Ok, this car has had more problems than anything i have ever owned and i treat this car so good. last year around this time my crank shaft positioning sensor went out. then during the winter my rockers, timing chain, and timing chain guides went out. i have spent so much on this car and now a few days ago i was driving and my car jerked really hard and my rpms shot down to 0 and the car was still running, so i pulled over and it was idling and it kept acting like it was gonna die like it was going from 1rpm to 0.1rpms. And then it died and would not start for like 10 min. and it did the same thing to me today and from the sounds of it i sounded like it wouldnt go past 4000rpm's. and then i just parked it and said **** this car. Do you know what this could be? you think it could be the crank shaft positioning sensor again? But i think im gonna trade it in for a STI.

 

I dont have an answer for you man, you just got a bad apple. But hey why not trade it in for an STI those things are nasty tight, im thinkin about doin the same here in a few months..

 

well ranger i want your rims if u trade it in

 

Haha I gotcha, everybody likes em

 

i know i have always wanted one. i just cant get over how good they sound with echaust. omg. they are unbelievable. i want a black one with black rims and black tint. everything black but i want to get this fixed. i mean i really want to get rid of it. i have spent about $3300 on this car with the repairs alone. i didnt even list all of them. and this car is not under warranty either.

 

YES I cant get over that sound either man, ive been doing that Pepsi thing where you can win a free 07 STI haha, hey atleast I can try and get a free one!

 

why is it not under warrenty???

 

probably has it modded... that sucks tho man! wish you luck with the sti! there insane cars

 

awesome choice, sucks on your luck with the balt.

 

"i had the same problem with the rms thing and then it wouldnt start its was my air mass flow sensor that caused it " hope this may help i know my balt is a piece of **** to

 

haha i have been doin the pepsi thing to. but m car is salvage that is why. i got my car for $13,900. i thought that was a good price but i regret buying a salvage car. my sti will be brand new.

 

there is actually a pcm update for cars that experience an irratic idle...fyi...

 

what do you mean? like the dealer has to do a update on the ecu?

 

yeah they do, and i would have your maf looked at too.

 

even though it is a salvage title they will still program it for free?

 

They should if its a factory defect in the ECU

 

just don't tell them its a salvage title.

 

Do you mean that you bought a car on a salvaged title and expected everything to be perfect with the car? There must have been a reason that the car was salvaged.

 

well i really didnt expect it to be a piece of ****. but if i do trade it in im gonna sell my rims w brand new tires and headlights and intake.

 

what about the twincharger kit you just ordered (information gathered from your myspace page)

 

I have an 07 which I got in September... would it be something that I need or is it only for older models? I sometimes get wierd RPM action when I go to put it in reverse and back up then put it back into N. Maybe its just cause I suck at going in reverse and nearly stall sometimes lol

 

i dont know. deep down inside i really really want to keep it but it just has so many problems.

 

GM will not do any warrenty work what-so-ever to a salvage history vehicle. reguardless of parts damaged or anything. and they'll know if its salvage or not whether you tell them or not when they run a VIS on it.

ill have to check on the 07's for the info...letcha know later today

 

i knida figured they wouldnt. but i ordered my crank shaft position sensor last night. $17. Hmmmm.....i remember it being alot more when i got it last year. hope it dont go out next year to if i keep the car.

 

Why was it a salvage title car? What was damaged?
