Well now that I have new stuff to install in the car, I decided to look for solutions once again on trying to solve the engine problems, so I took to Google. Pretty quickly, I found a site where frequent issues are posted for specific models/years. There were 99 complaints for the '00 Buick LeSabre (only trailing behind the '01) divided up into smaller categories. I clicked on the Engine category and the #1 complaint with the most entries read "Engine stalls/Shuts down while driving".

Wonderful.

I clicked on it and all except one person said that they were not sure at all on how to fix it. The one person who did claim to fix it replaced the gas module in the gas tank. Not totally sure what they mean by "gas module" though. Does this imply something like the fuel sensor or the fuel pump?

Gas modual? I worked in a mechanics shop and we never did that. Maybe he meant fuel pump

Yeah that's what I figured. The one error code that my car throws occasionally triggering the engine light is "System Too Rich - Bank 1" which has something to do with there being either too much or too little oxygen in the fuel (too rich is either "too much fuel" or "too much oxygen", but I forgot which it was). That code comes and goes and the light generally spends more time off than on, but the engine problems are a constant thing. I can work around them with some hassle so that I can "reliably" drive the car, but I can't operate the car in a normal manner and it takes longer to start it and let it sit for a while before I can drive it (problems only happen when the engine is warm/hot, but never when cold).

I'm not really explaining all the issues as I've done in the past, but my current projects include replacing the brake lines and the fuel filter. Other things that would be helpful for figuring out include:

- Finding out why the carpeting in my trunk is damp....doesn't seem to be any issues with the sealing
- Finding out what the popping noises are that come from the front left side of the car (sitting in driver's seat point of view), but I've had the suspension tested repeatedly with no problems. It happens most when steering.
- Finding out why the front left brake moans like a dying humpback whale.....my pads have those scrapers on them to alert me when the pads get low, but it's nothing like that. I'm planning on taking the front wheel off tomorrow to look at it. I have so far only replaced the rear pads and rotors since having the car, so I wouldn't be surprised if the front ones are running low.

I live in Cedar Springs, in Kent county. It's pretty small and we have only seen snow once and it lasted for only a day

dude im like 20 minutes from you, i live in Hudsonville, Ottawa County

as do i ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Looking at Miatas when I found this: http://memphis.craigslist.org/cto/5368780054.html

Is this a good buy?
based on the mods, towing stuff, price, and front damage(hood and bumper were likely replaced at one point from a front end collision, hence the "idgaf it's just going to happen again" matte paint job), i'm sure the current owner used it as a drift missile

the aesthetic mods are tasteless as well. stay far away from it as well as the owner and his friends because they'll probably drift right into your starfish

Just had to replace my windshield wipers when it began raining halfway through. But at least I did something productive today :P

Im half tempted to kill myself


Why?
Because i am not responsable and will do something stupid and oversteer into a semi truck or something like that.
