Great drive train look out for problems with upper intake leaking coolant
into the engine. Trans has had occasional problems also. Try to scan it for
history codes in the trans if possible.

Get a grip man! You're hysterical! It was difficult to read your rant,
in the absence of any punctuation. Having said that, I know what the
problem is with your car. You cannot put only two new tires on a 99-2000
Regal. You must put four on or it upsets the balance of the car and
essentially "tilts" the computer, causing all of the symptoms you have
mentioned. To reset the computer, you will have to do the following:
1. Put on 2 more new tires.
2. Start the car and leave it in park.
3. Put on the lefthand signal light and pump the brakes 100 times.
4. Put on the righthand signal light and pump the brakes 95 times.
5. Find an old dirt road (a paved road won't work!) and back up 10 miles
while whistling the national anthem.
6. Press the odometer reset wile the lefthand signal light is on.
This should fix all of your problems or at the very least, take your
mind off of them for awhile. |
