Blew original motor with dry nitrous kit @ 3400 mi. (hose came off fpr, never raised fuel pressure to compensate)

Put a salvage motor in with 5k on it.

02 ls sport 5spd...bought it new with like 200 something miles on it. had to do a dealer trade and they had to drive the car to the lot i bought it from. got 59k and some miles on it now..close to 60k. only had 2 problems, both the same problem. the wires came loose from the iat sensor internally. causing it to not function correctly. one was under warranty and the other wasnt. thats no big deal. oh and i over filled the oil once and it caused the rear main oil seal to blow. that was covered when it was still under warranty. tho i didnt fess up about my oil thing tho. bad bad person i know..LOL those are the only problems that ive had that i can remember with it. still runs strong to this day. been down the track over 100 times, driven hard daily. still gets great gas mileage. im happy with it, just need to finish my turbo kit now. <br>

18,000 miles and running strong. I had that a/c control knob problem too. Said the blend doors were hitting the openings and by trying to force the knob the cables broke. Did everyone go get the epm upgrade? When I last went (to have my drivers side mirror replaced for excessive vibration) they said there was a optional epm upgrade. Took like 20 minutes. I think my gas mileage has dropped since then and just want to know if anyone else had this done yet. <br>

17,500 miles on 03 Cavy..Had same stalling problem (as do many, there is a bulletin out) just had to fix something with the computer and same cable problem...Also had to replace one exhaust bracket due to rattle..Good part is that my dad is GM mechanic (only person that touches my car), so he gets paid to work on my car and it is under warranty, so I get it done for free...lol... <br>

28,000 miles. So far the only problems i had were:

2 check engine lights, one was a wire off, the other was my 02 sensor.

The only problem I have now is sometimes when I start the car, I get my service light and ABS light on. It happens like once or twice a week. I just turn the car off, and the lights go out.

2002 coupe dorry if i put mine in (its non-eco) i have 49k miles on mine..22,000 of those miles were put on from sept of 02 til march 03. i used to travel from Cape May to Ocean CIty alot (30 mis each way) 6 days a week. the only problems i had on mine was recently an O2 sensor, kept going on and off randomly; when i went to go get it fixed, it turned off b4 i got to the dealer and its been off since .(that was a few months ago), and my cruise control doesnt work either..
