possable ELC
#1
Alright, I recently bought a 1997 SSEi Supercharged Bonneville. Great car I love, but there is a small cylinder in the back near the muffler that rattles. It hasn't affected the cars performance, but it sounds like a bad electrical connection. I'm an novice car guy a best and have no idea what it is or if it needs to be replaced. It only rattles ever so often so I;m guessing it'* connected to some sort of auxilery device. Any suggestions or has anyone seen this before. The dealer said it was a loose heat shield, B.*.

and that cylinder is your ELC (electronic level control) compressor....its normal for it to run occasionly when the system needs to raise the vheicle

Thanks guys appreciate it. When I bought the car it seemed just like a nother vehicle, but a lot of people are telling about the how awesome the motors are. Mine is in great condition accept for a few minor things. I'm sure everyone will say "yes" ,but is this a car thats really worth putting some money into and mod up? My car has a lot of miles though 196K.
