Locksmith? Towing company or auto repair shop that provides lockout service??? I don't recommend trying to "jimmie" the door yourself. because if you pull or prod on the wrong thing you could cause a lot of damage that will cost a whole lot more to fix than the service call will cost you.

To much too type, there is a lot of details to this job, the best thing to do is to get a book on this particular vehicle, its about $20.00 at a auto parts store. This will give you all the Timing marks, the do's and don't-- locations and torque specs. ect....

If you have everything loose so the CV axle will pull out of the diff, try this: Using two flat head screwdrivers, put them beteween the inner edge of the joint and the diff. GENTLY pry with both screwdrivers 180 degrees apart ( like at 3 and 9 o'clock). there is a clip in a groove that has to retract al the way in to release the halfshaft. It can be very frustratiing as I have been there done that. try rotating the axle about a quarter turn and then use the two screwdrivers again. some times you just have to find the "sweet spot".

Presuming that you are lying under the vehicle, your feet sticking out from the front bumper (fender) and your head under the sump of the engine, the starter is on the left hand side where the bell housing of the gear box meets the engine block

Did you blead the fuel system ???

If you have check engine light on you need to have the Diagnostic Trouble Codes read and this will give you a clearer idea of where the problem may lie. A faulty O2 sensor could certainly lead to an over -rich mixture but here is another possibility: Faulty coolant temperature sensor...leads to ECU not being told when engine has reached operating temperature ..... ECU instructs injectors to maintain open cycle condition and keep the mix rich as if engine is still cold. So the causes of rich mixture and lumpy idle can be varied. The DT codes really help in focussing area for examination and ultimately will save time and money. Autozone do DT code reading as a service.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If the battery light is on, I strongly suggest that you have the battery charged. It can be an indication of a weak battery or a faulty alternator. If the battery light still on after charging then the problem will surely be on the alternator itself. If that's the case the alternator should be replaced to resolve the problem.

If the battery won't hold charge even on a new alternator then the problem will be on the battery itself. It surely is in the end of it's service life and replacement will be necessary.

You may try to reset it to by removing the positive battery connector, letting it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the system and can get the battery light off.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

The clunking noise is a sign that the rear axle diffential gear oil needs to be changed. Put a catch pan underneath it, and remove all the bolts from the differential cover. Drain the old oil, and spray brake cleaner into the area to flush all dirt deposits from the unit. The brake cleaner evaporates and won't leave a residue.

Put a silicone sealant around the cover before remounting. Refill the unit with the gear oil weight specified in your maintenance manual, and also add a tube of limited slip differential paste (available at Autozone). Fill the differential until it begins to overflow from the fill hole.

Concerning the black gunky substance leaking out: there's a good chance that the axle seal is worn and letting the differential gear oil leak out. You should consider replacing those before refilling the differential. It will continue to leak until you do so.

I suggest that you take it into a mechanic or the dealer because there are linkages inside that might be damaged so fix this right away and do this as soon as possible or you could damage even more and could cost more to fix if you do not fix it now !!

You need to check your spark plugs. They are not igniting fuel correctly. You are loosing a lot of unignited gas. Hope this helps! Please give me a 4 thumbs up review!

You can check the continuity of the VSV assembly units you are working with (what you are referring to as blue and white).

Inspection (1) - Remove the connector, shift transfer lever to 2H and start the engine. Make sure there is continuity in the vehicle side of the harness. If there is none, check the transfer shift switch and wiring.

Inspection (2) - Inspect both VSV units as follows:
A) With battery not connected
Measure A-C for continuity, B is closed
B) With battery connected
Measure A-B for continuity, C is closed.

If either A) or B) fail, replace the VSV unit.

It maybe a switch or pressure sensor.
