy, esspecially since your car is 10 years old. I'd try those I mentioned and it 'should' get better performance.

i used many different types of cleaner but never lucas. i recently put in bosch platnum 4's which made the engine run much smoother but still boggy. thats why i figured maybe the injectors are filthy. and as for the pcv valve; i am constantly cleaning off a mysterious white sludge. i dont know what it is but im sure its not good.

bosch platnums are not really a good plug for GA's. They tend to burn up fast.
Ya the white stuff would probley be moisture, a little is norm from short trips.

do u recomend a good plug for the 3100? i hear they call for platnum. there is quite a bit of white slime on the pcv and the fill cap as well!

the Ac delco Iridiums are the best I've seen in years, and they seem to last longer than regular Ac D.
Those platnums I'm not sure of, havnt seen or tried them. They are probley really expensive because platnum is high right now.

Well chances are if you hav that white stuff on your oil cap and on the PVC I'd say you hav an internal leak. The intake or head gaskets may be blown and thats why you hav No power(performance).
BTW hav you checked the dip stick? Does it hav the white(chocolate colourd) stuff too?
I'd take care of the leak if thats what it is, if coolants in the oil it'll ruin your motor quick! Due to inadaquate lubrcation. If you arent able to find the leak, or fix it, I'd take it somewhere to get fixed sooooon! ASAP!

thanks. i never saw anything on the stick cause i recently changed the oil. i may consider just swaping the 3100 for the 3400. seems pretty easy! the 3100 got like 330 000 km any how. its my first car so you know i drove it like i stole it and its still kickin so i cant complain.
