Re: Back already............

Thanks Bryan...........she's hitting 97,444 miles, switched engines for one with 40,000, so engine has about 60,000, but car is almost 98,000 miles old.

Back already............

Just bought a new battery for the Hawk...it was time and I am daily driving in a few 0 degree days. She's in a carport, but will be in a heated garage soon :) OK.............ticking noise emanating from the right side of the engine, or so it seems. It only starts ticking upon acceleration and is lou...

Re: she's all mine finally

Four years ago I was able to pay cash for my Hawk...........$11,000. I am guessing that I have put that very same amount into her since then..............such a deal ! If I came into $$, I would build a huge, heated garage and purchase every Hawk for sale................oh yeah, get the mechanic off...

Re: You knew I'd be back..............

It was an oil pressure sensor............can't find an oil leak. Now if they would only plow the 8" of snow off the streets, I could get her back home.....@@ BlackHawk - Thanks for the info on the ground wire........I'll bet you're right on.........

Re: You knew I'd be back..............

This began as the LT1 and I switched out for an LS1 almost two years ago.............ALTHOUGH I have some doubts.................no red box. The original engine had a good 80,000 miles and the newer engine had 40,000 miles. Unbelievable mechanic, with a small problem with meth.........@@ So, God onl...

Re: You knew I'd be back..............

Do you have an MSD or other aftermarket ignition in your car?


Not that I know of..........what is an MSD ? But the car was in pretty rough mechanical shape when I bought her. I will check the ignition..........thanks !

Thanks ! You don't live near me, by any chance ??????? Longmont, CO ????? Yes, I was going to go where I could get a code pulled.

You knew I'd be back..............

OK..........small oil leak............BUT....."check gauges" light comes on ONLY when car is stopped. If I hit the accelerator when stopped in neutral, light goes out and when I accelerate light goes out. Any ideas ? And the beat (dollars) goes on............

Installed new radiator...........instead of buying those killer pair of Manolo Blahnik stilettos.........small oil leak still showing.......see small amounts of oil on driveway. "Check gauges" light comes on sporadically and only when car comes to a stop. Going to have "Mr. GTO" take a look at that,...
