My Corsica has gotten old enough so that I feel comfortable in working on it.
Corsica '93 2.2l
My most interesting fix was fixing the door-lock opening mechanism on my car. GM wanted $250 for the replacement. Decided to look into it myself. After months of having to enter via the passenger side, I got mechanism fixed. Cost $0.00. A spring was rusted. I used a spring from a click pen that my Dad gave me. He got it free from a bank. Curiously, every piece of metal on the mechanism was massively corrosion-resistant metal except the spring.
I'm learning how to use TurnerPro RT with GMDriver. We are using TurnerPro as a scan tool. We are working on reducing the stalling and lurching my car does at low speed.
I have a background in computer hardware repair and computer programming. I find it interesting to diagnose my cars faults from the dinning room table by going over a log session.
