I have bought several (had a photo and a few questions answered) then said "Ship It"

Full disclosure:

I live in Massachusetts and have no mechanical abilities.
That is not possible.......
You can use a Torx T Handle?
1/4" Socket wrench?
You know about metric sockets?
You have some metric combination wrenches?
Anyway......Lowes or Home Depot can fix you up


Here’s what I have on my hands:

1. Car seems to run well and feels pretty fast. Not positive the secondaries are working. I’ve gotten a service engine soon light a few times but it goes away. Sometimes I drive it for an hour without it coming on. Just can’t tell if I’m getting full power. I’ve never drive a C4 so no comparison.

2. Service LTPWS comes on.
I pulled the LTPWS (Low Tire Pressure Warning System) bulb as I have after market wheels.

3. Reverse lights don’t work. Can’t pass inspection without that.
Backup Tail Light Switch

4. Bose sounds like crap and only some speakers work sometimes.

5. Headliner sags.

6. Center console gets pretty hot. Not sure if that’s normal.
Pretty Hot???? How hot is your coolant just for comparison? If you are idle in traffic (no air movement under vehicle)......your exhaust is running on each side of Transmission and it can get warm in that area.

I took it to a local Chevy dealership to help me to fix the reverse lights. No luck yet. I know they may not be able to troubleshoot the engine but I figured they could fix the reverse lights. Anyways, looking for advice or a good mechanic in the general Massachusetts area.

Any advice would be appreciated! I attempted to attach a few pics.
