    Replaced fuel pump now having problems.

    I just replaced the fuel pump on my 92 and it started wonderfully with no hesitation and all seemed well. But then i get a code 179, which I think is a lean condition, and when I start to accelerate from a stop it seems like there is no fuel and it bucks like a horse and the thing feels like it...

It also occurs when going up hill on the highway. I thought it was an exhaust leak but that wasnt the case as I...

    help needed. pop when engaging clutch.

    Recently I have noticed that when I am accelerating normal and I engage the clutch to shift there is a pop coming from that area. It is only when I am accelerating normal. If I am real heavy on the gas then it wont pop( or at least I can't hear it). Also, when I start it the shifter shakes alot...

    Help! A/C compressor not turning off.

    I pulled the fuse for the ac clutch under the steering wheel and that stopped the clutch from engaging. So would that be the clutch cycling switch that is bad? Also I went to go remove the switch and the freon started coming out. I figured since it was on a valve it might let a little out but I...

    urgent help needed. steering problems

    last night I was driving around and the steering wheel started popping hard and when I make a left hand turn the horn goes off twice. Does this sound like a serious problem or an easy fix. It still turns and runs good just a horrible pop when turning. Any help will be appreciated.:us:

    Is freeze 12 the same as r 12?

    My ac needs a little bit of freon to have a full charge and I was wondering if I could put freeze 12 in and mix it with r 12. The guy at the auto store said it would be fine but I would like to find out first. :us:

    Question about throw-out bearing

    Yeah it is kind of hard to shift into first and second has always been tricky to shift into as long as I have owned it( about 2 1/2 years). I plan to replace the clutch in the summer cause I am in college now and I have no time and I drive 130 miles a day to school so I just wanted to make sure...
