    [RESOLVED] stereo problem,massively annoying please help!!!

    Is the HU stock? Have you ever run any speaker wires anywhere in the car? Have you done anything since you have owned the car to the stereo system? or done before you bought it?Only thing that could cause the 12V loss, could be power-piggyback- from the brake switch. Other than that, if...

    Could it be the head gasket?

    Don't need to take off the manifold.... Just remove the heat shield on top of the mainfold, and then wipe everything down like it has already been suggested.Might get lucky and it only be a heater hose that Locke suggested. Its really close to your head and could possible fool you into...

    halo wiring

    I defiantly agree on the wire size. alot of people think they can just splice into wires, and i should have elaborated more on that, than just saying it will work.But, actually it does, but it's not smart. Thats actually how they were hooked up when i bought my car. But alot of people don't...

    Car wont idle at a constant RPM + CEL

    Have you checked and seen what CEL your getting, first?Then there is alot of threads on idle surge on this site. Just search for it.It could be alot of things. Mostly sensors and stuff. Get the CEL so you can see what is causing that first.

    My heat has just gradually stopped working....and its really cold outside...

    So your saying, no air is coming out of any vents, no matter where you set your dial too. If this is the case, its nothing to do with the heater, but the fan blower motor itself.Check your fuses. Could be a bad switch, or a fuse, or the motor is bad...But if your saying the air is...

    SUNROOF REPAIR 2G [Merged 8-8] sun roof rail jam stuck open

    Your switch might be bad. The switch works off a ground. So you could pull the switch out,(leave wires hooked up to it), and use a test light, hook one end of the test light to ground(-), then touch one of the three prongs and see if the roof opens are slides back, going through all 3 prongs to...

    Car will not start when cold unless i put gas into the intake

    +1 on the ECT sensor. Really don't make any sense to say the fuel system, even though it might be letting fuel not stay primmed in the lines.Once you turn your key and hear the pump, the lines are gonna be primmed. Thus letting fuel ready. I mean you could have 2 problems. One with the pump...

    Car won't idle in cold properly

    There is more than just one thing that can cause that.ECT-(Engine Coolant Temp.Sensor)- When the sensor is faulty, the engine coolant temperature is regarded as being 176 degrees.Driveability may become poor and the idle quality will suffer during cold operating conditions. The trouble...

    Does your n/t engine rev down really slowly like mine?

    Don't have to be shifting. The dam thing can be in neutral and the rpms stay up once u press the gas and let off it. takes too long to drop down to idle. and yes it bothers me...:notgood:

    Does your n/t engine rev down really slowly like mine?

    Mine does the same exact thing, and it pisses me off too..I just put a new TB on and a new IAC and TPS, plus i have no cat. Test pipe there instead, and i had same thing with rpms before i changed the TB, so it's not in there...Surly someone has dealt with it..
