Re: Can I dirve it wihtout the belt on?

I got it in the garage and have removed the mounts. Next weekend I will attempt the bolt extraction.

Can I dirve it wihtout the belt on?

Recently, the bolt on the tension pulley broke on my 2003 Vibe with 315K, it's the standard 4cyl. for the motor. I need to move the vehicle forward about 15 feet to get it into my garage so I can work on it. With all of the snow and ice this time of year pushing it is a bit difficult and it's an uph...

PO446 and PO440

I have a 2003 Pontiac Vibe with 299,672 miles on her. CEl light came on recently, had it checked at the local parts store and the scanner came back with two codes: PO440 and PO446. When the vehicle sits for more than a few hours and I start it up, I get a whiff of gas that comes through the vents. I...

Re: Car has power but won't start

Problem solved. After going through and testing or retesting all the parts in the loop: Neutral safety switch, ignition switch, starter relay, and the starter, it turns out that the starter indeed was bad even though it had passed inspection at Auto Zone just last week. For all of you that replied, ...

Re: Car has power but won't start

This is a 2003 with an automatic. The starter will not engage. I have pulled the starter and had it checked, it was good and I tried replacing the Starter relay, which didn't help. I will start working on checking the neutral/safety switch.

Car has power but won't start

I saw some threads similar to my problem. I turn the key to start and nothing happens. The lights come on, radio works, blower works, etc. The difference between my problem and those in the other threads is that mine is intermittent. It has happened twice in the last two weeks. The problem didn't st...

Re: Differences between 2003 Vibe and 2005 Vibe

By front clip I was referring to the quarter panels, grill, and front bumper. Thanks to all of who have responded.

To DVIBE: I could easily get 300K out of this old girls if I wanted, I've reached that nickle and dime phase but the nickle and dimes are more like the 50 and 100 dollar bills.

Differences between 2003 Vibe and 2005 Vibe

I currently own a 2003 Vibe (base model) with 280,000 miles on it. I have the opportunity to purchase a 2005 Vibe (base model) that needs a new front clip. I'm wondering if there is anything that would prevent me from taking the front clip from the 2003 and putting it on the 2005?
