Re: Vibe Recall (yank dini)

This was a inspection to check if the wheel hub bolts where tight. I think we had three Vibes to check and all of them was tight. Most inspection type recalls go this way, the ones that are ok, way out weigh the ones that we find need repaired.

Re: JET performance chips can add 10 to 14 HP to your Vibe/Matrix. (d_m_kolb)

I'm sure if you get a modified PCM that it comes with a disclamer that says "this modifacation is intended for off highway use". I'd be amazed if Jet Performance would go to the expense of getting the EPA to certify it for highway use. What is the fine for altering a emision system? Send t...

Re: KeyFob (azviber)

Some dealersin large urban areas install security systems on cars they have out on their lot. Did you buy your Vibe out of dealer stock or did the dealer trade for it? We have had situations where we dealer traded for a car or truck and never new they had a security system on them till a problem com...

Re: Tell me about your GT........ (Jwnmt)

We love our GT. It is everything I liked about the Turbo Sunbird hatch back I had years ago. It is pleasnt to drive up to 6k and hauls after that. Gear selection during performance driving takes some getting used to, for example if your going to pass a car on a 2 lane highway and want to get around ...

Re: Engine Stalls (emod50h51h)

I checked this morning and the VDR doesn't support any 2003 models yet. Probaly they where using a scan tool (Tech II). If I hear or see anything I'll let you know.

Re: Engine Stalls (dlmetzger)

We have (as most all dealers should have ) a little black box, much like a airplane flight recorder. This could be installed on your car and you can press a button to record a stream of data (4 different times). The only problem is that I'm not sure if the software supports a Vibe yet. I will check ...

Re: Idle Speeds?? (dlmetzger)

I did a little research in on your idle problem, While your idle is controlled by the computer, the computer does not controll all the air that is needed to controll the idle. How the Idle Air Controll valve works is that a base idle speed, say 550-600 rpms is set when the throttle body is calibrate...

Re: Engine Stalls (d_m_kolb)

Your fuel could be a possible culprit, fuel refineries blend fuel for different seasons, winter, spring, fall summer. Also for different geographical locations say Florida vs. Montanna. A fuel with the incorrect reid vapor will cause stalls. Sometimes when you see gas that is cheaper than usual, the...

Re: Pontiac Vibe RECALL. Uh oh. (03vibegt)

This recall is pretty well done, the recall was issued quickly and most of the cars where checked before being delivered to their customers. Of all the Vibes we have had though our shop only one was involved in the campaign and it checked ok when it was checked. If you are interested about your car ...

We had a Vibe come thru our shop that was shadow gray with the monotone paint. It was really sharp, the gray isn't as dark as I thought it would be, more of a medium gray.

Re: The first Vibe forum I have seen (Fformula88)

I've only driven regular Vibe's with a automatic and only 2-3 miles at a time. They seemed ok other than it has to wind up to go compared to alot of other cars which suits me fine. One of the Vibes we sold came in on a dealer trade from a dealer about 125 miles away. the gentleman who drove it to us...
