    Is this transmission? Could it be because of the FPR put in wrong? I just don't know. My mechanic told me I had a broken Cadillac converter shield when I kept asking what that rattling was when I change gears. So :( I don't know

    Well the car doesn't have a check engine but the fuel system definitely has something wrong. Acceleration and starting is infuriating me. Everytime I drive past my old neighbors house who is a 79 yr old Mechanic he screams my fuel pump is bad that he can hear it a mile away... which I figured my...

    Car Idle Problems -HELP-
