KarenL2888 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 So my 91 got to come out of the garage and drive in the driveway. I feel like Rainman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I didn't get the chance to roll mine out the garage when the weather got warm. Glad someone was able to take advantage of the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtpKo Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It was that warm in Toronto on Saturday. I took advantage and did a plug-n-wires tune up to the truck and then took it to the car wash, clay bar + quick wax. I love days like that. It was nice to cruise around with the moonroof open, but on warm days like that in the middle of winter, the air tends to have a muddy smell. All good.

Penglii Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 -6*F this morning, +6*F was the high today in my neck of the woods in South Central Wisconsin. The 94 Sedan was a trooper, but was not thrilled about it... but still FAR from the worst noises I've heard from a sub zero degree engine start. Enough snowdrift has melted in the past couple of weeks that I could look longingly at the TGP again... that counts for something, right?

ScoobyDoo82 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Whats weird is my Cavalier would have made all sorts of weird noises and started hard this morning. Yet my GP started like it wasn't even cold out, no noises and it cranked normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGTGP Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Northern utah we have a nasty Inversion atm crappy air quality and Is close to 0 most mornings. Ive had to daily drive my tgp the past few weeks. Have a pretty nasty Lifter tap for the first 30 sec's of running after that she's just fine, other then my 282 being real notchy until the trans warms through.

WhatTheFehl Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 7 degrees when I left for work this morning. Outback kinda cranked like "Kill me kill me kill me kill me... oh, if you insist. But I'm gonna make horrible boxer engine noises for about 10 minutes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtpKo Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 At what temperature does oil freeze? The coldest I've ever started a car was -33F. Real air temp, not wind chill. That was a carburated 2.5 Iron Duke. I believe the pour point of 5w30 is -35F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender01 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nice mine has the red interior and a boot. St patricks day my wife snapped the passenger window shade mirror cover off. If anyone has a spare red passenger to spare.. let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenL2888 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Took her out of the garage today for the first time since 1-15-13. The check engine light is on. I will assume because she needs to idle more than 15 minutes in 3 mo. Reasonable assumption? Or get her to the mechanic? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Check the codes and report back. to check it get a paper clip and put it in your datalink connector under the dash like so http://digitaloutsider.org/paperclip.jpg turn the key on and watch the SES lamp flash, it will flash once, then twice that indicates code 12. it will do it 2 times. code 12 is normal it shows the ecm is communicating proper. read the codes after that. and let us know what they are.

KarenL2888 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I had to get a PA safety inspection yesterday. It cost me two "third brake light" bulbs. Wish my 2009 Toyota had done that well. LOL Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFehl Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I wish my both my GPs did that well . The Outback is the first car I've had go through inspection without needing a single thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
