The suspension is dead!!!!!! clunky clunky clunk. So today I ordered new Struts Tokico hp, ( pontiac will probably tell me how crappy they are) urethane bushings, inner/ outer tie rods, performance T/C rod bushings, and lower ball joints. Other than the bushings and struts everything in the rear end seems to be fine, wheel bearings are good too.

Don't use the performance T/C rod bushings. Unless you like driving down the road and have the T/C rod bust on you and loose your steering, etc....

Oh, I just put them on, so I probably can't send them back! Thanks for the warning though, I guess I'll get a set of the rubber ones, and do one urethane and one rubber.

Check voltage at the fuel pump plug under the hatch matte (black & green wires... white rectangle plug).

No voltage there either, awesome idea though, if it was bad connection. I have voltage at the relay under the dash, so I'll figure out where the harness plugs in and check voltage there. Haynes manual schematics are really difficult to follow, because they are all black lines intersecting black lines.

That's why if you can get the original hard copy FSM for your year of Z. The wiring diagrams are all in color. Look around the web, I know they show up on Ebay periodically. Good luck man.

I figured out the fuel problem, and I feel like an idiot. The relay under the dash was dead, I heard the one next to it clicking. A lot of frustration for nothing.

UPDATE!!! I'm putting the stereo in, the amp, sub, and rear 6x9's are in. I made the box myself, didn't see the point in spending $200 for one when I have some 3/4" hd particle board lying around. Here are some pics.

It's coming along quite nicely.
