Any ideas/help please...why does the gas pump nozzle keep turning off??
That said, there is a check valve in the filler neck that must open to let fuel be added. There is a bypass hole so some gas will go down the filler tube but slowly. Remember your chemistry here and do not poke a screw driver down the neck to open the valve. Sparks are not your friend here. However, you may use a section of stiff hose or other rubber product to loosen the check valve or determine if something is blocking the tube.
If your are not familiar with working around gasoline fumes, then please use a garage to replace the check valve.
Let me know what you find!
Remember that anytime the battery is disconnected or discharged to the level you are describing, that the ECU will need to cycle for a while before your vehicle runs correctly again. The engine may speed up and down and idle rough before the computer gets enough info from the sensors to smooth everything out.
A word on batterys, the more expensive ones are just adding the price of the warranty on. Concentrate on the cold cranking amps, get all you can afford, that is suggested for your vehicle. If you live in a warmer climate, dont worry to much about COLD cranking amps either. The salesman will tell you differnt but he's just trying to boost sells.
I managed a major parts store for some time.
Let me know!
The truck has 58K miles and showed no signs of transmission issues.
My wife was driving home and the O.D Off light started blinking. A few miles down the highway later smoke started coming from under the hood.
She managed to drive home (only a couple of miles) with white smoke pouring out
The white smoke was caused by a cracked thermostat housing, but the entire engine compartment was covered with dripping Antifreeze fluid.
My theory is that the OD light is related to the engine compartment getting soaked with anti freeze since they happened minutes apart.
Does anyone know what might be causing the OD off light?
2) Assume no transmission irregularities at all?
The OD light flashing is a warning that your Transmission is
going out. Taking it out of OD and keeping it out will usually let you continue to use it indefinitely in that situation. It's possible I guess that something got wet from the coolant eruption and shorted out that circuit causing the light to turn on. Eventually, however, it should go back to normal. If it doesn't, your transmission may yet fail.
Why would the system just activate on its own? How do I disable or bypass it so I can start my car? I really don't want to tow it to a dealership-that would be very expensive? Why is this system even on the car if the owner can't disable it? I have 2 keys, but they don't have buttons to lock or unlock the doors.
Any insight would really help.

Since it was held on just by compression, I decided to replace it. Didn't want the liftgate to land on someone's head.
Dealer price is about $70 per strut for a 2002. Bought from partgeek for less than $25 each delivered.
They are branded Sachs, but look exactly like the originals.
10 minutes to replace both.
I have a continued question on this matter that I can't find. I also have a burned out bulb in the A/C panel cluster, any idea how to replace that? What kind of bulb it is, etc? There may be a bulb burned out in the radio as well. Any way to replace that without replacing the radio? Any assistance you can lend on these 2 related items would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
