I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I bought my 1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L 4 door for $2,000 CAD in October 2006 with 194,000kms Since then i had to have the alternator rebuilt ($300) and have the gas tank ($100 used) the fuel pump ($150 used) and the filler neck ($80 new) replaced. There are 212,000 on the car now. Am i going to have more problems??? |

My '96 Sunfire SE = 218,000 K- No problems selling only because I wanted a newer car changed alternator at 200 k did the battery once sparkplugs platinum twice. paint peeling was my majorest concern thus I painted No head gasket problems, never stalled, no problems with the electric system. 4 speed automatic Buying a 2004 Sunfire coupe I want a 2007 civic coupe but wont pay 21+ will buy it in a few years used. I had started with an 82 cavalier, total nightmare my 96 sunfire shocked me at how well it stood up and never had any mechanical issues, I am lucky! Tounie |

| Okay.. i baught a 97 sunfire like a month ago and the guy said there was new brakes.. turns out only the front brakes are good and i had to get the back brakes done yesterday anyways.. i still hear this noise which initially i thought was the brakes but i guess not... its kinda by my feet when im braking or changing gears its like not so much grinding but like maybe a loose wire or something? does ANYONE know what im trying to say, cause i know nothing about cars and i dont wanna take it to a shop until i figure out what is exactly wrong because they'll tell me a million things that are apparently wrong with it and try and rape me of my money. HELP please SOMEONE ANYONE... HELP!! | |

170 k. I have always changed oil and filters myself. Yesterday I was in a hurry and brought the Sunfire in to Jiffy Lube for a change. They put in high miliage oil and gave me a new resivoir cap for tank. They tested the coolant and it read 128 deg. They had suggested a flush. I figured it was a good idea, so they did the flush. PROBLEMS immediatly after. 1. got in car ATS light stuck on, shifting into D VERY VERY hard. (clunking) went off in 5 min. or so. So far its ok. 2. drove 30-40 miles, overheated. 0 fluid in tank. 3. Got a new (correct) cap for overflow tank. its sealed and works fine. 4. Now its leaking by tranny pan. by the block. Question. WHY? (freeze plug, cracked block) any suggestions???? could this be from the flush???? the pressure machine they used??? One things for sure they are not touching it now!!!!

Replying to: masonjeep08 (Aug 06, 2007 9:26 am) Happened twice in my 97. It needs replacement of a resistor in the circuit (there is one for the low and med-low speeds, and one for the med high and high speeds). Should cost less than 100$ with labor.
