hope this helps you.
P.S you may have to replace the idle air control sensor. good luck m8.
hope this helps you m8.
Most pumps are not re-servicable, and need to replaced as a whole. You might want to check to see if you have a slight fuel leak at any and all connections on the fuel lines from and to the fuel tank; as this may be the culprit. most leaks occur at the fuel filter, as this gets changed frequently.
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
If you can then try this. This requires two people and some patience. One person has to align the exhaust pipe in relation to where you want it to be, next get a piece of rubber hose and insert it over the bolt to give you a reachable extra hand. Sometime the hose is not completely straight, so a piece of wooden doweling inserted into the hose is quite helpfull in helping to thread the bolt in correctly. With a little trial and error you should be able to accomplish your task at hand. P.S. the rubber hose also will prevent you from cross-threading the bolt, which can lead to more problems and headaches, and lots of swearing.
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

1. check, and replace the fluid,if required(usually after 10 months), and use the correct fluid, and friction modifer if needed.
2. Check all the connections to the rear differential to make sure that it is not moving in any way other than it should be. The rear diff should not move left to right, or back and forth.
3.Do you hear the rear diff howl? IE:Can you hear the rear diff wind up and down as the vehicle accelerates and decellerates; this sounds like a pronounced humm.
If so, then the rear diff bearings need to be changed, and not just some of them, all of them; front and rear pinion bearings,carrier bearings,axle bearings and seals, and a new crush sleeve, not to mention that the rear pinion bearing had to be removed with a press, and the new one pressed on. AND, the crush sleeve has to be set with a rotational torque wrench(only available from a dealership), if this is not done correctly, then it has to be disassembled and a new crush sleeve inserted.
What is a crush sleeve, and what does it do? A crush sleeve determines the the amount of back-lash, and front-lash, that is needed to keep the gears properly meshed according to acceleration and decelleration.

I suspect the v.s.s at 95%. Be aware that changing the v.s.s. is easy, as long as you DO NOT take the housing off the transfer case. If you do take the housing off, mark the relationship of the V.S.S housing to the transfer case, as this is crucial to the sensor and the info it transmits to the E.C.M.

If you DO need to replace the flasher; then heed this warning: the airbag is armed, and can deploy at anytime the battery is connected.Disconnect the battery, and wait AT least 2 minutes(the system has a back-up capacitor that must fully discharge).
The flasher is located in the fuse/relay box just left of the steering column. When the flasher unit is functioning correctly, you can hear it click. If it does not click on one side or the other, then a faulty turn signal bulb is indicated. If both signals fail to blink, the problem may be due to a blown fuse, a faulty flasher unit, a broken switch, or a loose or open connection.

If you have a compentent mechanic,hubby,neighbour,ect.. then have them do the work for you, and you will save ALOT of $ on this repair, as this is more time, than money. I always spend the $20 on buying a Haynes repair manual, as this will tell you everything on how and why of most(if not all) problems that you will ever have.
If,(and i doubt) this problem occurs again in the next 2-3 months, then the vent hose or the vent itself(located at the end of the hose) is plugged, or the hose has collapsed on itself.
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
This sounds like there is an ignition heating problem due to many, many, possibilities. Unless you can provide more(as much as possible would be apperiated) info, then i am as confused as you.
I watch these forums everyday, (as of today)
To find out if your particular vehicle was in fact factory equipped with heated seats then take the VIN # to a dealership to get all info(get them to give you a print out, as this will prove invaluable in the future, for many reasons), and proceed from there.
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
BY changing some wiring around you have changed the voltages, and signals to the ECM,(that reqire precise voltages),which now has created havoc in the ECM's software.
I am very suprised that you vehicle is still running, really, i am.
When JGC came out, it was based on the principle that everything involved in the unit acts as a whole, and not as an independent unit, thus reducing processing timing in the software and hardware,creating faster, more precise decision-making capabilities than the older models. This in a nutshell means: better fuel economy, better handling, better braking,ect.ect...
You had better put everything that you have taken out/ unistalled back to the way it was.AND THEN go to a dealership to have your original software in the ECM uninstalled, and re-installed to factory specs.
This i suspect MAY fix your problem.
You have thrown a monkey wrench into a well oiled machine.
I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.
Now there are at least two of us with this problem.
I have changed the tranny oil and filter, and have adjusted the bands with no results.
My transmission also whines or whistles as I begin to move in low, this fades away as it changes to second gear and so on.
Does yours do the same?. Could it be related?
The fuel pump pressure and it tests out to factory specs.
I tested the wiring at the pump while someone turned the key on and found out that there wasn’t power so I swapped the fuel pump relay from the other vehicle but that didn’t help.
I checked to make sure that there is a good ground at the computer.
I replaced the ignition switch and that didn’t help either.
Any ideas what else I could look at?
Hope that’s what the problem is!
By ths way I could never totally get my oil pan out of there..I had to clean the gasket surfaces by feel! Did yours?
Thanks
I had problems with cabin lights before and I spent sometime going through the relays. The relays would be my first place to start because 1)easiest, 2)if the headlight switch has some affect, the problem is inside the car (as opposed to the entire electrical system grounding out), but who knows, maybe there is a short that is killing the entire circuit; you should watch and see if certain things stay on (radio, gauges, cruise ctrl?).
If the whole system shorts, or grounds, what would actually be happening is a piece of metal shorts the system, heats up and bends away or is shaken away, and does it over and over making a steady beat.
I think it would be better to have a loose or faulty relay that you can jiggle around and put back in place. These relays are small (inch cubed) boxes with pins sticking out of them. In my 93 GC there are relays located under a panel in the glovebox, under the passenger side dash, and a few under the driver dash. Take a screwdriver and go to town on all the plastic panels that cover them up.
Go to the library and look for their vehicle information data (some big old books) and look up GC info on headlight relay/circuits.
I'd just use the manual light switch if I didn't have time or motivation to find some relays.
Good luck!
Some reasons the lights stay on: 1) It thinks a door is open (you said this is not true) 2) It is getting a faulty message from the wireless entry (you know how the lights go on when you unlock it, right) 3) Cabin light switch is faulty (probably not since it goes off when you start it)
I feel your pain about taking that fuse out to keep it from draining. I just kept it out because they're so hard to wiggle in and out.
If you have problems with your wireless entry, or automatic locks I think that is the starting point. I have very limited experience with this, so good luck!
