[quote=”Black57″ post=37495]Upon inspection of the fuel system I found that the gas tank has a big spot on it that looks clean ( like gas could possibly have leaked or is leaking) also when I remove the gas cap there is no sound of air release. Could this be a potential cause and is it necessary for the tank to hold pressure for adequate fuel pressure at the rail? Any info is appreciated![/quote]
since metal gas tanks are no longer made its not that common for plastic tanks to leak unless they get cracked from some undercarriage damage. did you try spraying water on the plug wires and manifold gaskets when the engine is running?

[quote=”Lord Ihcalam” post=37454]depends on where you have it fixed and how much time it takes. my local former chevy dealer quoted me 250.00 per window if I supplied the parts.[/quote]
would it be cheaper/easier to just convert the window to manual? the Window regulator is the same for manual or electic window

Although a CPS was a recall for a Dawoo Lanos it did not apply to my car via VIN check the only sensor to apply to my specific car was O2 sensor and recall or not i have to pay for it as no place will do recalls on a Daewoo anymore

[quote=”college man” post=37418]There is a procedure to reset the light. here is the procedure.
is this how you did it?Yes. I have done it both the switch mode and the stereo method maybe its due to the fact i have never driving the car for 30 min in a straight line since ive had it

I am not a car expert. This issue does sound like a Fuel Pump issue bases on the symtoms you specified. A common thing for the car does not surprise me any from knowing people with Pontiacs the Grand Prix in particular they are nothing but problems and will always require money to be dumped into them left and right. Have you tried revving the shit out of it once you start it? this should stable it out from my experience[/quote]
Yes, if you give the car gas while you start it then it will have no issue starting but this is not a solution and it is putting a bandaid on an underlying issue. I have cleaned the throttle body and the MAF. Perhaps the people you knew with Grand Prixs didn’t maintain their vehicles properly and did things like reving them up to start instead of fixing them. I will be checking the pump but only after I have eliminated things that are much cheaper i.e. filter, plugs, wires, etc.[/quote]
I just mean revv the shit outta it until the issue is fixed and no one i know has done that i have done it on my 01 Impala a couple time because it was sputtering i just gave it gas and it cleared up never happened since. of course that was before i changed to oil since the oil change it has not happened.

[quote=”college man” post=37407]what do you mean it never worked again? The tpms will
only activate if tire pressure is to low.If there is no
low condition.Then there is no problem.[/quote]just as i said it has never said “low Tyre Pressue” again and i have aired up the tyres atleast a dozen times since the light last worked this last time one tyre was next to completely flat

[quote=”college man” post=37406]I came up with a different answer for the p0432
main catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 2http://engine-codes.com/p0432.html%5B/quote%5D
its not a O2 sensor cat issue the mechanic told me it is a Camshaft sensor issue maybe i got the code wrong it could be the P0342 code ill have to double check the code. State of Minnesota doesn’t require inspections so ill just yank the Check Engine bulb out when i upgade my dask lights to LEDs as well as the AIR BAG light the car is a 2001 is driven less then 3000 miles a year and only has 42000 miles on it i dont see much going wrong bad enough for the engine light to come on i was told by a mechanic that only time to worry about the CEL is if it is flashing
