Congrats Mariachi,

Maybe I can sneak in at the later months of 2013 with these mods....

I had a great time, see everybody on the flip-flop.

Thank you Kitt222, and Vibenvy.

This is going to be great, I am totally pumped, Saturday morning, I'll will be at Bayou Bluffs Camp ground around 10am if not earlier. (set up tent and stuff) Feel free to cruise over anytime, it is less than 1/2 hour North North West out side of Pontiac, in Cornell IL. http://bayoubluffs.com/Bayou_...

Breaker-breaker, who's your maker? Roger that...

I am still camping at Bayou Bluffs, rain or shine.

Looking forward to meeting fellow Vibe fanatics.

See you at the Cruise Night at 5pm, if not earlier.

Peace,

Nitetrain

Long story short, I found out I had a clogged secondary catalytic converter. Now I am running strong.

Yes he had a great time, he was the one to pick out the GTR too when we walked by it. It was fun explaining to him about rat rod style, ghost flames, gassers, tri-flow carburation, and he did know already about turbos and superchargers. Thanks, let do it again next summer, or when ever, I try to be ...

Good times . . . had by all.

Truck tune had the best price of 316 USD, http://www.trucktune.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; based in Georgia, the cat was shipped from California, go fig.

Well, I took a look and low and behold . . . NOTHING. The used car dealer "gutted the cat"!!!

I put on a magna-flow, sounds good & no more check engine light!

Cool, I am totally geeked! And Nitetrain will be all geeked-out soon, which includes some new paint and an engine steam-clean, some time before Sept 8th.

NT

OK, that sounds like fun,

I vote for September 8th to meet up and take a look around at the Morris, IL Cruise Night. 6:00-9:00pm.

NT

Yes diffinitly, before the summer is over, but the fall has potential too.

Let me know When,

1 evening (dinner or couple of hours kinda thing)? Overnighter (camping)? I dunno, whatever.

My domesticated living space is near Belmont and Cumberland, Elmwood Park, IL.

It is funny you are suprised by the lack of power from my Vibe, because my wife and I have been debatting, Why we were getting our butts kicked up the hills and on level ground. The drive by wire is sensitive, but . . . I do have a P0420 code engine light. Niow while driving with this coded engine l...

I Cyclo-cross . . . West-side Chicago . . . Up and Down the Des Plaines River, All Day.

Careful, because there ain't nothin', but Trains, Planes and Pains, in the good ole town of Des Plaines.

Roll out,

I plug in my laptop with the elm scanner 5 cpu diagnostic data reader and graphs.

http://www.scantool.net/

It only reads the CPU, the more expensive ones read EBCM (electronic brake control module) + other networked linked computers in your Vibe.

Happy Trails,

NT

While driving to Montana and back, I constantly was getting my but kicked on the hills and highways, because everybody owns a V8 Ford, Dodge or Chevy truck. But, I did have it loaded down with a total of 2 people and everything but the kitchen sink. So some day I plan on rat-rodding This vibe out wi...

When you add a CAI, you might find better of the starting line runs on stop[ and goes, but on the highway you'll find you run at higher RPMs. Also higher shifting red-lines. Anybody else find this to be true? And since I find this to be true sometimes I like the effx and sometimes I dont. So I switc...

Here is something to inquire about more on the faulty cruze control, maybe re-flash the CPU and Trans computers. And on that model year maybe your cruze is held stable by a vacumm hose that is leaking or old. Something to look onto or at least inspect the vacuum hoses. E for Effort and T for nice Tr...

Cool, awesome, I will totally be there for next years meet. Cool t-shirts too.

I camp,

Nitetrain

2009 2.4L, I have a engine code of P0420 catalytic converter ineffiencey. The O2 sensors have voltage and temperature readings. This Vibe was re-built from an accident, the exhaust mani-cover does has a few dents in it. I am thinking the honeycomb is cracked. I am going to answer my own question wit...

Actually, now I looked at the owners manual. It said to change the trans fluid at every 60,000 miles. I am pretty sure if it is a good color red off the dip stick you will be OK. 2009 Pontiac vibe 2.4 l, TOYOTA T-IV or Mobile ATF 3309, 3.5 Liters.

. . . sounds like a good idea? Right? Looks like other people are changing at 25,000 miles. I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe 2.4 L Base.
