    EVAP Purge Control Hose Lock

    That blue retaining clip broke when I needed to replace the purge valve also. Yours does look like it was already broken by someone. Just use a small pointed dental pick, awl, or small jewelers screwdriver to remove the rest of the blue clip. Then squeeze down on the tab that actually holds...

    Sonic compared to Hond Fit & Ford Fiesta

    Sonic compared to Honda Fit & Ford Fiesta Most of you may know these specs already, but I thought I'd post a comparison here on these 3 sub compacts. First of all, to me the Sonic is more closely a compact car rather than a sub compact. We have 5 bolt wheels and a car that is more solid in...

    Possible GM Vented Oil Fill Cap Overboost, PCV Freezing, ETC

    Just yesterday we did about a 140 mile trip into the city on mostly interstate. So, now that I have over 5,000 miles on the engine (yeah, it's just a weekend road car mostly) I chose to keep up with traffic speed whatever it was. Nice weather about 50F. So we cruised mostly at 70 MPH and for...

    You Can Afford To Spend More . . . So Why Did We Buy A Sonic . ?

    After being on the forum now for some 8 months, it struck me that the forum has many highly educated, professional people along with, I assume, well compensated incomes. Obviously, there are many other cars in the market place so it begs the question: "Why buy a Sonic when you could afford...

    Broken HVAC control knob

    I really appreciate the time and pics you made to show this. Not having any issue so far, but I can tell the Temp Control feels kind of wimpy/loose on my Sonic. So if i interpret the last two pictures correctly, there are two thin cables in a 'bundle" and one wraps around the Control spool or...

    Maybe I am in the minority, but it is starting to get really distracting and difficult to view posts (especially on a mobile device) with more and more signature pictures that are way too large.

    Hood Struts - Hood Lifts - Lift Supports

    Here are some pics and parts used for an alternate hood lift mod. You will need metric socket, open end, and maybe box end wrenches to install these. I purchased the struts and brackets from Lift Support Depot. The Ball Studs are mounted by replacing the forward fender 10mm M6 bolt/washer...
