Make sure all the vacuum hoses are connected from the manifold. The MAP sensor hose can cause problems too. Does it run good otherwise? Has the transmission been serviced? Sometimes a service will help, but it should be done peiodically to prevent problems from showing up. The light coming on indicates a problem somewhere. They usually can get closer to what problems are there and have them fixed. Engine running problems will affect the...

I'll check to make sure all the vacuum hoses are connected. Engine runs great, was told that motor was replaced with a rebuilt unit at 152,000, and when odometer randomly flashes on/off I can see it's stuck at 162,000 miles, so the motor seems to be okay. Don't know if the transmission has been serviced, previous owner didn't have much information about the service record, but she told me she didn't have any work done...

Yes.

Thank you Bert! I was so sure this was all related to the recall. I took it to the dealer earlier today, and they told me these issues were not related to the recall part (meaning they weren't going to fix them). Unfortunately, they tried to rush me in and out as quickly as possible, and the person I was stuck speaking with had no idea what he was talking about. Because of that, I feel duped. Also unfortunately, it's Saturday, so I...

Same to you!

Quote : "As far as the solenoid, see if it clicks with just turning the key on without turning to crank. If it gets powered up with ignition, then it has to be a special solenoid that can handle constant power. The older cars that had a starter solenoid only energized with cranking RTG, I completely misunderstood what you were saying here, but in retrospect I don't see how - as it seems very clear to me now. I think you hit the...

I have a stalling problem. It stalls at any speed and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it stalls. It stalls at all speeds. The kicker here is that it is normally hard to start right after it stalls and usually I have to let it sit for a couple minutes before it will start again. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
