I doubt it.Usually if you have a trouble code for lean mixture, the fuel pump pressure is low or the filter is stopped up.I would check fuel pressure first.

linkage will probally have to be readjusted if your lucky, Get it check out before it gets worse, End does damage to the transmission, If it hasnt happen allready,From trying to force it into gear,

Hello

The generic method of bleeding air from the cooling system is to use a floor jack and raise the front of the car as high as possible, then fill the coolant recovery tank full and run the engine until it just starts to overheat, high end of normal zone on gauge, then shut the engine down and run cold water over the radiator core, this will self bleed the system and the coolant will be pulled from the recovery tank, repeat as necessary, never let the recovery tank run dry or more air will be pulled into the system.

It is located in the air intake hose of the engine.

sounds like you got a bad float in the gas tank

HelloThe Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

The groel is the AC compressor itself when it is turning at the slower speed of idle.As long as no error codes are produced, no other drivability issue develops, it is considered within normal operating noises.The only thing you should check is the condition of the bearing on that pulley sheave the clutch clamps onto when it engages. As long as the bearing is not sloppy loose, nor binding tight from a lack of lube, that would be the only point of concern as it is getting up there in mileage.. This is best checked with the serpentine belt removed, and the other idlers and tensioner should be checked for the condition of the bearings at the same time.

Sure you can DIY. Get some wrenches and sockets that fit the bolts that hold it in, take them out, and a screwdriver for the hoseclamps. Once it's out, just do everything in reverse with the new radiator._______________Allobd2.com
