lots of things going on here. where is the car from? this may even happen near the ocean. pin hole leaks in fuel filler neck. it may be rotted at the bottom. I have spare good boot, in that case, I want money for that boot if parting with it. you may have to contact 30 junk yards, parts...

I thought about fuel injection, pull power wires, see if it mattered. I will try to turn it off when cold but do not think it will recover.

the pump was replaced, a ways into the cars life, it does not have any issues with power, noise, sputtering, stalling, cutting out, has plenty of power under load, up hills. what about vacuum leaks?

the fuel pump was replace a while ago would have too look at mileage but probably replaced at 50-60k original miles. i replaced the filter very recently.

hello, there are no codes that I am aware of. I have a basic code reader, there is no check engine light, no strange fuel consumption. running premium, does not matter for warm up.

Hello thanks for the info. Do you think this will entail replacing both throttle body and intake gaskets at the end of the process to rule these out? It seems like the procedure you mention above is prep for the new gaskets? It looks like the new gaskets have a paper piece and o rings for...

Have replace many tune up items like coils, plugs, v cover gaskets, upper timing chains, new denso premium o2 sensors seem to be a bit smoother idling and driving when warm. car starts in all temps, has power, no bog, no oil consumption, now loss of power. when cold it has a rough idle. after...

sway bar bushings are a pia. use a real long extension from the top, do not take everthing out of the front. extensions, if needed do harbor freight, u will not use them much but they will last a while. I got a greasable one that was urethane, greased 2x in so man years as the access is...

re this, did mine 8 years ago. ball joint junk, original struts, junk, sway bar bush junk. recently had to replace rear lower control arms though at 160, you may blow those off unit noise. frankly I like the monroes as I do not want a stiff ride, oe spectrum. i notice NO DIFFERENCE since...

Hello, hopefully ppl will not need to go that level to get ac. I get the idea. My system had a faulty datc,when replaced with a good one, the problem almost went away. I can surmise at this point the dccv is likely working properly. Initially I even changed out the dccv for a new one, got...

funny everyone says it is this, after second datc, first one had condition issues, the dccv seems to be stopping coolant flow with ac on. ac is very cold, do not have to use coolant clamps. only did for diagnostics. someone said it could be a fet on the board. dont assume every time it blows...

found monroe struts have been pretty good on my car and had thicker mounting tubes. they where oe spectrum whatever. do not care if some dont like, maybe fomoco changes after 2000.

Can a fluild clamp be used, maybe near the fire wall, for one side of the heater core hoses to stop coolant flow the the passenger side? Likely temporary measure. Would this damage anything in the system? Would put on flexible part of heater hose. DCCV sending hot coolant due to possible...

it is a 2000 with a 3.9 engine. I have max heat both sides, doubt any blockages unless it is causing the high heat? did you read my post, this is my second dccv with exactly the same syptoms. i noted the low voltage on one side of the coil, likely coming from the datc. details above. the...

AC blows hot on passenger side. Have done extensive work on this. On second DCCV. First was aftermarket, second may be bosch do not know. The vendor replaced the part. Get that there are problems with some aftermarkets. The 1st one did not have any residue in chambers. This is doing the...
