Slow Motion
First off, thanks to Captain Morgan for his incredible speed in making me an account. I've been browsing the forums for about a week now and I came across the "closed registration" threads and I sent him a message on twitter. Within minutes, I had a new account.
Right off the back, two things concern me. The rear window is a slider, something that I have never seen on any of the typhoons on the internet. Another thing is that I don't believe the seats say Typhoon, I may be mistaken though as I'll look at it later on this week. I'll get the vin first thing tomorrow and simply call the dealer to check, but is there a website I can look it up on?
Secondly, my uncle, who hasn't touched a computer in...well maybe ever, just bought a GMC Typhoon from a local guy for $6,500. I believe it has 66k miles on it. The car had been sitting in a garage for over 7 years, untouched. I seem to be his internet liaison, for almost anything in the world, and I told him to let me do research on the truck before he started letting "pookie n' dem" mess with stuff, which led me here.
My goals for the truck, which may be different from his, are to make sure it runs and functions as it should off the assembly line first, then add stuff. I've driven it 4 times in the last week and it's running horribly hard. We've had new plugs/wires put in, changed the fuel pump (cheapy from autozone), and put in a new battery. It's still running odd, so I've suggested we take it to the dealer for a full diagnostic, then begin the repairs from there. Any other ideas?
