Mr3GTP Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 21 complaints? How many of them had ghetto-rigged amplifier wiring? j/k I know at least one ClubGP member had his go up in flames. Wish they had the cause narrowed down, give me something to go on. Maybe I should decrease the deductible on my '01... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Maybe I should decrease the deductible on my '01... Purchase 2 fire extinguishers. Put one within reach of you while driving. Put the second someplace safe. Run high presure ruber hose from fire extinguisher to problem fire area. Plug end of hose. Rig open the extinguisher valve. Now, you have a preasurized runner line full of extinguish'itude. Heat will melt the hose at the point that the heat is being generated, i.e. the fire. This will make a hole, releasing the fire supression whoop'ass on the fire. FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 return-style fuel system or no? Wondering why it would wait for the car to be off before it lit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 return-style fuel system or no? Wondering why it would wait for the car to be off before it lit up. yes return style, the fuel pressure regulators leak into the vacuum line and when there off it would just build up. i replaced a few at work that were leaking externaly as well. it was in the vacuum line it would juet be sucked into the intake.

smokin5s Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I know there's a problem with the '04's as well... the 0 ring on the power steering pump leaks onto the exhaust manifolds which can cause a fire... I've had mine changed out twice because of it leaking... POS GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
