happened in my 1997 dodge avenger, go ahead and replace the complete turn signal behind the plastic on the columb, very easy to do, 3 screws under the columb, 2 screws on the black plastic side of the turnsignal swithch facing the drivers side door, unplug, put in new or one out of junk yard, thats what i did and it fixed no problem...

depending if its a 2.0 or a 2.5 really either or, i personally recommend taking it to a shop, you have to pull the motor to get to the timing belt on a 2.0 and just the same on a 2.5, that or tilt it on such an agle to access the timing belt and to be able to remove the proper bolts to access the belt, then after you get to the belt you have to have a special tool for the belt tentioner and align the top dead center with the new belt, in doing this you may have to have a camsaft turn in a way that when the tentioner is let off they all align with the new belt... it is a very agrivating process...

It could be several things including the fuse.Do you have a testlight/probe to do a couple of tests?It could be the flasher can.Do the indicators work if you put on the hazard lights?You could try swapping one fuse at a time .Just switch with another fuse of the same color and if they start to work its the fuse and if not its the main supply of power or the flasher can.If the hazards work the circuit from the flasher to the indicators is intact and shouldnt be part of the problem.

take the distibutor cap off and replace the rotor. Its a small plastic piece with metel tips that turn on the distributor shaft...they wear out easily

short in the relay or the relay itself is bad and it is short circuiting the computer.

Yes it could be the water pump, does your heat still work? if it does not work then it will be your heater core

When you had the starter checked did you check the solenoid on the starter? If you can find a way to get to it, try using something hard to tap your solenoid and then try starting it. If that doesn't work try tapping the solenoid and starter while someone else turns the key. The starter may be good but the solenoid could be stuck inside. Hope this helps let me know how it goes. Good luck!

I think that is only available as the control arm assembly. Check whth you local parts store.

take vent panel out above heater control you can reach it you need a 10mm rachet wrench to remove one bolt the bracket has ears on it but i counldn"t get it out that way there are 4 ear the box clips in taking bolt out was much easier

You can try running injector cleaner through your system for about a week and see if that help's. The other thing is finding a low mile engine at the junk yard and buy the injectors only. Good luck Just for thought's did you check your fuel pressure, that sometime makes it seam like bad injectors.

could also be water in the distributor cap...pull it off and spray the contact area with WD-40. WD-40 will displace water...

it means your cars computer is pumping too muchgas into your motor because it thinks the engine is either running lean possibly due to faulty o2 sensors or that the coolant temp sensor is giving false readings and the ecm thinks the car is still too cold.

flasher unit, available at parts stores cheap

I really hate to say this because i don't recommend used parts to be put into a vehicle especially when it comes to electrical or computer components, but you may be able to check your local parts yards and see if they may have what you need if you are on a tight budget. Or you may have to buy a new computer. I would have also take it somewhere else for a second opinion before spending the money on a new computer. ope this helps.

code po700 is what the pcm gets from the tcm when there is a problem with the transmission-anywhere from fluid level, sensor, solenoid, tcm problem, or mechanical problem.
the situation you have with the car being in 2nd gear is called "limp-in" mode. so you can limp-in to a repair center.

The fuel injection pump should keep fuel at the top end all the time.it sounds like your fuel pump has failed totally.

you have to ask the qestion to be able to understand the problem .to think about wheather our not its worth fixing it could a cheap fix our costly. how much do you trust your tech, i would also get a secoand opion kdc744

I can not really find much information due to lack of information so the best I could do is the following.


1 Inspect Engine Oil Capacity Low engine oil level 2 Inspect Water Pump Main shaft seal on water pump has failed causing shaft to squeel or grind. 3 Inspect Main Bearing - Engine Worn or damaged main bearing 4 Inspect Alternator Faulty alternator armature or bearings. 5 Inspect Flywheel - Automatic Transmission Loose or improperly torqued flywheel. 6 Inspect A/C Clutch A/C compressor clutch bearing worn or damaged 7 Inspect Transmission Fluid Capacity Incorrect transmission fluid level
