Re: starts. dies. no power at key turn. then starts again. ?

yes I know, I had my oil changed a couple weeks ago at a "drive thru" place and he pointed out an oily sludge type of stuff in my coolant reservoir. My engine oil was also low, as indicated by my "check your oil level" light. I'm hoping for the best...ugh.

Oil will more or less stay oil when it's ...

Re: Launch Shudder??

Re: Launch Shudder??

Did the shop find any transmissions codes? Was the PCS (pressure control solenoid) replaced during the rebuild?

I've had two places tell me my transmission is fine (not sure if they know this by scanning or driving it)..I'm not sure I'm buying it, but like I've said, I'm not a mechanic..as far as ...

Re: Launch Shudder??

:banghead: well, had the springs replaced with moog springs that are the correct ones (now correct struts and springs are on it) and it sits 3/4 inch lower in the front, hopefully with more settling to come. Car is still shuddering during take-off and turns..so very annoyed at this point. :dontknow:

Re: mildewy smell when I turn on my air

Thanks!! So, does the hose come out directly below or does it weave thru and come out somewhere else?

Re: mildewy smell when I turn on my air

ok guys, so I had my oil changed yesterday and I asked them to check the drain hose for the A/C..they couldn't find it!! :dontknow: Any tips on helping them locate it. I don't think the guy changing my oil had much experience under his belt..although he did great with the oil change itself..

Thanks ...

Re: stereo stays on when the doors are opened

I had the stereo installed in Feb of 2012. So I doubt any warranty exists. Only when my struts got real bad did it start jarring loose. I will take it back to him to tighten up and see if he can see any loose wires..

Re: stereo stays on when the doors are opened

Soundsational knows their stuff, I'd take it to them. Hopefully it won't cost you anything, if anything labor.

Hopefully it turns out well!

Re: stereo stays on when the doors are opened

Sounds like an installation issue, who did you have install it?


Xtreme Audio in Plainfield installed it at first. They completely jacked it up, so.......................
I had Soundsational audio here in Indy RE-install it. Very reputable place. But...due to bad struts and shocks (all fixed now ...
