  1. Check the ecu for codes, it will have stored one, there is a thread in the garage to show you how. Good luck
  2. I would say that either you have a short somewhere, or the motor is simply done. How long do they work for before the fuse pops, if they even work at all? My rear wiper did this when the motor finally died.
  3. My buddy had a car, and it started doing this and it turned out to be the fuel pump, and it took a week to order the part, and he needed the car, so he would lightly tap on the access door under his rear seat with a hammer. I guess for him it wore out to the point where the pump would stick. I am NOT suggesting you hit your truck with a hammer!
  4. This is kind of how mine acted when a wire on my maf sensor started to intermittently stay connected. I don't know TBI very well, is it just a fuel injected carb? When its running can you rev it up ok? Like can you rev it up to like 2500 and hold it steady there and is it smooth?
  5. Markham? That means you'll be passing through here, feel free to stop by!
  6. Maybe a clogged up catalytic converter?
  7. B would you consider selling a drivers side power heated mirror? When I bought the truck it was on by a bolt then the bolt snapped so I had to re bolt it, but she's getting loose again! It doesn't fold in anymore...so when people walk buy they just further crack the casing.
  8. On the newer r50s if you look at the bulbs on the outside you will see the 2 screws holding the cover on.
  9. It seems to be different for different vehicles, my friends 2000 neon required Power steering fluid, while my other friends Plymouth breeze (both Chrysler) called for ATF
  10. It only does that with the fancy SE controls. I looked in his pics and he has the manual ones like me. My a/c won't click on with the defrost...
  11. I would say so. Check it out and run it first though.
  12. It won't hurt the truck to unplug or leave the failing o2 plugged in. If its unplugged it may affect your gas mileage tho
  13. If it only does it when warmed up, that would indicate a sensor most likely. This is because before it warms up the truck runs in open loop, which means its just doing what it can to keep the motor running. When it goes into closed loop it uses sensor input to adjust the air/fuel mixture.
  14. On my truck, the DRL module must be shot as my DRL's are my high beams at full power. And I discovered that only the drivers side one works and someone just spliced a wire across to the other one. I see tons of vehicles around here, some older some newer, not even nissans, with no DRL's. I only thought they had to work for a safety inspection. My dad drove for 3 years with only 1 drl working on his 93 pathy and the "po" never bothered him about it....
  15. That last one you mentioned could be part of the Throttle position sensor...
  16. I find that I always have to put the a/c on to get my windows to defrost. It also helps if you keep the heat cranked.
  17. This is from the other thread. I saw those bulbs in princess auto, they looked interesting and are on sale this week, I will stop in and grab some!
  18. I really don't know, but you can always take it apart and look. Good thing being is that you can probably get a replacement for cheap if you want, or even better, upgrade to a nice cd/mp3 disk player! I always thought on these trucks if you had the power mirrors, you had the heated mirrors. Guess not. All 3 of our pathys do
  19. I've tested the abs out before, I went to a street that was snowy and slammed on the brakes, my friend said that only the fronts locked up but the rears didn't and I didn't feel anything in the pedal. While in 4wd all 4 lock up but it's much harder to do so.
  20. Power steering fluid in these trucks is ATF...Hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if need be. But that's what I topped mine up with and it's fine.
  21. I'll have to take a tour out to my friends garage where the truck is stored. I will get them sometime this week.
  22. You don't unplug it underneath, I don't have a photo handy, but I can tell you, its one of those 4 plugs near the power steering resevoir. There are 2 white and 1 black wire.
  23. kingman just remember his truck is MPFI not TBI, I don't know if that makes a difference. Kitt, just unplug the o2 and see if its better, if not plug it back in, then try the temp sensor. Trial and error my friend.
