J ammon, you really need to have this car evaluated by a Gen 1 specialist, if following usnavystgc's protocol doesn't help narrow things down....
This is still true, there are no aftermarket cats for sale in Cali. But the post you just replied to was over 2.5 years old... It is worth...
Chris_13, do you see used Gen IIs come up for sale at $5K on a regular basis? I've yet to see that around here unless you are talking about a Gen...
Side impact totals are rare. All of the value is in the front as far as the body goes, and it is mostly the same through MY 2009. A person...
Depends on your drive pattern. Bakersfield to Fresno is a lot easier on the hybrid system (I will go so far as to say ideal) as compared to...
Just FYI, a Red Triangle warning on a steep hill with no stored diagnostic code means low oil. Could have been so much drag inside the engine due...
The engine won't always stop. If HV battery state of charge is low, then the engine will come on or stay on to charge it -- and you will feel it...
No, 12V is not the problem. Thank you for providing your location, it is helpful to know that you are climbing real hills. It is a problem with...
In an area with mountains, a dying HV battery will have its fan running on high a lot and have seemingly no power at a certain point when climbing...
A few months ago, we went up to Denver and back in the Gen II. It still has the same Optima battery D51 that I put in 3 years ago...the one that...
Paul, I suggest driving that motor until it just won't go anymore. I suspect part of noise/vibration and oil consumption comes from excessive...
Cool. I was thinking about this the other day when I rotated tires and noticed additional howling.
It may not be the original culprit but would contribute additional consumption problems. There is no clear answer, but I was curious if those...
FYI, the two motors that I have torn down had worn main bearings. I had a chance to drive one of them before pulling the motor and there was...
Maintain, yes; service, to an extent. Valve adjustment jobs are extremely rare. Given that the car runs fine already, and there is always the...
Given that the car is right-hand-drive, you may be out of luck. But scour the breaker's yards, it is possible that you will find one, since the...
Get a second opinion RE: wheelbearing. I pulled a hub assembly off a scrap car that looked good in every way, turned freely with no wobble or...
Absolutely, the aftermarket has a shorter life expectancy. I was addressing the emissions converter efficiency, which I suspect is minimal, since...
Without a cat, it is probably still better than the Monte Carlo lowriders that we have in our neighborhood. I don't know the difference between...
I apologize for being a little too flip. I have corrected my post accordingly.
