Some new issues...

Whats goin on everyone, havent been here in a while, my sister has been using the GTP now (i sure do miss that supercharger power though ), but its got a few issues, she says it shakes when you get over 60 and the rpm's drop. im in school now for automotive service technician so my school has all the tools and lifts available for us to use on our own cars too. im gonna try to get it in there this week, lift it, inspect everything and pressure test the cooling system. what should i look for with the shaking issue though? i know the plugs and wires are about a year old give or take, im also going to run the code scanner too. btw if anyone forgot i had the red 98 GTP

Re: Some new issues...

is the shake because of a motor misfire problem, or is it a suspension problem? Most of the time when people say that it shakes when it gets up to 60mph I first think of maybe a tire/balance problem.

Hey Mike, nice seeing you again. It sounds like a scan is in order so we're not all just speculating.
