the rubber on the suspension that inflates is worn. it may have some dry rot. you can replace them but it will cost you a lot plus your pump is working overtime and that will wear out and add to the cost of repair. You can get a conversion kit where coil springs are installed and it will be a lot cheaper

For the I6 engine....First thing I'd do is clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner for the first 2 codes, also change your oil.

P0014 is camshaft position solenoid actuator, probably dirty (change oil and clean this actuator)
P0017 deals with the same as above.
P0171 - Clean your MAF sensor, check for vaccum leaks around the resonator, did you hook the PVC hose back up?
P0860 is Gearshift module circuit low.......can take to a mechanic that has a Tech II or equal diagnostic computer, this can talk to the module to find out what the real deal is here.

Take the car to auto zone and have them pull the trouble codes. Post the codes and we can go from there. Codes are stored in the computer to tell tale on which system is failing. There are many things it can be. Is the gas cap tight? This is a common problem that people overlook

THESE ARE POSSIBLE CAUSES TO YOUR PROBLEM. CLASS 2 CIRCUIT IS OPEN SHORTED TO GROUND OR TO B+. THE PCM IGNITION POWER CIRCUITS HAS A HIGH RESISTANCE CONDITION. THE PCM MAIN GROUND CIRCUITS HAS A HIGH RESISTANCE CONDITION. THE SDM MODULE COULD BE SHORTED PULLING THE VOLTAGE LOW. THIS MORE LIKELY DEALERSHIP FIX.

it depends on if it is a pressed bearing or not and if u need some heat to get it out i rec a shop.

removew the door panel its fell away from you heres a picture to help guide you a little

Check your wheel bearing assembly, may be going bad. Jerking may be caused by your driveline slip joint needing to be greased. About a 15 minute job, remove drive shaft and grease up the slip joint.

It's clicking multiple times without starting?Locate the starter.If you're not sure where it is,call a shop or a dealer and they will tell you free to attract future business.Tap on the starter 2 or 3 times with a hammer,not too hard,not too soft then try to start.It may take several tries but it should end up starting meaning...you have a bad starter. Good luck! Greg
If that is not the case,just reply to this post and I will get an auto email saying you commented.

First of all look around the door handle for screws, remove any that you see there. then the door panel is held in place with a number of clips that attach to the inside of the panel and then into holes in the frame. Use a stiff blade putty knife to gently work your way around the door and remove the panel. If you break a clip or two, I usually do, not to worry as they are available at any auto parts store.

Hello Chet.
It's possible that you could have a blown fuse.
The power supply to the data connector is also on the same fuse as the cigarette lighter/power plug.
The fuse is in the #13 slot in the underhood fuse panel.
Hope this fixes you up!
