You'll love that manual. My 15 year old daughter, when she was 13, succesfully changed my thermostat with just that manual.

either your daughter is a whiz with that kind of stuff, or that manual really kicks butt.


i'm guessing it'* a bit of both.

haha, that'* pretty cool.

i take it that'* your engine in your signiture?


it looks really freakin sweet, i like the color scheme, i think once the weather gets better, i'm gonna clean up under my hood, but i'll keep everything silver and black, cause my car is all black with silver trim for the exterior,


any suggestions on what to use to clean out under the hood?

also, i got a couple scratches, i already did a touch up paint job, but is there a product i can use to smooth out the touch ups and get things lookin good again?

Interesting side note: some book stores carry Chiltons manuals. I was at a Borders the other day browsing some automotive books when, lo and behold, a shelf full of Chiltons! But like Bill said, automotive stores are your best bet.

Barnes and Noble'* also has them, but you have to look to see what they have, cause their stock changes (in terms of the manuals). A parts store is your best bet still.

Just email scottc@intense-racing.com and tell him what application you need a PCM for. They did a PCM for my 97 LeSabre (also H body 3800 series II N/A) when they did not show one on the list at the time. Notice that if you check the list of PCM'* on intense-racing.com now, they show Buick LeSabres (that'* because of meeeee!). They will def. be able to do your PCM.

very cool, about how much would a new pcm run?


and is it a pretty easy installation? would it require any other stuff done to the car?
