Hi all, All of a sudden, my 197 seems a bit low on power. Almost like it doesn't want to rev as quickly. The car is a late 2007 197 with 61k miles. Timing belt done 2k miles ago. I'll be changing the oil and filter next weekend, but they were both done just shy of 6 months ago. It does seem to...

Hi all, I've recently bought an amp (Pioneer GM-D1004) for my 197. It's supposed to be a straight forward install, but I'm running into an issue where the amp is constantly on when plugged into the car harness, and won't go off when the ignition is off and the car locked, even. It's also...

Hi all, My 197 (60K miles) has had an issue for a while that I've been trying to figure out for a while. I've made a post a while back, but it hasn't had any activity, so I'll try again and provide more details that I now know. When starting the engine, there is a slight momentary knock or...

Hi all, A few days ago, I started changing my timing belt. I have a set of genuine locking tools with the "Horseshoe", pulley locking tool, and crank locking pin. I figured it would be the "not easy, but doable" type of job, but I'm quickly reaching the conclusion that I might be out of my...

Hi all, My 197 has a clunk/rattle/knock when the engine is cold and I very lightly (and only at idle) press the accelerator, while stopped. When the engine is hot, it doesn't happen. See video: So far, the following was checked: Upper engine mount (tried to rock the engine back and forth...

Hi all, So, I'm looking to buy a CAN Clip interface, and I'm finding it a bit hard to figure out what to get. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but after doing some research, it seems that getting genuine CAN Clips is out of the question, as they are expensive and have to be licensed. So, it...

Hi all, Because I was quoted a ridiculous amount for a Timing Belt and Water Pump for my 197, I'm now looking at doing it myself. I can already predict that it would be frustrating at some stages, but I'd save a lot of money, and it would probably feel very rewarding, after it's done. It would...

Hi all, As the title states, I have a few issues with my 197. Some of them might be related with other problems listed. I'm wondering if anyone could share some input on them: Low MPG My car has quite bad MPG. I understand these cars aren't a cheap runaround, and that I shouldn't expect...

Hi all, I have an issue with my 197. I have the key-less entry system on this car, and when I stop the car, and then the engine, without locking the car via the keycard, the hazards will flash in a pattern. They will flash three times, stop, and repeat continuously. This is with the car...
