Do you have a pic of fuse location? How exactly did you remove it? Appreciate the info.

You know, it almost seems like everything went "offline" after the battery being disconnected for the 5 weeks it took to make the repairs and/or the number of parts replaced which happened in 2 parts. Part 1: timing belt and tensioner/idler pulley, water pump, serpentine belt and tensioner, the...

Update: I'm happy to report that I finally got the car started. My roommate hooked his car up to mine and we had a jump start session lasting over 30 minutes til starter finally was able to pull enough juice to crank long enough for it to start and stay on. Now it starts without needing a jump...

Very much appreciate your suggestions, thank you! I'm happy to report that I finally got the car started. My roommate hooked his car up to mine and we had a jump start session lasting over 30 minutes til starter finally was able to pull enough juice to crank long enough for it to start and stay...

Gonna check starter relay then bench test starter if needed.

I finally got the anti theft light to turn off. When I tried starting the car it cranked for about 2 seconds then...nothing. I tried again but this time no crank, just a click and the steering wheel with ! now lit on dash. This is so frustrating! I got this far only to hit a wall. I've been...

I just replaced the timing belt, both sprockets and tensioner and pulley. Also replaced both cam shaft sensors and crank shaft sensor. I did all the work myself. Was super proud (and relieved!) when I finally turned the key and it started up fine. Then I remembered that while working on the car...

No...my brake fluid is clear and not leaking. I do have an output seal leak which I'm gonna replace once I'm done with the timing, but that leak was just a trickle. This leaked about 1/3 of a quart overnight. Maybe I jacked the engine too high when I needed more room to replace the water pump.

I'm right in the middle of replacing timing belt, sprockets...pretty much all timing components and noticed the growing red puddle right under the transmission! I thought it was the drain plug bc the bottom is all wet and visible drops but it seems to be running down the sides from above. It...

It doesn't bubble while idling anymore but still overflows out of the reservoir. In my car, the thermostat doesn't detach from the housing, I tried. I unbolted it from the housing assembly but it doesn't pop out of the housing. Also, I've noticed the hose going from the thermostat to the...

Sooo...combustion leak test was negative. I feel like that's great news. Yay! What could be causing this problem? Was gonna flush the system but when I opened the petcock only a few drops of water came out but the res tank was still full. That's never happened. It always drains right away when...

But my car's not overheating. The warning light has never come on. Recently had a P0128 code low coolant temp twice and replaced it twice.

Heading out to buy a test now.

No😳 I thought that was the only reason for bubbles in coolant. What else can cause that?

How do I install this product when all the coolant keeps bubbling out of the reservoir? It's just gonna get blown out with the coolant. I tried this product twice. The first time was a waste bc it got dumped out almost immediately as I mentioned. It didn't get a chance to go through the system...

I dont know what I'm doing wrong.cant get the drum to fit over the new brake shoes .It fits fine on the other side so its the right size . I left the other side as reference to compare and make sure everything is the same . I took pictures before I started . The star wheel is fully closed the...

Thank you for your responses. And of course, I bought one on ebay. 🙄 It's what I could afford. I also bought both up and downstream O2 sensors, but it's definitely the cat. When I removed it you could hear stuff rattling inside it. The new one will arrive tomorrow. I encountered another problem...

Also, why is labor so expensive to replace the catalytic converter? I know that part is expensive especially if in California. I assumed it was bc it was a complicated job that I wouldn't be able to do myself, but I practically already did it when I removed that exact part (first pic) when I had...

That's the one that's causing the P0420 code?
