2008 SS been great but...........all good now...

I love my SS, I have a LT2 that my wife stole from me, now has 207300 miles, NO ISSUES ever......Bought my SS a year and a half ago...bought with 38K, just turned 60K....dealer took motor and trans out right after I bought it, rebuilt the tranny under warranty...Drove toKey West acted fine.........but the last 4 months the dang thing has been throwing Po0300-Po0301-Po0302-Po0303 and Po0304 coil codes.....I changed plugs/coils....NOTHING seemed to go right, ESC light came on...that was waked tire pressure......but coil codes kept coming back...spit-sputter at 4500-5000..... so tonight I installed new AC plugs....and was feeling up my harness, WHEN, I felt my ground on the back of the head, it felt loose....I wiggled it, then again, and it fell apart in my hand...no a loose screw but a bad joint/shrink tube repair, I guess when the dealer pulled the motor/tranny/cradle.....made a new ground wire, new plugs, and my baby's back!!! I am old skoool.....carbs, points I know....these things.....no so good....but good today!!!

on way to Key West...

I don't know about you, but when I see another HHR SS, I smile.

White smoke sounds like you're burning coolant. Better get it checked ASAP.
