    Almost Died

    Yesterday I was driving in a rough (not the terrain, the neighborhood) area and my DI nearly died. The engine sounded rough and wouldn't rev up. I pulled off the road and turn it off for a minute or two and then it started up again and ran fine...for 5 minutes and then repeated this same cycle...

    Engine trouble on highway

    I was going to search for my problem, but wasn't sure what to search for, so it may already be answered if someone can tell me what to call my issue. Recently, as I was driving down the highway, the engine started to back off as if I'd taken my foot of the gas. After a few seconds of me...

    Exhaust Sealant on Manifold?

    Anybody have any experience using exhaust sealant on a cracked manifold? I'm too cheap to buy a new manifold right now and thought that the sealant might work even for a long-term fix. Any brands to suggest? Thanks.

    Stuck in Park, but only in the morning!

    For the last two days my DI won?t shift out of Park first thing in the morning, so I?ve had to take the minivan to work. I did a search here and figured the problem was either the brake pedal switch or a fuse. I?ve checked those items and they are all good. The truck will shift out of Park...

    Where do I stick the Sea Foam?

    Okay, I know there are plenty of people out there that would love to tell me where I can stick my Sea Foam, so go ahead, I've got thick skin. My real question is that once I've put Sea Foam in my gas tank and in my oil to clean all that out, where else do I put it? The can says something about...

    Rusted floor boards

    I peeled back the always wet carpet on my floorboards today and found a lot of rust under the driver's side and some on the passenger side as well. Only in the front seat floor though. I tried to see where the water could be coming from, but can't seem to find a source. I know it is not the...

    DI ABS Pump

    Used ABS pump from '96 DI. Bought on eBay 8 months ago becasue I thought mine was bad. Turns out mine is fine. This pump reportedly worked perfectly then, but I have not tried it. If you get it and it doesn't work, I'll give you a refund. $30 + shipping.

    '97 DI runs rough - what now?

    My '97 DI runs a little rough. The reason is that I am getting regular misfires on cylinders 1 & 8. I replaced the plugs and wires within the last two months, so my problem has to be somewhere else, but I don't know where to look next. The codes are the following P0183, P0300, P0308, P1313 and...

    Fuel Trim Readings?

    I have had some recent trouble with my '97 DI. I plugged in the OBDII reader to see why the Check Engine light was on and found that it had misfires on 1 and 8. I replaced the wires and plugs about three months ago, so I knew that couldn't be it. After a quick check, I found that the plug...

    Sorry, another tire question...

    I just got a tear in the sidewall of one of my Michelin XPC tires on the way in to work this morning and now it looks like I'll be buying tires a little sooner than I had thought. It was in the plan for some time in the next six months anyway, so I guess there's no time like the present. Anyway...

    Radio code won't work

    I replaced my battery this weekend and now the radio won't accept the radio code. I confirmed with the dealership that I have the correct code and have used it in the past, but it won't work now. Anybody have an ideas for this, other than buy an aftermarket unit? After only one day, I'm...

    97 DI w/ Brake Problems?

    I'm not sure if I have brake problems or not. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my ABS light is on and I had planned to change the ABS pump based on the recommendation of a local mechanic. However, you all convinced me to check the codes and confirm the diagnosis before I started in on the...
