Platform is 2012 cruze 1.4 manual. I have a hot dynotune on it and its been perfect for about 6 months until now. My idle is super rich and has a rich missfire if i hold rpms below 1500. Driving is perfectly normal. The ltft like to hang around -3 to +3 while driving normal or under hard pulls...

Anyone have any success stories with it? Local shop quoted 300 to do it on my 13 equinox 2.4. It has 115k. Its got a miss at warm start that will go away after a min or two. I did coils and plugs with no change. Im sure the valves are caked. It does drink about 1qt every 3k. Maybe the cleaning...

I want to seal the top and side of the exposed airbox lid. This is the best pic i could find similar. I was thinking duct tape and paint it black? But then i thought it will just get old and weak in a year. What would you use?

Idk why but i just want to lecture people when they're semi right. Idk why this bothers me so much.

So on my equinox the harsh shifts came back. They where gone awhile with the fluid changes and pcm reset. Mainly harsh 2nd downshift and once and awhile harsh 3-4 upshift. I called my local aamco and they said $145 to diagnose it. But they would take 145 off my bill if i decide to let them fix...

I have A 13 equinox with the 2.4. 113k miles. I want to get a uoa at 3k on a oci. I mainly want to see fuel dilution. Im not sure if my high pressure fuel pump is going. Been reading on the nox forums that symtoms are high oil usage and fuel smell in oil and cold start misses. I have all of...

About to do the job soon. I got a used 3 mile turbo for it and it has all the lines still. What else do i need, i know i need new header bolts and the exhaust manifold gasket. Am i missing anything?

My moms windstar has a few problems im trying to fix. Its a 01 windstar 3.8 sel. 168k. I replaced the fuel filter, plugs wires, coil pack, cleaned the egr ports "they where clogged". Did the updated intake gasket and green gasket intake manifold bolts. Updated valve cover to stop oil...

Would a bad internal waste gate cause overboosting and boost fluctuation. Did the whole 9 yards and im thinking its a bad wg. No boost leaks. Actuator is good. Bypass valve is good. No play in turbo shaft. Some up and down play in the wg. Chevy says up to .16 or something play is serviceable...

Where talking about cars and what not, then co worker said any mod you do to increase power shortens your motors life. He claimed putting a header on his 4.0 jeep will shorten his motor life, but the power increase is worth it. I disagreed with him say basic bolt ons dont decrease life. I could...

Witch way does this valve go? Its a couple psi pressure relief valve. Im modifing a oil cap to add this. Say pick 1 is "a" and pic 2 is "b". Im guessing "a" is the side the goes into the motor?

So my forge atmospheric bypass valve is having problems. Its on a 2012 cruze 1.4. It used my boost leak tester. After about 2-3 lbs of pressure it starts to come out of my bpv. Im tunned for 22 psi. I pressurized my motor to 25 psi and it leaked the whole time. Just a constant psssh out of the...

Have to say i was skeptical about a fix in a bottle. I thought worse case im out 12 bucks. But to my surprise it has worked well. Used on a 2013 equinox 2.4 awd. 111k did 4 drain and fills from 109k to 111k. The d&f wernt really improving shifts. On the 4th d&f i added the lubegaurd. Have to say...

So my wifes 2013 equinox 2.4 awd. Is burning about 1 qt every 1-1.5k. Its a 5 qt sump. I want to use a oil that will slow consumption. It has no warrenty. Would prefer to stay in the 5w30 range. My choices where pphm, red bottle maxlife blend. Qs defy hm syn. Currently using pp with 1qt of mmo...

Just like to share my very positive experice with maxlife atf multi vech. I bought a used equinox a few months back. With about 100k on it. It only had regular oil changes no other maintence really. I inspected it and it had a tranny leak right where the cases meet on the tranny. Did 4 drain and...

So im suddenly getting compressor surge. I installed a forge bypass valve with the weakest spring it came with. I did get one surge with its first opening after install then it went away. I also installed a adjustable wastegate actuator. My tuner said to start at 1 turn in. Did that and now i...

Ive been wanting to powder coat my rims for awhile now. Im thinking gloss white or gloss black. Heres a factory pic of my car, mine looks the same in every way and same rims.

My 13 equinox has plasic front and rear sway bar end links. Think it would be worth anything to change them to metal endlinks? I changed out my cruze endlinks from plastic to metal and i didnt really notice a differance but i guess theres less roll when swerving. Just wondering if its worth the...

So i have 2 cars and both have been neglected drivetrain wise. First car 2013 equinox 2.4 awd. Drained the ff at 108k and it was super thin and black. 3 drain and fills later with maxlife multi vech. Still shifts the same. Only shifting problem really is harsh down shifts. Like comming to a stop...

Thinking About getting them for my cruze. Unknown pads on it. Unknown rotors on it. Think i should get new rotors with the ebc pads or just do pads if the rotors are ok? Just looking for better stopping power. Current pads fade easy. Never tried nice pads before always got cheapo autozone ones...
