My 2004 GM has had a "Crunch" sound in the front since the 2nd scheduled maintenance check as a new vehicle. Dealer reported no obvious problems . After next maintenance check they injected something into the casing. Still crunches ! Then dealer decided it was the hood and adjusted the "springs" on either side of the front of the hood. Still crunches. Now my GM is drives like a sail boat on choppy seas ! It bounces all over at the slightest bump in the road. Any suggestions ???

I love my 2003 GM LS. by joesmith2

Its a peach. I paid $9K for it last march with 65K miles. It has 92K now, the only issue was the battery that I replaced (with an Optima). It starts in -15 degrees after sitting outside for several days, and it rides and handles great. My previous car was a 96 GM. It had 3 of the power windows fail, it melted a hole in the intake manifold, and the heater core failed. It still runs with 195K miles, so maybe I shouldn't complain. But still, I hope my 2003 won't have those problems.

95 T Bird 4.6L, 110,000 and had to replace the heater core.
 
What is there about Ford heater cores used in '95 & '96 that cause them to fail?

1994 MGM Fuel prob? by aviatordave

I have a 1994 MGM with 120k miles on it. It ran fine up until a month ago when it would surge as I accelerated. It did this for about a month then it just wouldnt start. I assumed it was the fuel pump so changed it and the filter out. The car ran again but still surges as I accelerate and just doesnt have the power it should. Now it wont start again, it just turns over and it almost 'feels' like it wants to start but wont. Is this a fuel problem or is there a sensor goofing me up?
 
Any help appreciated!

Had a 96 GM and had a hesitation problem. Mechanic cleaaned the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor ( rather than get a new one) with a chemical spray cleaner and it solved the problem.

I agree. Mass Air Flow Sensor is to be replaced or spray cleaned.

So the mass air flow sensor would keep the vehicle from actually starting?

Have it spray cleaned and see. Is it the original MAF sensor and how many miles on it?
 
22 Jun 04 108,597 Replaced MAF Sensor on our 94 Town Car. Result = like it was new again and towing the boat was a pleasure.

OK. I see it is right next to the airbox. The car has 122k on it, but until lately had run excellent. It looks like the original MAF Sensor but I see they used the special torx screws to hold it down. I'll have to get the right tool at work tomorrow and take it off to clean.
 
Just for grins I tried to start it again, I hear the fuel pump operate and the engine just turns over, never starts......arrgggggggg

Hope you use the recommended spray cleaner. (Don't know what it is.) Because it was replaced, but remember to be very careful with the two prongs. Spray them well, but don't touch them as well.
