Well, if you've checked the fluid level and it's good...Better have it checked at a local shop before it gets worse and costs more to fix.

change the air filter and spark plug.

no they are not the same map sensor is manifold air pressure and fuel level sensor is the tank level sensor

that code relates to a short or open circuit and that could be the wiring harness or the level sensor in the tank. it's part of the fuel pump assembly. to test the fuel level sensor witch will be the easiest you will need to take the fuel pump assembly out and to do so you have to remove the no. 2 rear seat and pull back the floor mat . un bolt the service hole cover and remove the wire harness plug and fuel lines from the pump. but before you remove the fuel line the pressure has to be relieved from the system. do so by removing fuel pump relay and start vehicle till it stalls then crank over a few more times and the pressure will be relieved. after that take the fuel pump out and drain extra fuel.

take the assembly and connect a multi meter to the to wrie coming off the float level sensor. move the float up and down by hand and the resistance should rise and fall with the movement. if isdoesn't your level sensor has to be replace and if it does the problem is in the wire harness.

you will have to visualy inspect the hole length of the harness. if ok you will need to check for continuity between gauge and level sensor plug.

the two wires at the pump for the sensor are red and blue and when they get to the cluster they are yellow and brown section c-a pin # 38 and 39.

if you have anymore question please ask. good luck

are you having any problems? if not at least once a year you should use afuel injector cleaner like techtron and have your fuel filter repaled at the same time

summer time 10w-30 winter time 5w-30 5.10 quarts with filter

you must have pulled the whole axle out.finish what you started to do,then put axle back in,make sure circlip is clicked in,then refill g/box/diff to correct level.

NOPE THERE MAY BE A DIFFERENCE.I WOULD BUY PARTS FOR A 1997 MODEL 1993 MODEL IS 4 YEARS APART.CAR MANUFACTORYS CHANGES A LOT PARTS MAY BE DIFFERENT I WOULD NOT TAKE THAT CHANCE.

That will be your lower ball joint.

if you jack it up both ends off the ground,using axle stands to support it,then start it,put in gear and take it up to the vibrate point.you can get someone to carefully look underneath,and at the wheels,to see if any thing vibrating.DONT REV IT TOO MUCH.it might fall off the stands

did you check the spark if occur when cranking engine, if it have spark, direct fuel pump by shorting 30 and 87 pin off fuel pump relay and check if theres fuel go to fuel injectors, check for pressure, if no fuel, connect voltage directly to fuel pump assembly, if fuel turn s, check circuit, if no fuel goes, check the tank for empty fuel, if you have fuel change the fuel pump including fuel filter

If you drive normally then change your oil/filter every 5,000 miles. If you drive mostly city driving change it every 4,000 miles. If you drive mostly highway then change it every 6,000 miles. If you are using a synthetic oil then add 1,000 miles to each of these intervals. Use the correct weight oil for your 1997 MPV as listed in the owner's manual. Also use a quality filter such as Purolator, Wix, or Bosch. Change your air filter every 30,000 miles unless you drive in dusty conditions and then change it more often.

The pump is in the tank. Before you consider dropping the tank. Lift the carpet in the back seat above the tank. The older MPVs had a trap door which would access the pump with out dropping the tank. It is definitely worth a look. I changed mine in half an hour.

Under the hood on the passenger side wheel well. Can be tricky to get at and remove. You will need a 10mm socket to loosen the clamp holding the filter in place, but you will need to undo and remove the fuel lines first. These are under high pressure so it is a good idea to drain the pressure off the fuel system before removing the lines.

check them all. if they are the same then the engine is ok. If one is 15% lower than the rest the engine will stumble.

Check the fuse in the fuse box. There might actually be a relay for it under the engine hood in the black power box.

The fuel pump relay is located below the right side of the dash to the left of the engine control module. There is also a 15amp fuse
for the fuel pump. In the fuse block under the left side of the dash
fuse #19. Hope this helps.
