Thanks dude.KITT222 wrote:Here's a little help with the recirc motor. A little tip a few of us have used: just open the motor up and flip the servo gear. The teeth on one side may be stripped, and it doesn't really use all the teeth. It's a free fix, so why not give it a try?

Re battery tie down: There's at least one Vibe being parted out near me. I could ask for a price from them and ship you an OEM tie-down.
HU knobs: get an aftermarket HU, or a trick I've heard is nail polish. The GM radio in the Vibe is pretty crappy, so nobody will blame you if you decide to toss it.
Door skirt: Some 3M trim tape can hold the cladding down pretty well.
That's all I have for now. Good luck with it!
Have you tested it? It's an oil control valve, right? I think you can apply voltage to it and test to see if the plunger moves, but for the lift OCV, I haven't found the procedure yet.Salsa Guy wrote:Inspected the Lift Actuator and it was filthy but after cleaning it still won't hit Lift and Popped a P1693 again.
Yea I had her helping me take it off. She has learned to check the oil, fluids, air pressure and a few other things. She knows how an engine works. We don't have snow but the driveway she was backing out of has a curve she failed to negotiate. I'm not paying $350 for the part then have it painted. It's not a tough repair, 4" metal strap, epoxy, longer bolt, a few plastic rivets and 45 minutes should fix it.KITT222 wrote:That's some serious gunk. Glad you figured that out. Stinks about the 'Trix, but that's its new reality for a while... Teach her to care for her automobile, maybe have her pay a little for it too, just so she'll care more about keeping the paint clean rather than distracting herself. That said, it's a simple mistake, not knowing the corners of the car. You could try putting some of the snow bank sticks to the corners of the Matrix to help her learn them. It would have helped me, that's for sure.
