Best way is to remove it, and take it for testing at any autoparts store. If defective, then you simply exchange for a rebuilt. Also make sure your battery cables to the starter-motor are not corroded

Try a new throttle position sensor.

check cylinder and also calipers are the rotors worn or new?

Your vehicle dose not have a maf sensor. They used a map sensor it is on the engine located under the front of the breater where it attaches to the engine.

yes undo your battery as ans air bag has a connector on the seat and if unplugged could cause air bags to go off with battery still hooked up leat sit for five min. should be four bolts or nuts holding seat down

these ar not fun at all. you have to undo the steering column and shaft so the entire unit lays down on the driver seat, then remove all screw bolts or nuts that fasten the dash to the firewall, then slide the dash backwards toward back of truck obviously and you then can get at the black box the heater core is mounted inside of.you will have to then undo the screws on the cover of this bow,take you jeater hoses off from under hood,then remove heater core. the whole job will takeabout 5 hours with good experience, maybe around 8 with little or no experience. I recomend buying a Haines or Chilton manual to follow if you do this your self. the job really isn't hard,just time consuming,and a few tight places to get into.

The filter is inside the tank. could have a fuel leak, thats why it smells. I would ck it cold, turn the key so that the fuel system pressurizes, then follow the lines and look for a leak. ck any joints, and at the injectors.

Thanks

Have you had the rear diff serviced regularly? If not, this is most likely the cause. Metal builds up on the sensor, and "shorts" it out. Keeping your diff serviced every 30K should help them last longer.

Possible head gasket leak.

sorry to say the advice was probably right /another posibility is fule pump relay went bad do you have fuel when you first turn key on ?

You should just have to take the cover that looks like a triangle off from the inside of the door. The mirror is then held on by 3 10mm nuts. Remove the nuts, remove the mirror, install in reverse order.

crank should have no visible play maybe the crank pulley(harmonic balancer) or misaligned pullley somewhere else also check for cracks on the acessory plate(what all the stuff bolts to)

It may be the water pump that is making the noise if the noise is constant.
