Re: What am I doing??
I replaced the TPS and it made no difference. No power....acts like I'm doing the chicken neck LOL.
Wife laughed and told me to leave it like that because it's how I drive anyways.
It's got to be the fuel pump. I have a new complete assembly on the way from RockAuto.
The battery was over 5 years old so I replaced it with a stronger one.
Took a ton of grime off interior.....and did I mention fir needles!! Holy frick, I've developed a fobia now...
....like sand on a naked woman, it gets everywhere!
The water leak has been an interesting problem to solve. At first I thought it was the sun roof because it was siliconed shut when I bought it.
The water dribbled a little into the drivers side rear passenger footwell when I first got it. Then I parked it on the opposite incline facing down and left it for a week while we were twerking with Miley in Vancouver.....when we returned, the front passenger footwell had a good 3" of water at the deepest spot!!
All the footwells have dried up now but today I discovered under the rear seat on the driver side was soaked.
I'm suspecting water had pooled here and then when I parked it downhill, the water ran into the front footwell.
Could it have leaked past the rear door seal?
I did some paint touch up but generally it's in excellent condition with absolutely no rust anywhere.
The HUD does not work.....another thing to look into.
The traction light comes on after a few minutes of driving and stays on.
I love that all the gauges work as do the steering wheel controls....unlike in my other 94 SSEi.
Oh ya.....I ordered some anodized drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads to go with some fresh calipers...painted red of course.
