thanks for the answer man, is that flapper recirculating exhaust gas or is it sucking from the open air?

wyatt89

its a gt, i dont want to spend 5k for a celica supercharger

wyatt89

its inside the air box near the bottom closest to the back of the car, it is kind of flat and wide, i will try to get a picture of it...

wyatt89

what the hell is the little flapper valve that is in the air box for? i noticed that it opens when i rev the car to about 3k(?) is this just an egr or something that lets more air in?just wondering...

wyatt89

>_so the vibe just lost all its (removed)? is there anything i can do (besides somehow make the air more dense) to get some power back?i have a k&n drop in but it doesn't do much...

wyatt89

its a gt guys...

wyatt89

i have a serious issue that has me paranoid. i moved from texas to wyoming (the elevation changed from about 400 to 7900) and my car has been running like crap since then, is there a period of time that the car takes to get used to the much thinner air?do i need to have my ecu reset or will this pro...

wyatt89

There's 2 screws, one in the handle and one in the grip, you just remove those and the rest will just pop off, its pretty simple!

wyatt89

Any vibers in Wyoming? I just moved from Texas and I am looking for some people to meet up with!!

wyatt89

haha, thanks guys, yah i busted some ebrake slides and braved the washboard roads just for some fun!!what you dont see in the picture is that the car is soo packed with stuff that the back end is squatting! I was on my way to college so there was everything including a bike rack on the back :Dyah i ...

wyatt89

i wasnt sure where to post this picture...this is my vibe after my drive from texas up to wyoming to college. the vibe saw some scary dirt roads and it is now rally certified sorry if this makes you vibers cringe, dont get me wrong i love my vibe

wyatt89

the 6 disk is under the pass seat, im pretty sure it is amp'd because it has the same speakers as the moon and tunes with the separate woofer and tweeter in the front and the plain wizzer cone speakers in the back...i must find the amp though!

wyatt89

Could anyone tell me where the external amp is at for the nav option? If anyone has a picture, that would be appreciated too!!!

wyatt89

its not the glass i am worried about, i cant get the liftgate itself to unlock so i can pull the handle

wyatt89

well, the glass part pops fine, its when the car is fully locked and i try to unlock the trunk with the key, it doesnt open anything, like i said i think the linkage might have popped off the plastic connectors...

wyatt89

uuhhh, well i dont see anything like that, it looks like the linkages popped off, im gonna try to figure out which one goes where and we should be back in business...

wyatt89

wow, im sorry for all your friends that suffered the worst...glad to hear that you are still with a job though!

wyatt89

im talking about the key in the back of the hatch, the electrical lock works fine, the mechanical, key operated part of it doesnt work...im just going to pop the plastic off of it and set myself to work on it, its just a series of rods and connectors so it cant be that hard to figure out...for some ...

wyatt89

yah, thank you soooooo much for the help, im gonna try this method next and see if it gets me anywhere!

wyatt89

to whelan: the mechanical trunk latch doesnt work but the electrical one does, there is a weatherstrip thats gone bad on the drivers door, and weatherstrip on the front windows that is coming out and effecting the way the window goes up, all of which should be covered by the warranty... to sublimewi...

wyatt89

thanks for all the kind words guys!!!

wyatt89

well, i called pontiac today (via the number that nygiant gave me) and they couldnt tell me why it had no warranty, it was a total waste of over half an hour... i sat there with my carfax info in one hand and the phone in the other and the lady knew less then i did. i told her that we have owned 2 s...

wyatt89

wyoming!! good call

wyatt89

thank you so much for your help and concern, i will be making a phone call tomorrow!

wyatt89

wyatt89

i hope that works!!!!that was doing a little rallying with the vibe

wyatt89

I think I will as the date the warranty SHOULD end is coming up in a couple months, thanks for the number!

wyatt89

it had less than 75 miles on it...

wyatt89

i am totally interested in a pair of your lexan guards!!! how do you take payments? i live in a place beriddled with dirt/rock roads and having these would be a lifesaver!

wyatt89

nope, although my dad and i figured that it could have if it wasnt warranted when it should have been...

wyatt89

i have a similar creaking noise but it is on the drivers side. is there anyway to pop the dash off? i have heard that you could do this and i was going to put some of the single sided sticky foam crap under there to try to stop the squeak...

wyatt89

Well, i bought my 2004 vibe gt used in February of this year and i checked the carfax report on it and it said that it was sold of the dealers lot in november of 2005. I brought it into the local pontiac dealership to have a bit of minor work on it (all should have been covered by the warranty) and ...

wyatt89

wyatt89

Hey guys,I am the proud owner of a 2004 Vibe GT complete with the nav system, 17's and crappy paint! I really love my car seeing as it is the first one that I have owned (I'm 18) and I try to treat it well :DCan someone tell me the "Pontiac name" for my paint? It is a non metallic bright r...
