Ignition Coils

Here recently my 03 GT has been sputtering, bad. Press the pedal down and it doesn't increase in power at all. There are so many theories that people have given me that I am at a loss. Everything from the ignition coils to injectors. Next on my list to try to weed out my problem are the coils. Does ...

Re: Newbie with 04 base with a 6-speed swap

From what i have read and seen with both my '03 GT and my sisters '06 Base, the high idle is normal for these motors especially in cold weather. It's just their way of warming up! If you just let it warm up a bit and come back out when your car is nice and toasty in side, you should be able to turn ...

Re: Can i put a muffler on my Vibe Gt?

A suggestion i would try is a Cold Air Intake. It gives the engine a more deeper, throatier sound. And it gives you more benefits than just a better sound. It gives you anywhere between 2-3 mpg, and 10-11 more horsepower. It may vary with your 2010 GT because of the motor, but all-in-all it would be...
