I hit a few times with the hammer tonight and it started up but has a faint grinding noise with it when it starts so I am assuming the motor is soon making its final curtain call. How hard is it to replace one of these on an 00+ Bonne?

Mine just went out today, trying to find a store in the area that even has one, im another poor sap who lives in Phoenix too. Mine seems to quit working altogether, then for the last week or so it worked pretty much all week without any failures, now this afternoon it quit again. Sometimes I will be ...

Just swapped out FPR's ($81 bucks at Napa, Delphi brand) took a whole 5 min. I have drove the car approximately 30 min since changing and turned the car on and off 4 times, unable to duplicate the hard start or stalling. It did crank a bit hard the first couple times, but it has not stalled since ...

Well considering I just pulled the vacuum line off the FPR and fuel dripped onto my hand...im assuming that may be the source of my problem????

For the last month or so I have been having problems with hard starts on my car and now the last week or so the car just randomly dies. Not like a surging,stalling,or jerking condition. The engine just turns off and I have to restart it again. I have no DTC codes being thrown and everything appears ...

got the old one back in...just not sure where to get a replacement one as the autozone one listed for the car does not fit.

Ok the FPR that autozone sold me wont fit in my car....its a GP Sorenson, its whats listed as the replacement for my FPR, but the male end is too wide for the car.

Trying to get that snap ring out now...it is a PITA!!!

Ive got the FPR here, how do I remove the old one and replace it. Also to depressurize the fuel system I just pull the FP relay and start the car til it dies?

ran into something interesting while checking for vac leaks...checked the vac hose coming off the FPR and it has a slight fuel smell. I ran my fingers on the male end of the FPR and felt a little gasoline on my finger. Related by chance? Or another problem I need to diagnose/repair?

ok so the MAF frequency is running about 1270hz and6800hz

let me dig a little deeper and see what i can find.

2000RPM
STFT 3.6%- -0.7%
LTFT 14-16.8%
MAP 8.6in.hg
MAF 10.115lb/min

IDLE
STFT 14.8%-16%
LTFT 16.3%
MAP 10.6in.hg
MAF 10.115lb/min

tried a different MAF this morning, still no changes. Still throwing the DTC.

just checked the voltage on the wire harness, its reading between 13-14vdc

yes, testing this with the car running. no reading changes with higher rpms or at idle.

not sure if its my scanner or not, but its still giving me the same reading with the wires unplugged.

for what its worth, the MAF is reading 10.115lb constant with no fluctuation

Hi all,
Ive searched the forums and found some good info on the P0171 code. Heres a little background into my issue. I have been having issues with rough starts for approx 2-3 months now. Just this last week the car threw the P0171 code after I filled up with gas. I have put the car on the scanner ...

Ive had this issue for a while now...I had my car in for ac service probably about 2 summers ago. They replaced clutch,compressor and the control module. Well the control module would not change modes to heat, floor,defrost etc...I have been manually moving the temperature myself by removing the ...
