I guess I will answer my own question here, Had Cat changed to a OEM spec sprial spun Cat Magna Flow Part#54956 There are many other options but a cheap welded unit that costs under 100$ will not last very long. this one cost 125, not sure if this will help anyone.

I am sure I am right but there is a difference between the base 1zz and 2zz exhaust systems, I do not believe there is a pre cat on the 2zz (GT) model, I am have a tough time finding a aftermarket universal cat for my 2003 GT. Correct me if i am wrong but i get a 2.5" pipe from the manifold to ...

Can someone please direct me in the right direction for an aftermarket "cat"I am looking for a cat for a 2003 pontiac vibe GT. I am going to cut out the old cat only as the exhaust is only 2 years old. I fried the cat when I lost two Ingnition coil packs and dump some raw gas in the cat an...

I know I have seen a post about a ODB2 reading and what i am looking for is normal readings at Idol for a 2003 vibe GT. I am trying to compare my data to something so I can get a benchmarkthanks

matty77

the mechanic said there were no codes, what is involved in clearing the CELs and getting out of limp mode.

matty77

I think i found the problem with my car, Mechanic told me that he suspected that 2 coils were not working, I took the car home and diagnosed it my self, started tha car with all 4 connected, took off the bad ones and the car started, next I pulled off the two good ones and left the bad ones on, car ...

matty77

I am having a similar problem, My mechanic believer it to be faulty ignition coils.

matty77

Well it would seem that 2 coils are not fireing, Mechanic fixed my exhaust problem, car is now purring but the same rough ride continues. They had the coils out and put them on the bench, no spark or very little on two of them, he only changed me for the exhaust work so I found some coils and will p...

matty77

yes check engine light is on, I have not changed intake

matty77

Here is the problem,I have been running with a bad donut gasket and I am wondering if that finally totally failed and has now caused an abnormal amount of air in the exhaust causing the sensors to malfunction. The idle is very rough, if I hold the rpms at 2500 and runs fine when in neutral. I can ge...

matty77

I am having the same problem, did you figure it out

matty77

What was the process in changing the seal. Do you have a drawing or exploded view drawing or know where I could get one. I am having the exact same problem as you had, this is the second time around for me. Dealer changed it under warrenty last time.

matty77

can you please elaborate on the adjusting of the parking brake. I read in a previous post that it is under the center console. is this correct. Secondly how is the center console removed?thanks

matty77

5/16" I thought for sure it would be metric

matty77

I am having trouble removing the rear rotors on my Vibe GT , Not sure if there is a trick or just some beating on them. Help would be great on this issue please.

matty77

Just wanted to let you know that I made my second trip to Saskatchewan and back and the vibe ran flawless. Gas Mileage was great. The car now has 80,000km and the only problem i have had is that the air conditioner was dead when I picked the vibe up after purchase.

matty77

74000KM on my old tires

matty77

Had my new tires installed the other day.....Goodyear Assurance Triple treads. Seams to be a great tire so far.....Just for a side note my RSA's on the front were pretty much bald but did they ever hood up on dry pavement. I had some fun the day before I had the new tires put. So I guess if Goodyear...

matty77

Just wondering if this is a good price that I was quoted on 4 Goodyear assurance tripple treads. The price was 640$ everything included. This is the best price I have found, this is from Goodyear.

matty77

I have done the oil changes and filters but the brake service, power steering flush, injector cleaning.....they try to scare you to get this stuff done....in my mind its a joke....the brake service is the biggest scam going. I have seen many people get suckerd in waiting in line. I believe one big r...

matty77

Has anyone here put on Michelin Hydrodege tires....I am changing my tires soon and I am not please with the goodyear RS-A as they wore out very quickly and the car mainly did highway driving, 80% of the time straight. Any other options out there that you would recommend.Hydroedge quote was 150$ cana...

matty77

Does anyone else get pushed from their dealer to follow the maintancnce sch and then get story if you decloine that your warrenty can be effected.

matty77

70,000km on my clutch, has had some good work as my wifr learned to drive stick on this car. So seeing the her handy work first hand i would say that the clutch has held up very well. I took my vibe off the lot in May 2003, and it was on the lot for atleast 3months minimum so I think that this is on...

matty77

I am going to pupt steelies on my vibe this winter and I want to use 15" rims, my rims now are the oem's 16" just wondering what the best winter tire size will be, to keep it as close to original as possible

matty77

Just wondering if this is true, I ask someone I know who is a sales associate for toyota and he said that GM has changed parts in the vibe i guess to cut costs, thus the 05 vibe and 05 have different parts in them....the 03 vibe and 03 matrix were identical.any truth to this?

matty77

i watched them do the flush and they had the machine....the toyota dealership that I go to is a well respected place with good prices.

matty77

from my experience so far the gm service guys have very little knowledge on the vibe, I found this out in the first week I had the car. After that I said to myself that I am going to to GM for warrenty work and toyota for something that I have to pay for.

matty77

just for everyones information......I had my coolant changed at the toyota dealership, they confirmed that it was the toyota fluid....they did a flush and fill for 79$

matty77

Just want to get some clarification on the coolant that was used in the 2003 Vibe. My Vibe is due for a coolant change and I have scheduled an appointment at the local Toyota Dealership. My guess is that the coolant they use in the Matrix is the proper fluid to use.....seeing that it is a Toyota Eng...

matty77

has anyone had success getting GM to repaint the damaged areas of their Vibe.

matty77

sport wagon

matty77

matty77

good thing you did not get a 2003.......they are lemons....I almost bought a 2003 vue when I bought my vibe.......very glad I did not buy a 2003........2004 are much better...interior and quality....I am thinking of buying a vue for our second vehicle......good choice

matty77

I had a quote on a new windshield from the dealer.........1000$ ouch!!

matty77

this was the worst car review I have ever read, did this guy actually drive the car...........this is the problem when you let people that only drive Toyota's and Honda's write a review on a Northamerican car.

matty77

just wondering when your favorite time to hit lift is, mine is coming on to the highway on the on ramps..

matty77

has anyone here had ti install a baby seat.......just wondering if you used the middle seat for your baby seat......wondering if you can use the latch system for the middle seat....thanks

matty77

i would be interested

matty77

nice!

matty77

Just want to say that the vibe performed very well on a trip half way across canada, Drove to Saskatchewan straight through and had no problems with the car. Ran flawless, no complaints. The only thing that went wrong was the damn Transport Truck that flung a rock into the windshield, oh well @#$% h...

matty77

i can't believe you compared a neon to a Porche

matty77

Does anyone know if there are any ill affects if you put on 17" factory wheels on a GT with a sunroof. Was just wondering why it was not available with a sunroof and secondly does anyone want to sell there 17" factory wheels.
