Mine is not that bothersome and, anyway, with the stereo on and kids in the back, it's hardly worth fussing over - for me.

Be sure to post the final solution the dealer comes up with.
I'll keep you guys posted on my "findings".

Also, I have a whinny power steering pump...... is it the pump or the entire Manna Steer rack?
Thanks,
Bruce
This is for roy41144 who was nice enough to respond to an earlier post. I finally have my car in the shop (not a dealer) to have among other things the Twilight Sentinel switch replaced. He's having trouble finding the switch connector you mentioned. If you happen to have part numbers available for the items you bought, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1)27,000 miles
2)Only on grades when increasing engine loads.
3)This has always happened with all my 3800 engines; I've had many.
4)It happens with the cruise control on and off.
This does not appear to be a major problem. I thought it was just the engine cycling between gear. If I put my foot down a little bit to downshift, the cycling stops. Should I have it checked out anyway?
Also, any idea about that whinny power steering? Thanks for the help!
Bruce
am unsure as the reliability of it. It has 47k
miles on it and looks good on the outside but is it a car I can have for years to come without pouring a lot of money into it for major repairs?
Thanks

Good luck - and join us on the main board if you do decide to buy.
I got a little more facts on the car today. It was a program car, it has 39k miles on it, it's
an se edition, and the dealer wants $14,000.00
for it. I looked at carpoint, some liked the car others didn't. Thanks for the input.

Best wishes in your car-hunt. The more research and looking around you do, the more knowledgeable you will become prior to negotiating.

opinons on getting one.
Thank You

I've been buying extended warranty's (100K miles) for about 15 years. Quick calculation says I might be down a couple hundred bucks overall, but it sure is comforting when your ride breaks down in downtown Hot Springs, South Dakota (yes, it really happened to me) not to have to shell $1,800 out-of-pocket for a new transmission.

I see Edmund's review shows a con for soggy suspension; I can relate as it seems I feel every bump in the road. Will different (better) shocks improve the ride?
Also, I now have 44k miles on the car and wondering if it's beneficial or a waste to change the plugs at this point. I've gotten different advice on this one. Some think you should always change plugs every 2 years or so or 30-40k miles; others say your wasting you money since the newer cars (GM) can go up to 60-90k on original plugs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I'd just pull the bulb and take it to the auto chain, just be careful not to touch the new bulb with your hands, the slight oil from you skin will cause the bulb to fry itself, dunno why... it just will. I learned the hard way on my prior machine (also it says that on the package, but who reads the package )

If everything checks out, the '89's up here are still seen on the road and I've heard of no major problems with them.
Let us know (on the main forum) if you decide to go for it. Good luck.
I went and bought a few when my first one went out - i changed them bot - cant be sure why - just some kind of habit i guess. Its a simple twist 1/4 turn and pull back. pry back the two little holder tangs on the side and it separates from the wiring plug.
I hope that this information will be helpful for others with the same problem.
