Subject: Sorry to hear of your bad luck, Clint Author: kama [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:35:44 07/15/01 Sun In reply to: Clint1 's message, "When it Rains, it pours..." on 09:30:14 07/15/01 Sun Hopefully you'll have come to the end of it. Nothing more frustrating than problems with a vehicle. Knocking on wood: I've not had to make any repairs on my vehicle except a hose and it does need 3 new tires. I am starting to wonder about the fuel pump though because every now and then I feel a slight hesitation when I'm going down the road using cruise.

Jeez, how could I forget that. Well if you have a late model car that has an electric fuel pump, then it will be lazy starting right before it goes bad. If your crusing along and feel the miss, then maybe it's a spark plug or wire going bad. That sounds like some sort of spark failure unless it stops running and then starts again by itself.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Thanks, Clint Author: Clint [Edit] Date Posted: 15:07:01 07/16/01 Mon Well yes it does have a electric fuel pump just like my truck. They are inside the fuel cell. But, I got to thinking after writing the last message, it could be your AC compressor kicking in and out if your running the AC. Good Luck

Author: janiece [Edit] Date Posted: 15:38:03 07/16/01 Mon It's not exactly like the engine is cutting out or anything, it's more like a decrease in power. I'll take a drive without AC and see what happens. Either way I have some things to rule out now.
