    Fluids?

    So I think I might need to change my differential fluids since it appears the seals have never been broken. Autozone is telling me I need about 3 quarts in front and back but I'm not sure if I have limited slip or not (apparently I would need an additive if I do) and they are saying synthetic in...

    Haynes or Chilton?

    I'm really new to working on cars so a lot of the information/terms on here are over my head. I'm trying to get a better basic knowledge... pretty much just tired of getting raped at the auto shops. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Haynes or Chilton?

    Looking to get a repair manual. What do you guys prefer/use? Chilton or Haynes or something else? Also I notice there is a 97-02, 97-03, or 97-09. Which do you suggest? Seems like 97-09 is a big time span and a lot of changes to the vehicle between those years obviously. (I have a 2001 EB...

    P0171 Error

    So far 200 miles with CEL reset after new fuel filter and running some sea foam and no more light. Knowing my luck it's not the end of it but for now it seems good. Thanks for all the responses.

    power door lock problems

    Ok so I fixed my locking/unlocking problem yesterday... (Bare with me I don't know all the technical terms for the devices) My locks did the same thing... didn't unlock or lock... the knob would look like it was trying to go somewhere but barely moved. Turned out there is a rectangle shaped...

    power door lock problems

    I have the same problem on my back passenger door. But with mine, the handle stopped opening the door from the inside then eventually the outside handle stopped working. If you pulled on the handle too many times it would activate the child safety lock too. Now you can't even manually unlock the...

    A/C Question

    Sorry if this answer has already been posted but I couldn't find it. So last year my A/C stopped working. I decided to try and recharge it myself and it still didn't work. This year I turn it on and apparently it's blowing cool air again. Although, I noticed my "max A/C" blows warm, my...

    fuel filter

    I was running with a CEL for months and the auto shop I took it to charged me $350 for a MAF sensor and then when it came back on they tried charging me another $450-500 for a manifold gasket... So I finally remembered I have never changed the filter and the owner before probably didn't either...

    P0171 Error

    I think my buddy told me to use sea foam. I've been using Lucas here and there especially after the CEL came on but it was before the filter change. What cleaner do you guys prefer?

    P0171 Error

    UPDATE....... After speaking with a friend, he said that because my old fuel filter dumped out black dirty gas when I changed it, I may not have been getting fuel all the way through bank 2 to bank 1. Thus creating a bad gas/air mixture and running lean. Also he thought my fuel injectors may...

    P0171 Error

    Thanks for all the input everyone... I've never signed up for a forum for anything before. I'm very impressed with the quick feedback and knowledge with this one though. I'll keep working on it and let everyone know the end result.

    P0171 Error

    Thanks for such a quick response. I'm new at this whole car fixing thing so... is there any easy way to see if it is a vacuum leak or a way to see if the o2 sensor has failed? Most of the other threads are showing this code in combination with another code so I don't mislead anyone. This is...

    P0171 Error

    I have had a check engine light on for months now (p0171 error code according to AutoZone). I took it into a shop and they replaced the MAF ($350 I'm new to this so I didn't know you could try and clean it). Anyway it came back on a couple days later. So I am lazy and wait a few weeks and take...
