Well good luck with it. You got one on me. I had to get someone else to pull the codes for me, was just getting too frustrating and I just couldn't be bothered. Annoying that I took it to 2 different places plus replaced a whole lot a stuff that probably didn't need to be replaced at all, and spent ...

I just had the same problem with a ford explorer.. they did a million tests, from o2 sensors to fuel pump, to alternator, EVERYTHING.. and turned out, it was just that the catalytic converter was plugged to s...

My coolant temp sensor has been playing up as well. Sometimes never works. Have taken it out tonight. Will source a replacement tomorrow. How do you check if it is working properly? it only has one pin. I guess the body is the ground? the temp sensor with only one pin is for the guage...you need th...

Car does not stall at all so i think replacing the TB gasket which I suspect may have been letting air through has been fixed. This was my major issue. I still seem to have the same problem with the idle not bein...
