To check if there is a heavy drain on the battery, remove the battery terminal anyone ..positive or negative, thn try to fit it back to the battery and as you are doing so check if there is a heavy sparks as the terminal touches the battery, if there is a heavy spark means there is a strong drain somewhere but if there is a weak spark , its normal due to the car clock, and the music system too.
The first place to look for battery drain would be the alarm system if one is fitted in your car.
The other way is tideous one ..is to remove all the fuses iin the fuse box and the relays and thn refitting them one by one noting which one will throw heavy sparks fuse side and the relay side you will note a clicking sound from it...you thn follow the fuse box decal as to what gadget or compenant its fitted too and follow it.
Hope this helps!

seems , but can not understand that post lacking periods. the booster is cracked and sucking vaccum to the engine .. the brake poster is vacuum powered but must not leak if does leak the causes and illegall air flow to the engine main air supply and causes engines to race fast RPM at idle. now you know why. even the hose to it can be bad or fell off. but i bet the booster diaphragm inside is cracked. the service manual shows the leak down test on boosters all do .and if it leaks it is bad. end story.

under dash drivers side

instructions should be in your manual

find out what code it is showing and repair

you may need new oil control valve.

it seems to me that it was flooded so it had too much gas left in the dash pot don't press the gas at all when starting because as soon as you turn on the key the fuel pump will send the right amount of fuel you need to your system keep track of it and if it continues to do this check your fuel pump

Easy to check it out, just get some premium gas and see if problem goes away, it's not going to ruin your finances.

Check the anti-theft module and relay

it's just a normal hookup it will just reset your computer but that won't hurt anything

let go the bracket holding the battery in place remove the positive and negative terminals it should lift out

coils

could be the radio grounding out

You probably have a sporadic fuse failure - go in and replace the fuses linked to these functions with NEW fuses and make sure there is no corrosion on the fuse box connections - this should solve.

YOU GOT IT. I'm sure the oil pressure went low when the car was on ramps causing a CE light. The louder noise poss wrong belt or exhaust leak!?

put some WD40 in the lock keyholes I had same problem and that fixed it

That shop does not know how to test your cars problemsInjector Cleaner is not a fix for dirty or worn injectorsIf they don't use an oscilloscope in their testing, they areliving 25 years in the pastWhy did they not find the problems,they said they did lots oftesting,apparently stopped somewhere & gave up or don'thave the ability to do what is necessaryCould very well be a mechanical issueA cylinder leak down test,mechanical or using a transducer& scope, as well as scope the injectors & cylinder contributiontest, will tell you most likely whats wrong.Try another shop & research their capabilty first

Dos it immediately restart? Does this only happen when first started cold?
