    2005 Sun Visor

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere online where I can find a left sun visor for my 2005 Eddie Bauer edition. On one of the mounting brackets it has the part number 8234407 LH. I'm looking for the light tan color. I already checked most of my local auto dismantlers and they...

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for replies. Looks like I'm going to start by replacing the plugs and the rubber boots. Then see if the light comes on again after some driving. Does anyone have some tips/advice on removing the spark plugs? I read that they can break off when trying to remove them. Thanks again!

    Any ideas?

    Update... Ran over to Walmart and picked up a cheap OBD reader. It came up with a P0301 code. So it looks like it's the #1 cylinder. Should I start by replacing the #1 cylinder spark plug? Any other suggestions? Thanks again!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. How do I know if there has already been damage to the catalytic converters? What would the symptoms be? Also, since the light only came on and flashed for about 1-2 minutes and then turned off, does that mean this is just the beginning of the misfire problem? Thanks again!

    Any ideas?

    I have a 2005 Eddie Bauer Edition with about 125,000 miles on it. Today while at a stop light the check engine light started flashing and it did feel like a rough idle. When the light turned green, I accelerated and by the time I was through the intersection the light turned off and the rough...

    Cht p1299

    Does the fail-safe cooling mean the engine is turned off. Or does it mean it "limps" home? Another weird thing happened today. We were sitting at a red light and the RPMs went up on their own to around 3000 and the vehicle felt like it was going to lunge forward had we not had the brake...

    Cht p1299

    Hello, We have a 2000 EB edition with about 112,000 miles on it. For a few months now, the engine will cut off. It's happened a couple times while driving, but lately it seems to be happening while sitting at stoplights. Once the engine cuts off we are able to start it right back up with no...

    P1299 Code

    Yea sorry, I made a mistake. I didn't check the odometer before posting today. Its the wife's truck so I was just taking a wild guess. I wish the odometer would go backwards...

    P1299 Code

    Thanks for the reply. If any of the parts listed were bad, would it cause the temperature gauge to show as hot? Because it always shows at normal while driving... Thanks again!

    P1299 Code

    Hello, I have a 2000 Eddie Bauer edition with around 91,000 miles on it. Recently the service engine soon light came on. Scanned for codes and it shows a P1299. Sometimes when driving, the engine will cut off. At that point, I pull over and the engine will restart with no problems. The...

    What would cause this?

    Any thoughts on what kind of electrical problem it could be? I'll look into replacing the fuel pump relay, pump, and filter. I'll probably have to recruit some help since I've never done a relay or pump myself. Any suggestions on any good tutorials on performing this? To answer your question...

    What would cause this?

    I'm starting to think it could be fuel system related. I'm going to try to replace the fuel filter first and see what happens.

    What would cause this?

    Well... It happened again this morning. But, this time she was sitting idle at a red light when the engine died. Just like last time, she took the key out of the ignition, locked the doors, unlocked the doors, put the key back it and it started right back up with no problem. Still no check...

    What would cause this?

    I'm not familiar with Kroger. We don't have any of those in my area (Sacramento, California). We do however, have Arco gas stations and they are always the cheapest and I have heard people say they water down their gas and that's how they keep their prices so low. Maybe that's our equivalent to...

    What would cause this?

    She said it just died all of a sudden. She didn't describe any kind of sputtering or anything like that. But then again, she isn't the most observant when driving ;-) I've driven with her a few times since it happened and tried to see if we could re-create the problem with no luck. I wish I was...
