Re: Need some help

Took the intake manifold off today and did some snooping around there was fuel all over the plenum, i found #4 injector was cracked and squirting fuel inside the intake cover. I replaced the spider with the new updated one and my problems are fixed.

Re: Dex-Cool

I've heard that Dex-Cool eats gaskets and is a big GM mess up to start with. Thats why i wanna flush it out and go green, But i just wanna make sure Dex-Cool isnt required and is a must for the vehicle.

Dex-Cool

My girlfriends 2002 Grand Prix SE has Dex-Cool in it. It has a warning sticker on the overflow that says do not use anything other than Dex-Cool. Is this to stop the owner from adding regular green in with it? My question is can i flush the Dex-Cool and add regular green and not run into any problems?
