So my buddy in town has a 99 gtp coupe with 145k. I was telling him about this forum and he was telling me about his car issues. He like my gf say I am obsessed about the site (but whatever) trying to help him out. I told him to bring the car by so we can check it out. He just had the trans drained and said he was leaking alot. His engine temperature was hitting the RED on the gage also. So I put it up on some ramps and began to investigate. OMG! What a disgrace to GP owners. He said he was going to sell it awhile back. I told him to inform me because some folks on the forum are interested in gtp's. Under the hood is filth and some crazy rigged up electrical mess and, leaks, all kinds of trouble. Well we get up under there and find out that 4 of the 20 bolts are missing from the pan. Not GOOOD! I am trying to search for the bolt size so we can get it Saturday and start helping this car out. I can't find the size anywhere but the head being 10mm. The oil valve gaskets are leaking also. I checked out his coolant and he was dry. Filled that up with the Dex Cool I had from my thermostat swap. I had a drop in K&N filter sitting in a cabinet I dropped in for him so at least the car can breath fresh air if anything. He has neons under his car that are jacked up I have to take off. Need to clean the engine bay. I have work to do to this car. I will be needing some questions answered I bet. I will be taking some before and after shots. After putting in the coolant car was at normal temps. Main thing is finding those bolts. He says things are fine. I say sure until you drop 1500 or so getting new tranny. He asks "where is a good place to go to get my windows retinted?" I was like save the money and help your ride. I don't get what happened at this auto shop he went to but he got screwed on his trans drain and fill. He said he usually has engine light on but someone disconected it or switched it off. I scanned his car (did not have time to fool around) but I only got one code which was MILCC (engine light disconnect) How do I fix or investigate this? If I forgot something I will post soon (it is 3am, tired).
