remove a fuel hose under the car from the pump and siphon the fuel out of the tank

is their steam ir white smoke coming from the exhaust if so u possible have problem with a gasket leak can be head or intake either one will allow fluid into cylinders

Yes it will be higher at start up owing to the oil being thicker .change the oil every 5000miles with a oil filter every third oil change and i think this will cure it use a 10/40 oil for diesel and petrol engines

Driveshaft universal joints been checked?

check U joints in drive shaft

if eng light is not on,it means its not a sensor. remove throttle body carefully without braking the gasket, clean the black carbon with intake cleaner.you might as well change the s.plugs ,they might be carboned because of poor air intake. good luck.

Clean out throttle body. Carbon build up under butter fly is keeping it from closing all the way. Easy fix with a rag and small brush throttle body cleaner non metal brush

either you swapped a bad unit into the system or the letter difference indicates that the rbb is not for use where an rbk is .

Did you use same weight and brand as usual, or did you change to another weight/brand?

check the fuse if ok then try swapping the switch's over and if this dosn't work then you will have to remve the door card and check you have power to the motor and if yes then it will be the motor or regulator

twist and pull it out, look at a new one, you will see the little locking tap:

After the engine has warmed to normal operating temperature, feel both heater hoses. If both are hot, the coolant is circulating through the heater core. Then the problem is probably the temperature blend door in the heater case. It is probably vacuum controlled. You will have to check for a vacuum signal to the blend door actuator-probably a little metal canister with a lever connected to the blend door.

The dimmer switch is the first thing that came to mind. Could trace your wires starting from your lights, and look to see if you could find a ground location. Relay for the lights?

First, check the two hoses going through firewall that feed heater core. If one is hot and the other is cold or luke warm this means heater core is blocked and will require to be backflushed to open. If both are hot then this means an inside panel door for the heat is not opening under the dash. Hope this helps

change your thermistat

Yes you can change a fuel pump by removing the bed, but if you don't have much fuel in the tank it is way easier to just drop the tank all it really is is the heat shield and the tank straps super easy

its either worn lifters,rocker arms or camshaft lobes.Try to adjust the valves or add a bottle of STP oil treatment to your oil and that should help reduce the noise.

run fault codes to check for faulty accelerator position sensor. Have a fuel pressure test done on the manifold to check for fuel pump/ filter/ fuel regulator problems.

it may only leak when driving..when the pressure increases. this leak could be internal as well as in a head gasket. fill it up and let it idle and get up to temp and check for leaks then.(never remove the rad cap from a hot engine)

I wonder if your rad fluid is full and has no air the system?...have you checked it?
