This car is a piece of junk. ran for 1 year. now can't keep it running. lost my job because of this car not running. sad beacuase it's a good looking car. but that's easy to see cause its always standing still.I'm going to get rid of it as soon as I can.
This comment is from an auto repair professional: You always hear the crying from those who run there cars in the ground and expect them to last forever without performing any required maintenance when needed. I bet you followed the manufacturers scheduled servicing, you know, that little book that comes in the glove box of new cars? There included so the owner can know when to service the coolant system to clean out old anti-freeze to prevent sludge build up which leads to improper cooling, and other various servicing. You said you had a problem with lower intake gasket? You're not alone there pal, it is a poor gasket to start with, but fixing it correctly once and you won't have that problem again. This advise is not only for the Monte Carlo, but for all makes and models, service them and you will get more use and pleasure out of your car.
Man just take care of the car and it will take care of you.. I own a 96 monte and shes a soldier...
