Can somebody tell me why this keeps getting marked as sold??? Is there a time limit on classifieds? Seems like the owner of the car should be the only one that can mark the listing as sold, and I...

I probably will in the Spring. I’m honestly not in a huge rush to sell it, and since it’s not exactly a winter car, I think I’ll have better luck once the weather gets warmer.

Heck yeah! I have to give a shout out to this forum. It’s helped me many times with this car. It also helps that I work at a place that makes decals, so I just had to make one.

I would say your best option would be to salvage parts from a FWD 016 tranny and rebuild it. Most manufacturers, to save cost, will use the same transmission guts between the FWD and AWD/4x4...

Somehow this was marked as sold, but it’s definitely still available.

Rough idle solved?

As long as I’ve owned my 87 Coupe GT, I’ve been trying to track down the source of the rough idle when it’s warm. It runs perfectly smooth when cold but gets worse as it warms up. I’ve tested all of...

I am the second owner of a 1987.5 Special Build Coupe GT. My uncle bought it brand new and passed it on to me a few years back. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car, but a growing family (and a bad knee) are...

On my car, Bosch part number 71031 is listed as the primary, but a footnote says a secondary filter is required. What's even more confusing is what Bosch shows as the primary filter (before the...

If it absolutely won’t start, my guess is the fuel pump. Mine did that exact same thing when the pump gave out. It barely started and ran for a few seconds then quit. After that it just kept cranking...

Try to go reman whenever possible. Manufacturers tend to make a “one size fits all” axle, which really means it will fit every car except ours. If you look at your original shaft and compare it to...

Thanks Rog. I’m not expecting to get a ton for it. I think if I can get at least $1500 I would be happy. It’s in good shape, but it does have its own set of quirks. I would probably keep it forever,...

Probably have to sell my CGT Special Build

Well as the title says, I will most likely have to part with my 87.5 CGT Special Build within the next couple of months. The main question is how much should I expect to get for it? Hagerty lists one...

Check the connector at the tail light cluster for corrosion. Also follow each of the brass pathways from the harness to each bulb and check for corrosion. I noticed my lights weren't working either,...

Be EXTREMELY careful when prying on that, especially if it's really stuck. I've read of guys cracking the housing by prying on it. Use some PB Blaster or some other penetrating oil and let it sit. I...

I was able to swap the air meter this morning, and it definitely made a difference. There's still a bit of a misfire at idle, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. It also idles higher now. It used...

If I have a spare untouched air meter/fuel distributor with the exact same part number as mine, will it bolt right up to mine without any adjustment?

Bad ignition coil?

I've had a rough idle on my 87 CGT for quite a while now, and after ruling out vacuum leaks, fuel pressure, etc., I'm thinking my coil might be bad. It misfires pretty hard when it's warm and when...
