well my car has started to fall apart and i need to fix everything before i head to school in a week and get the car inspected. once im at school i will have no time because i have football. its a 98 csvt with 2.5L 115,000 miles. heres my problems
Engine Light-had 2 codes, gonna get them checked tomorrow
Headlights dont work
Cant put gas in the car
No AC
List to do:
-For the engine light i was gonna get the codes then come home and swap the mils and get the codes again to see if its the mil or the 02 sensor. I know one code is the egr code and the passage ways are all clean. would the egr code make a 02 sensor code cause thats the other code i was getting before.
-Sea Foam the engine
-Clean MAF
-Change the plugs, oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, and coolant
-New rotors and pads
-Hopefully the green circuit board will fix the headlights because i cant find anything else and i was messing around with that when they stopped working
-Call a mechanic and see how much it will cost for my fuel flapper thing to be replaced
-Have AC properly checked to see if it is low or if the compressor needs to be replaced.
I have a couple questions though. I was reading the recall which includes the instructions for changing the flapper and to me it just looks like you need to drop the fuel tank and replace the flapper in it. Is that true?? How hard is it to do myself?? The manual says the car holds 10qts of coolant? Anyone confirm that? Could someone explain to me the transmission flush. I was reading where you flush it of 3 qts, replace, drive it around, do it again for about 3 times and then all the fluid should be new. that true? since ive owned the car the transmission fluid or coolant has never been changed so i figured it would be a good time to do it. I may replace the DPFE sensor as well not sure if it needs to be replaced though.
