Hi Guys,

Anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to install 02 spacers? I have the same SES code P0430.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply SMJ! Yep, I already have installed airlifts. Regarding the shocks, I plan to stick with the same brand on all sides. I did some searching on rockauto and found this: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=7344460&cc=1431465 What do you think about this? It's a monroe Qui...

Hi everyone, What do you think of this complete shock replacement for the Pathy? http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18915784-deluxe-suspension-package.html Is the price alright? And are those good shock absorbers? I'm looking at no lift at all, and I think this offers a 2" lift. Can you guys confirm thi...

And can someone explain what quick struts are? I googled it and it seems they're shock absorbers with springs attached. What is the advantage of using that compared to the usual tube shock absorber. And I also did some back reading on Blistiens, and there are a lot of mixed reviews on it. Would you ...

Suggest a replacement shock absorber.

Hey everyone! After 136,000 miles, I think it's just right to replace my shock absorbers now. I had a mechanic inspect my car and he showed my how shot they were on all four sides. I'm surprised they last this long! Now being a college student, I'm looking for the cheapest, yet best shock absorbers....

Hi everyone, just a quick update. We found the problem already, and it turns out to be a very bad valve gasket cover and really worn spark plugs. All the plugs are almost covered in oil, causing the misfire, the surging and the random dying. The guy who I bought the car lied to me about replacing th...

Hi again, just to give you an update, the "experienced and highly yelp rated" shop that I brought my car into can't duplicate or find the problem. I don't blame them coz as I've said, this all happens randomly. Their conclusion was either a crankcase (or crankshaft, I forgot which exaclty)...

Surging engine and others. HELP!

Hi Guys, Anyone know why my engine is surging? It happens when I accelerate for a bit then if I let go of the gas the car surges forward. Also on the freeway the car seems to lose power and "dies" for a second then goes back to normal (scary moment). Are this both related? And can this pro...

wait, is the gauge even supposed to be moving? Mine goes high but still within normal range when I press the gas and low (still, safe range) when idle. Isn't this normal?

Mine won't do one touch up anymore unless you have to lift the switch thwice or thrice really hard. I might try cleaning the contacts and see if that works.
