02 SSEI terrible gas mileage

I currently drive 45-50 one way to work running a pretty consistent 65-75mph. Lately I've noticed my mpg's drop, 23-24mpg is all I'm getting. I just want some ideas/guidance on where to start or things to try to fix my problem. I think it is the original cat. I figured I'd start with some small ...

Headlights won't work

In the past few days my headlights quit working. I interchanged 4 bulbs which not all four can be bad, one would think but still nothing. I check the fuses under the hood but didn't get to under the seat. I haven't had a lot of time to tear into it bc I drive an 2 hours in it each day but wanted ...

Re: Michelin Primacy MXV4

Great Tires! My grandparents put these on my 02 right before they gave it to me. That was 6 years ago and they still 8/10 tread left! The only problem is that they are weather checking and I will have to replace them soon.

Shift kit suggestions?

My PCS has been bad for a while now because I haven't really had the time to replace it. After some of the things I've read, a shift kit sounds like a better idea. Any suggestions on which one to buy or not to buy. I looked at the INTENSE link but I just want some other opinions.

EVAP vent valve and solenoid help!!

I have replaced the vent valve and purge solenoid and even cleaned the rust off around the gas cap (which didn't seem to me to be enough to cause a leak) and my service engine soon light is still on. Any suggestions or other causes? :???:

Re: power windows slow, tranny hard shift, smells warm

Windows: you can buy just the motor check http://www.rockauto.com The regulator is what usually fails

Hard shift: Does it do it while the car is cold, warm, or all the time? Could be PCS sensor. I would do a trans pan drop replace filter and refill. While you have the pan drop you could look into ...

Working on 02 SSEI that was givento me

A few years ago I inherited an 02 SSEI. Beautiful car with 167k, I still get compliments on it, grandma took care of it well. I'm starting to have a few issues and hate taking it to the dealer.
