Another strange experience - I had the alternator and battery checked last night - both OK. I had to replaced the starter solenoid - I broke a stud off tightening up the connections. Ran good after that. This morning, I took it out, and after running about 15 minutes, shut it off. Wouldn't...

An addendum to my earlier post - I just took it out and now the voltage needle is all over the place, and when I pulled out and my antilock motor kicked on, the engine almost died. Then when I shut it off, no start until three or four tries.

I have a 93 XLT with 64,500 miles. Battery is 6 months old, never had any problems with it. Recently, I have noticed that the lights inside and out flicker with the engine rpm fluctuations while idling- but not all the time. This morning when I went to start it up, absolutely nothing...

There have been a few other similar posts on here regarding 4x4 lights coming on for no reason, but don't seem to generate too much interest. My 4 low light comes on whenever it feels like it (amber light only, never the dashboard indicator). Sometimes it is dim, sometimes it is bright...

Maybe so... I have noticed that my ABS light stays on once I start the vehicle for maybe 1-2 seconds longer than the other lights. It never comes on while driving. I also just had my front brakes completely redone (new rotors, pads, calipers, lines). How would I check the hubs for looseness...

Too consistent Thanks, but I think the noise is too consistent to be something going bad on me. I have noticed that the 'motor noise' happens only when pulling out in drive after starting the vehicle once I hit 10 mph. It lasts for 1.5 - 2 seconds. I have no other driveability problems at...

I have a 93 xlt 4wd. I have noticed that when I start the vehicle and pull out of my driveway and pass maybe 5 or 10 mph, I hear a 'whirring noise' kind of like a small motor, for about 2 or 3 seconds. It sounds like it is coming from under the floor under my left foot. The other day, my abs...

Nothing weird on a full check - I would have my insurance agent run it for me if I were you - they can tell you every time it was involved in anything that caused a claim to be filed. Carfax did alert me that I had been wrongly told that a car had 44,700 miles when it actually had 144,700...

No - although it was very dim. The 4 hi light had no illumination whatsoever. Maybe just a short? Also - I am capable of changing plugs/wires/belts/hoses/water pumps/etc. Would it be wise to attempt changing the front rotors myself, or taking it to a shop? I believe that the hubs have to be...

I just bought a 93 xlt 4wd. I have only driven it maybe 50 miles. This morning, the indicator light next to the 4 low button was dimly lit, and stayed on even after I shut the engine off and back on a few times. The car was driving normally (rwd only). I looked down a little while later on my...
