  1. 130 - front 02 snesor circuit malfunction 500 - vehical speed sensor malfunction 1101 - neutral saftey switch high m/t 1121 - neutral position switch high m/t 1540 - vehical speed sensor 2 malfunction did you hit or runover something? Cold start issue - what is the fuel pressure when the car is first cranked and stone cold? You have multiple issues here. Get a used fuel pressure regulator, but i want to know what the gauge reads after a cold overnight soak. nipper
  2. Maybe just the disc, wont know till you open it up. If its got oil on it, replace it. nipper
  3. In adition to what was said.... Actually one driveshaft assembly with four universal joints. To add toi the confusion you ahve two 1/2 shafts that make up the driveshaft nipper
  4. First thing to do is rotate the tires on that side of the car and se if it moves. Then we will go from there. nipper
  5. Very first thing to do is get yourself a hydrgometer and test the coolant to see what you have protection down too. Cold weather can be just as hard on an engine as hot weather. The very first thing i would suspect is the thermostat. How ols is the t-stat and the radiator cap? nipper
  6. Rear mains dont usually leak, but they dont like to be disturbed either. i bet its the rear main leaking again, they require some genlte handling to get them just right sometimes. nipper
  7. i have more faith in a 7 cylinder that was 8 as opposed to a 3 that was a 4. nipper
  8. If you had 4 cylinders your 4eat would last. With just three cylinders, you can be the grand experiment. nipper
  9. Very very bad idea if you want the bottom end of the engine to last. You will waste a lot of fuel, add alot of pollution, have an engine that is vibrating badly and working alot harder then it should to make the car go. You will also have a dramatic loss of power. Other then that it's your car and your money. nipper
  10. Each car model is different, but soobies will break the windshield when they go off most the time. Thye use the windshield to help wedge the bag in place so it does its job, and canbe mounted where it is in the dash. nipper
  11. And we may have a winner ...... check the dimmer bulb or swap them and see if the probem moves. nipper
  12. There are many differnt systems out there. Some have motors, some use explosives, some use cables. pre-tensioners have been around since the 80's on luxury and saftey enhanced cars (volvo MB saab). As the technology proved itself, and as crash survivbilty became a selling point, they have become more common and cheaper to produce. MOst now use what was described or small explosive charges, as the cable and motor systems had to react as the accident was happening. I am not quite sure what year they started on, but yes very expensive to replace. nipper
  13. As opposed to dying or getting severly harmed in a crash. There is no price on that. nipper
  14. So instead of a lump of coal you got an h-6, interesintg. OK the pin is the pretensioner, yes you need new seatbelts. Airbags are looking for very specific impact profiles, so yes they wouldnt have gone off if the impact wasnt proper. They are there more for SUV impact then other cars. The brunt of the impact was probably low enough not to trigger the side, but the shock got transmitted to the frame which the front sensors picked up on. nipper
  15. Not strange, you have a burned out or shorted bulb someplace. The flasher uses the resistance of the bulbs to help time it. When one bulb goes out, it flahses faster. On older ones they are bi-metalic strips, so a burned out bulb wouldnt allow the strip to heat up enough and it would stay on. Remove bulbs and check them physiclly, especially the dual filament bulbs. nipper
  16. YOu need to do a wet/dry compression test on all four cylinders, but it sounds like you have a burnt valve. nipper
  17. You may need more then airbags. You may also need airbag sensors and seat belt assemblies. I dont know if this car has seatbelt pre-tensioners on it. Also seat belts themselves are supposed to be replaced after a crash as they are stretched out. The weave allows for some stretching during high G forces to halpe cushion the decceleration due to an impact. Is this a crash car? nipper
  18. Thast why i wont install my CAI. It takes air from too low in the fender, and i already have had Blu that deep in water. nipper
