Thank you for the help. It appears to me that the 15A EFI fuse does feed the fuel pump. Hopefully, I won't have any more problems.Where can I download the entire service manual? The car is now out of warranty so I'll be doing all the work myself. Thank you.

2001FZ1

A couple week ago we had some issues with the Vibe blowing a couple 15amp fuel injection fuses. The dealer could not figure out why 2 of them opened up. Then a couple days ago, the fuel pump completey died leaving my wife stranded AGAIN with my 8 month old son in 97 degree heat.Does that 15A EFI fus...

2001FZ1

Bringing back an old thread......38,000 miles on my GT and my wife was stuck along the interstate with my 8 month old son in 98 degree heat. Once at the dealer, we were told it was a bad fuel pump.Just another reason to NEVER buy another GMSo far we have had the following problems:Battery failureO2 ...

2001FZ1

The check engine light came on tonight so I stopped in at Autozone for the free scan ~ P0134 so its the o2 sensor. However, I have to drive to the airport and back tomorrow which is 90 miles away. Will this hurt anything?Thanks!

2001FZ1

I just got back from the Pontiac dealer. The battery was bad. They replaced it with another junky AC Delco........I'll probably be replacing it in 2 years. Its no wonder GM is no longer #1.

2001FZ1

Thanks djb383. My guess is that the dealer is going to see that I have 33,800 miles on the car and say there is nothing wrong with it. Yeah, the car starts and the battery tests good but if it sits for 2 weeks or leave the radio on for half hour or leave the doors open while detailing the inside ~ t...

2001FZ1

Over the last month or so, the car has failed to start 3 times because the battery is not holding a charge. Today I was listening to the radio for about 40min while my wife was spending my money in a store. When I went to start the car, all I got was the click, click, click. luckily, we carry a set ...

The temp gauge wasn't all the way up to the normal spot of half, it was more like at 1/4. I guess that was it. Thanks for info, I'll let it warm up fully next time.

2001FZ1

Last week I was driving the wife's GT and decided to pull out onto the highway and "burn the carbon out" of the engine since I rarely drive the car. Anyway, I shift around 4k in first gear, go to 2nd and go WOT. Everything is going fine 'till around 7k rpms and it was like the rev limiter ...

Now we have just over 30,000 and its still there but.........

Somebody just paid $455 plus $150 shipping for a SLP ram air hood. The EXACT same hood is $399 plus $125 shipping direct from SLPhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33646http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=100192I emailed the seller and asked about others......"I have others but I sell the...

Quote, originally posted by northvibe Â»were they refering to the test fitting? your supposed to test fit the hood before paint.No, the SLP salesman said that when the hood comes out of the mold, it is rough and needs a lot of work to get it smooth enough for primer and paint.

2001FZ1

I just called SLP to order a thier Ram Air hood for $399 but the salesman said it would take at least 3-4 hours of prep work before the hood would be ready for paint. Whats the deal with that?Anyone ordered one of these hoods and does it actually need this much work???? Thanks!

2001FZ1

Since I have to get a new hood for the Vibe due to hail damage, I am going to put on a ram air hood. I would like to get a K&N short ram intake such as the Typhoon Kit but its not listed any where for the '05 model. Is it ever going to come out or do I have to get something else??? Thanks!!

2001FZ1

Those hoods for sale on ebay look pretty good! Thanks for the links!!!As soon as State Farm gives me a check, I think I will be ordering it.Any idea on what kind of power increase this will be or is it so small to consider........mainly a cosmetic change?

2001FZ1

Thanks for the replies. I don't think the wife would go for a carbon fiber hood but probably something with a ram air opening.

2001FZ1

here's the deal. A bad hail storm rolled through last friday ~ baseball sized hail. The Vibe is pretty messed and needs a new hood. The price for a new hood is $408 from GM, at leas this is what the body shop is quoting. So I was think why not put a better looking hood on there. Are there any hoods ...

2001FZ1

I'm going to use what the repair manual says to use. It will be easier to get to anyway. Thanks guys!

2001FZ1

Thanks Psychobroker

2001FZ1

Either one may work but which one will allow getting the correct amount of fluid in? Or are they at the same level so it doesn't matter? Thanks!

2001FZ1

My wife has put just 13,000 on the GT so far. I will be pissed if we don't at least 100k out of the stock clutch. When we sold her Honda Civic it had 210,500 miles on the STOCK clutch.

2001FZ1

I took a picture of what I though would be the two possibilties for filling the transmission. Which one is it? #1 or #2? Thanks!!

My sister just bought a Saturn Vue with AWD. I think it is a very nice vehicle and with that Honda V-6 it sure does have plenty of power.

I came home and found this Craftsman tool boxing sitting in the garage. It looks big but I think I need more space

First 5 tanks in my Vibe GT......30-32mpg each time.Big deal if it takes premium......$.20 more per gallon.If I drive 15,000 miles a year that is only about $100 more per year.....that is worth having the extra horsepower.

2001FZ1

I just got an email back from the salesman that sold us the car. he said, "They should be there" Well duh!! He said he was going to try and locate a pair for me.........

2001FZ1

My owner's manual says to change it every 5,000 miles or 3 months, which ever comes first. Regardless of what anyone says, I am sticking to this schedule and keeping all reciepts. I don't want the engine to take a big crap and not have it covered under warranty because I didn't follow the proper mai...

I was in a friends Vibe and noticed there are hooks holding the floor mats in place. Are these supposed to come with the Vibe? If so, maybe I should head back to the dealer and get mine.......I bought it new from there.Or can I buy them for a cheap price? Thanks

It usually takes about 4-5 years for Haynes to have one made. Have you tried calling Haynes yet?

I have bought a few hitches in the past from other places. Unless you order it, most likely the ball mount will not come with the hitch. ball mounts are universal and can be bought from almost any auto part store or even wal-mart

I just got the estimate from the insurance company.......$680 to repaint the hood, front bumper, blend the fenders and replace the Pontiac symbol.I don't have to pay a single dime since it fell under comprehensive and ther is a ZERO deductible. I'm still not happy about.

Thats a nice looking bike. Gald to see there are other riders on the board.Funny thing about that CBR, it makes the same horsepower at the wheel as the base Vibe........but the CBR only wieghs about 440lbs wet.

Almost doubt it was a dog that did it. The paw prints are just way to big for a cat. We do have coyote around here but I have never seen one anywhere near our property.I told the wife that if I find out it is her puppy, it is getting donated to the humane society.
