I Fixed my $300 1995 Pontiac Bonneville for FREE Now it's For Sale at Copart!

[@debellis5828]

Rookie GM car guys all 95 and downs OBD1

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

^^ idiot knows nothing about cars. Explain HOW I had my OBD2 connector on the ALDL then wise guy?

[@mattevans8517]

Lmao, I'm not even a mechanic and I know that 1995 is OBD1.5.

[@Mike54877]

Tell us why he is wrong sounds more like you are just being a C sucker

[@TheOcculus]

​@@AutoAuctionRebuildsOBD1.5 is ALDL using the J1962 jack. It's really kind of a strange Critter cuz it's not OBD1 or OBD2. You can talk to it with a Tech 2 or some of the old Snap-on Tools with the magic personality keys. Supposedly the launch 431 will talk to OBD1.5 as well but I've never done it.

[@jimsix9929]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds ignore him Randy, he knows nothing!!!

[@Malvo6820]

Those old Bonnevilles are good for the highway. If I had one, I would keep it parked until I go out of town. Really smooth ride. 👌

[@chopmoptactical2109]

Yep.........i think his had a electric issue these gm ol 90s cars were so loveable but had hiccups in electrical

[@danieljoseph905]

Fog Light switch is on overhead console (at least it was on my 99)

[@chrispearson8779]

Glad you caught a break on that one. I am huge Pontiac fan, someone is going to get a good old Bonnie

[@RareRidez]

Finally some Bonneville action

[@Ngolden2]

Pearl Jam Jeremy on the radio in this video in an old pontiac takes me back

[@edwinaponte7295]

I had a 93 Bonneville, and I drove that car to the ground. Got into an accident( the front end was destroyed )and got the car fixed because I loved that car. She was a great car, the Bonny. She was fast, too, and comfortable.

[@mph5896]

I had a 1995 Bonneville 20+ yesrs ago. The OTC 4000 scanner I had hooked up to it and pulled data. I do remember the car had a dirty MAF and the trans would shift funny. Cleaned a big bugger off MAF and it was perfect.

[@fasteddy917]

So nice to see you catch a bit of relief in the car world. I'd bet that when you stop for gas there will be someone that will tell you how that was the best car they ever owned and how lucky you are to own it.

[@andrewsmith257]

Fog Light switch is close to review mirror and sunglass holder if I remember right. It is a little switch. I had a 98 that my aunt gave me and I loved that car.

[@bullseyestrat]

It was probably the bad gas for the most part. One thing I'd check out is the MAF to see if it's dirty. I had a 95 Grand Prix that did the same thing with the sputtering and hesitating. Cleaning the sensor fixed it.

[@WrenchingOnCars]

In diagnosing this, the choices are ignition or injectors. The easist thing to do is to put a gauge on the fuel rail to see what is happening with the fuel pressures. Your are already into the italian tune up which is dealing with potentially clogged (or poor spray pattern) in the fuel injectors. Perhaps changing the fuel filter?

[@nelsoncortez8729]

Hey Randy, love the Pontiac, had one. Trying to purchase this vehicle on Copart. Paid the $99 fee. Unable to purchase need a broker paid a $199 fee, still can't purchase. Now broker wants another $400. Was trying to (but now) it's gonna cost me ( $1700) unless they come up with more fees.😢 Hope I win this car. Love the videos , you and Mike work good together 👍

[@claytonhughes8495]

Hey Randy I hope all is well

[@talesfromthehood5374]

You're super thorough... Great video! Cool cars

[@peterkwok9608]

Nice Pontiac Bonneville Randy. Looks like a run and drive daily for someone 😎😎👍👍

[@adamtoman5855]

I’d say check the plugs and wires. I had a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cirea, and it would break up from time to time. Turned out it was the spark plugs and plug wires. It was 12 years old when I got it with only 20,000 on it. Plug wires were dry rotted to no end.

[@ricktempleton4886]

Great that you're recovering from your surgery so fast, take it easy.

[@rdpeach]

The subframe loved going in those

[@2003cobramustang]

Great car Randy! Hopefully you can get a 1000 definitely worth it! Love those engines!

[@jimsix9929]

Lucas fuel treatment works very well to get through old gas run a half tank of fresh fuel through it then change the filter

[@Roll-With-It-7]

Not a bad old Pontiac, would be cool if it was a different color though, but other than that it’s pretty nice, keep it up man!

[@clarkleakins879]

Wrap it!

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Awsome car. I had one with supercharger... loved that car.

[@oneyearoutproductions]

Someone the other day commented, that your videos were leaning into flipping cars more than working on them. I myself don't see that, I see you're mixing in a variety...anyway, funny how the simplest fix is successful...lol. have a great weekend 👍

[@carlbernard4197]

Put some Seafoam in the fuel as well. That should help get any water out of the fuel. Also what grade of fuel did you put in? 😊

[@danielventura8073]

Seafoam doesn't work. Never put thatbin your gas tank!

[@user-vq3dc2se5d]

That seafoam is great stuff, I used it and will again,

[@airplaneengine]

Yep, a can of Seafoam and a full tank of fresh gas. Make it a daily driver and see if she evens out.

[@stuartatkins5425]

Had a '95 supercharged Bonneville that we bought because it had 18 way power seats and was a hoot to drive. Keeping it running was a financial nightmare. Now I drive a Honda.

[@bk_goatkim679]

You’re so good at this randy. Keep it up we love the grind ❤

[@americanrambler4972]

Pretty darn decent Pontiac. The biggest hold back is probably the paint color. I wonder if it can be brightened up with a good clean and polish.

[@randyloomis2313]

Might be condensation in the tank from sitting. Try trying throwing some dry gas in and that should straighten it up

[@lloyddowns9481]

Old gags and parcels clogged injectors a good run straightens out a lot of problems

[@nickc9224]

Thebreaking up could be the subframe in the front! check the bushings see if it's sagging!

[@samduty554]

Pontiac and Oldsmobile are my favorite. This car reminds me of the Olds 88. Even better the 80's model Olds best cars of the generation.

[@sf-dn8rh]

Wow I miss my 98 Bonneville, loved that car.

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. Finally being able to run and read the codes to see what's wrong with it.

[@pochosousa4653]

Este es el tipo de auto que me gusta verte elegir y repararlo. Creo que es el típico auto americano de esa época que no todos quieren ver en el canal pero yo sí y creo que los de mi edad (50) también. Espero lo vendas rápido y bien y que encuentre alguien que lo disfrute. Saludos cordiales de un argentino desde España.

[@daveerrington5166]

I had a 96. What a great car

[@excopcar7907]

Randy I have had those cars, the front sub frame bolts rust and brake and start squeaking like that and the back sub frame bolts snap and it was really common on those GM"s

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Excellent! I am very glad to see you winning.

[@jasontengan4554]

Nothing beats a 70 Cadillac Fleetwood!

[@JO-ku1uc]

I second that. It is one of my favorite cars of all time. My dad had one while I was growing up. Last of the true Caddies!!

[@todddenio3200]

Those were great cars and I wish I had kept mine but Lincoln's were just as good and Imperial rode smoother

[@cjmarsh504]

That Bonnie running like a champ.

[@AgentSkelly]

One of the roadside calls I had was for a guy who parked his fiancé’s CRV at the airport in long term parking for 3 months . It had about 3 gallons of gas left in it but since it sat so long in the winter , it went bad along with his battery . So I put in 6 gallons I had on me and we got it running again plus the jump.

[@Concorde-AXDN]

What a great car. Another great video Randy.

[@h.v.davidson4507]

Hey Randy,,, that is now a great little car .........................

[@Daniel-nw8kg]

Hey Randy. Hopefully everything is good on your end?? But, gosh that ol' gal brings back some memories when I was buying those cars for cheap, when I could afford them. But that's in maculate condition and I would buy that in a heartbeat, if my fiance and I were not going through these troubling times.. but keep on filming Buddy, love your channel .

[@jmonte5899]

That scanner will be good for carrying around at Copart, for when you find a vehicle with an engine light on.

[@danielhartin7680]

Many salvage yards don't allow the use of scanners.

[@jmonte5899]

​@@danielhartin7680I've been to many salvage yards and never heard this before. Most salvage yards remove the fluids, gas tanks and batteries, so it wouldn't do them much good to ban the scanner anyway. If it won't run, it won't scan.

[@LanceBerg-ep4ww]

Love the content randy, from south africa

[@Poison_Raccoon]

I love Randy's videos

[@JaiLeeroy]

Bring the scan tool with you on walk arounds for in the field diagnostics!

[@matthewc3120]

I believe he said those aren't allowed to be brought in. They probably wouldn't want someone in there clearing CEL and, thus, would be misleading buyers. The yard could be found liable even though they didn't do it.

[@JaiLeeroy]

Oh, didn't think of that. We know Randy wouldn't clear the codes but I guess someone could, ruining it for everyone.

[@matthewc3120]

​@@JaiLeeroy probably the same yahoos that steal keys would clear codes.

[@krisyorker]

imagine buying a reader almost the cost of the car..

[@TheOcculus]

OBD1.5 is ALDL with the J1962 jack You can talk to it with some of the old Snap-on tools. You get into the personality keys and that's just a kind of a nightmare but you can do it.

[@fredearl5344]

I love them but in MN hard to find the engine cradle rust bad here so cars are mostly in junk yard

[@williamsinger4124]

Same here in NY. I recently scrapped a 97 LeSabre same basic car bc the front cradle was one mount away from falling out. And that last bolt was merely a suggestion itself lo.

[@jerrytate9394]

I would love to own this car as a spare. I live in upper east TN. and I will check on Copart. GOD! Copart charges are out of sight!!!! Sometimes more $$$ than a car is worth.

[@jimsix9929]

yes 1995 was all on its own, had the old connector but you can not jump the wires to get codes like the older ones, a 1993 would have about 12 wires at the diagnostic connector, most 1995s only had 2 or 3 it was a data link but newer scanners will not plug in, I have an old snap on MT 2500 that I keep just in case

[@TheNorm959]

I wonder if you just had some bad fuel or dirty fuel filter Randy that would be a safe and good practice car for Nick!! Easy to work on and learning how to drive!!!

[@PeterBurton-hf1nw]

I has one like that green paint and gray interior. Handles like a sports car my wife totaled it playtng ping pong one winter.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

See if it behaves going to the other house and back. That would be a really good test to see if the issue comes back.

[@nickcarbonaro4951]

I have that same scan tool.

I’m waiting on my taxes soon as they come in I’m bidding on this one. This car brings so many childhood memories and I want it badddddd. I’ll gladly give $800/$1000. Will just need it delivered to Dallas Tx

[@gphilipc2031]

Bon Villyea. Get a Maddox PDR Kit at Harbor Freight.

[@robertf4540]

That would be a great cheap transportation car for someone. GM 3800 V6 is pretty much bullitproof. A couple of dings and a couple of windows that don't work. So what!

[@JustinsCarReviews]

Hey Randy. Can you find a 2000-2005 Bonneville??

[@clarkleakins879]

Suggest that you replace the fuel pressure regulator. I had same symptoms for about 3 months in the same vintage pontiac engine. Very intermittent check engine light. Eventually, the car would not start. Mechanic tested fuel pressure and found that it was failed. After replacement at 165,000 never a problem. The water pump blew at 110,000.

[@mph5896]

If you pull off the vacuum line to fuel pressure regulator, it will spit fuel out if bad. If its bad It will cause the engine to run rich and pull fuel out of the fuel trims.

[@j-rockwells3807]

I had a 93 Bonneville as my first car back in 2008 when I got it was spit and sputtering as well i ran all the gas out put some fuel cleaner in there fresh gas didn't have that problem anymore drove it till it reached 200,000

[@Davidgray-kz7ci]

My mom had a 1998 and it had a plastic intake and had to get it changed out about every couple years after the warranty went out.

[@tchasman]

Try a new fuel cap. My 2014 Cadillac 2.0T started acting funky. Threw a PCM code. I did get a momentary Check Engine light. It reset when I re-seated the fuel cap. I started from the simple first. Replaced the fuel filler cap with a genuine GM one. Now, it runs better than new. No more codes. Just a suggestion.

[@damianpasour]

Hey Randy I got a question so I got a 95 Ford Taurus with the 3.8 V6 it only has 63k original miles on car is in great condition for its age what would you think something like this would be worth?

For the fog light you have to pull the head light button all the way out

[@tommyhall2768]

Knew you could fix it buddy good luck

[@howardluecke5494]

Randy, you need to go out and find another broken Bonneville so you can use your scan tool!

[@Thehigher13]

Could it have been a fuel filter?

[@nathantatosian280]

Hi Randy

[@shawnepiscopo5613]

May be far fetched but is it possible the check engine light bulb blew out?

[@Von-by8xz]

Squeak could be old shock or strut.

[@joeduece1]

Wheel blades are real rare

[@RPO6464]

Randy you should just leave the scanner in the car and add that to the reserve for the car.

[@gorgeous6031]

How much?

[@joeschnell5695]

Spark plugs and fuel filter. Simple. When I first got my 2000 grand marquis it seemed to run fine, except when I put my foot hard on it then it would stutter. Changed plugs and gas filter, stutter disappeared.

[@joeduece1]
