Here are the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

It's likely caused by a worn out strut or struts in the rear. You hit a bump and the wheel bounces because the strut is not damping properly. This causes an effect sort of like riding on only 3 wheels because the bouncing wheel is not supporting the vehicle steadily while it's hopping.

Yes, you spin the piston,....ie,screw it back into the calliper bore,it will probably be very tight.
You need a tool from the auto parts store to do this.

Take your time as you turn the piston until it bottoms out, then you should be able to fit the new pads.

I had same problem - then my car would not start , I had to replace the egnition and have new keys made and problem fixed , I fixed mine for abot $50 but the garage wanted $400 to $700 to do it , i did it myself . You have to pull steering wheel off to do this - it is a big job - but if you are mechanically minded you can do it .

Sounds like fuel pump burned out when you ran out of gas. probably ran dry for about 20 sec till engine quit. Check for power to fuel pump in tank.Most likely fuel pump will need replacement . Hope this helps

Dis connect the battery. You have to remove the intake to gain access to the starter motor.Once you remove the intake the starter motor is in the vally.Be careful of the throttle body not to brake the duct from the throttle body to the intake. Hope this helps

YES. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL STARTS TO CLEAR THE CODE AND TURN THE LIGHT OUT. OOORRRR , YOU COULD REMOVE THE NEGATIVE FROM THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES THEN PUT IT BACK ON AND YOU SHOULD BE BACK IN BUSINESS . GOOD LUCK.
