    CA Owners - Smog Results

    I'm having difficulty passing smog. I'm JUST passing on the 15 mph test, and am failing on the 25 mph test.

    Gen 3, 2003 Hydraulic Brake Booster HBB - Failure and Fix!

    If you have a Gen3, I'm pretty confident that unless the motor has been replaced, this is a problem that could pop up at any moment for you. I've got 166k miles on my 03.

    Gen 3 - p0171 and sometimes p0174 - possible fix

    After smoke testing my engine, I found a pretty substantial leak from the front of the lower intake plenum, right where the vacuum actuator turns the rod that all the butterfly valves are attached to. I found that squirting some carb cleaner in the area the smoke came from caused the engine to...

    Gen 3, 3.8L - actual engine temp?

    After what I think was a failed fan clutch, which lead to a minor over-heat, which lead to a water pump gasket failure (followed by me forgetting to put the radiator cap back on and emptying out all of my coolant again) I've got my 03 back on the road.... And yes, it is possible to change the...
