That would be a huge job, the best way would be to get 2009 vibe or possibly matrix with ac and swap all parts needed even then we are talking about wiring that most likely does not exist in your car, not sure if ECU would have to be changed also or reprogrammed,evaporator that is under the dash nex...

Also lubricating properties, impeller is stainless steel or cast, aluminum will corrode.Drain and fill is pretty good assurance, so looks like you are doing everything right.Keep up good work on your car and you will work on it on your terms not when car wants you too.

Yup looks like two of you got it diagnosed, if you guys jumped power from battery to the clutch terminals and it did not engage, then that means that clutch which is electromagnet coil is open circuit, no DC current flow no clutch engagement.You will need new clutch, keep us posted of your progress ...

it would be good to replace coolant so its rust inhibiting properties are restored, that is first thing that happens to coolant.

yea it is wide band and heated, see it had four pin connector. Denso is good brand that is what i have in my car.And with modern cars it is very important to have good o2 sensor, because cars use them to decide air fuel ratio constantly, doing fine adjustments unlike narrow band that tells computer ...

Nice vibe gt, I am own 03 vibe gt also,I like you vibes color.Just a little heads up you may find out that some of your motor mounts are worn out, a lot of cracks in the rubber, I replaced all of mine when i did clutch, because all but one will be disconnected anyways during clutch change.Enjoy your...

P.S can you start the car and watch live data, let me know what is your LT fuel trim level, and average ST fuel trim, also keep and eye on 02 sensor reading, Does your car die when it reaches closed loop.?

Fuel system OL means your fuel system is in open loop, it should go into closed loop when operating temperature reaches certain level, that will be monitored by coolant temperature sensor.If your car never reaches closed loop it could be because your coolant sensor does not read correct temperature....

Sure let me know how it goes, hey just to throw it your way, if your ac is totally empty it might be good idea to replace accumulator.It is not very expensive and you get replacement o rings.I found out that in many cases that is the place where refrigerant leaks out. Your could also get vacuum pump...

Hello, i have 03 vibe gt with 6 speed i drove few times from Buffalo NY to Sarasota Florida and it drove really nice,i would reach those speeds on occasion. Now those two cars have completely different gearing and engines.Just to remind you to check for five speed failures here on the Gen VIbe.But I...

not too long, the hardest part was putting rear transmission mount in,i did it over few days because i had other things going. Difference between old Korea Seco clutch and new Excedy is huge, my clutch still had a lot of life left on it, almost all of it, just uneven wear across radius of friction s...

Hello, does is come on when you turn on ac? that is when it should come on, but only if your ac is in working condition (compressor, has enough refrigerant ).I would try fuses first, then if they are fine i would take fan out, and test it on the table with ohm meter, making sure that it does not hav...

Hello I like your vibe gt, i have 03 vibe gt, love the car, you did good job so far keep on doing, and shifting.in my case i found that the best mix for transmission was one quart of penzoil synchromesh and the rest redline 75w90, i live in north east and do not drive vibe in the winter. Hey keep us...

Hello TRB, I know this is now several months old tread but i just wanted to ask you how do you like your new clutch set up?. I did the same thing around the same time.When i bought my 03 vibe gt previous owner said that he had replaced clutch at the shop here in western New York and that after that ...

Hello I just want to try to help I have read your first post, you said you swore you put right amount of oil, my doubts are next, check level of your antifreeze, did it go down?? speaking from experience here, if head gasket failed between cylinders 1 and 2 it could dump antifreeze into oil return a...

possibly bad connection at the starter (positive) wire leading from battery, or ground wire leading from battery, I would try cleaning them.You will have to take battery out and under it you will find ground connection on the transmission, and loop to the engine,positive will lead to the starter sol...
