Only odd things (remember its new to me). When i jump in and turn the key, i have to hit the unlock button on the key fob or it wont start. I guess this is part of anti theft.
2nd . It seems to have a shimi when i turn the wheel at times. Its...
UPDATE:
I went to autozone and bought thread chaser for 11 bucks.
Got home, pulled both wheels so i could see the driver side and i knew the passenger side was needed to be pulled.
I could then see how the driver side plugs were angled toward the front of the vehicle and used the thread...
Thanks for the replies guys.
But i think the 1st plug on driver side is "stripped or something" .. cant get it in. may have to try and tap it. back 2 are ok. and are in. so mad right now.
i called delphi. The tech guy was terrible as far as help. The black ring they sent was not correct it couldnt be. So i called a local parts store and bought one seperately for 12.49. It was green and appears OEM. Not like the black flat one in the delphi kit.
Got home , ac delco...
i got my delphi fuel module. It came with a black sealing ring. Its flat.
The original is green and noticably thicker.
The black ring isnt big enough to stay in the groove around the top of the tanks hole. AM i supposed to re use my orignial green sealing ring?
I guess ill call...
I found a console on line at a junk y ard that im going to go get and transfer to my 2003 xlt, with the soft pack console.
Well it also has leather seats that are power seats in it. I was thinking of getting them and replace my cloth seats. But i cant find a power cable under the seat. I...
UPDATE:
I got it off. I put a rag around the spout, and poured boiling water to soak it,, Hoping to soften it. I think it did. But what really did it was the hose hook.
I removed the spare tire and the inner fender . The inner fender didnt seem to help, as i couldnt do much above...
I thought about this as an option. Yes i will be doing it from my back.. I can use my floor jack and a plank of ply wood. The tank is supposedly full. (thats what the gauge is reading). My concern is 160 lbs of tank, balanced on the floor jack while im trying to get some things...
i got the hose clamp off for the fuel tank , its loose, meaning i can twist it on the spout. But i have no leverage to get the hose off,, to pull it. But ill look at taking off the spare tire and see if i can get some leverage room.
Thanks. and oh btw. My best friend from childhood...
2003 ST Automatic 2wd, 85k miles.
I checked the inertia switch,, its ok. I sprayed ether to start it, It starts briefly.. So i think i need new fuel pump.
Trying to drop the tank. I need to drain the full tank of gas first. Cant get a siphon hose down the filler neck.
So i go to the...
Havent replaced fuel pump yet. Its on the list. IM looking at a Delphi, from rock auto.
I DID find,,, Just the pump. Not the whole assembly. Its 100 bucks ,, vs the whole assembly at 150.
Am i better off with just the pump or get the whole assembly?
i was looking to find fuses / relays,, I tried to pry that panel from under the steering column down. I didnt realize it was attached at the bottom. I got 2 screws out of it but it seems like its still attached.
My problem is i cant get it back on doing what i did to pull it off...
