Body/Appearance/Interior / Question about installing...
i mean my car had the 14in foam/steelies with a chrome trim ring. and the way that went on, you just kinda get the clips on the bead of the rim and hit it in and down with your fist or a rubber mallet/deadblow hammer whatever ya like.if that is what youre talking about

Drivetrain Tech / Stuck in first
hmmm, the issues i can think of:

TV cable needs adjusted
ATF fluid too high (that'll cause it to hold gears)----To check, have the car at operating temperature. in park. car on level ground. check the dipstick.
or maybe your shifter linkage "broke" somehow, so that its not actually moving the selector valve on the valve body----Does reverse still work?

Thats what i can think off

Electrical Tech / Power Door Lock Problem
the relays for the door locks are under the passenger seat? that might explain why my door locks dont work at all. neither does my keyless entry pad

Engine Tech / heater core and car running rich
So the conclusion is: the vacuum line on the MAP sensor is leaking. The hose is cracked and I could put my finger over it and hear the leak hissing. Looks like she'll be getting a fresh vacuum hose soon! Thanks for your help everyone! Much appreciated and I learned a lot!

Engine Tech / heater core and car running rich
I did, hooked up a vacuum gauge so the cruise control port on the "vacuum hub". It pulled a pretty constant 30psi....or 20psi. when we disconnected the guage it read 10psi of vacuum, so i think it read high. But it was a constant vacuum, so i dont think the engine is misfiring

And so I looked up code 67-which is a park/nuetral safety switch malfunction. not really surprised about that one. cuz lots of times when I have the car parked, I can hear a buzzing from under the car, put it in neutral....buzzing stops. So i figured something there.

And code 34-is egr stuff, but like I said the egr system has its vac. source plugged. So not surprised that its "malfunctioning"

And a vacuum leak wouldnt throw a code? but will make the car run rich as hell?

So I pulled codes. got a code 67 in the "current codes" and a code 34 in the stored "CM". these are from a KOEO test. and also, my EGR vac. source has been plugged, so egr will never open

And actually, when I run the car hard, the car starts to steam from the AC vents. This is just further proof that I believe that the heater core is leaking.

Engine Tech / heater core and car running rich
So earlier this week I kept seeing a puddle under my car. I tracked it down to the drain for the AC, ya know the little black rubber hose that sticks out from the firewall? Anyways, I could see coolant dripping from that AC drain, and then it falls on the exhaust and burns off. Does this mean my heater core is leaking?

And secondly, my file mileage has pretty much gone to shiznit. like in town i get 8-9mpg. And also the cars exhaust is really smelly. So i thought i had burned a valve or 2. Did a compression test, all the cylinders registered 110-115psi. And also, this morning when I got on the gas, I could see black smoke coming out the exhaust. So the cars running rich, but I dont really know why. My first instinct is to check O2 sensors, but what else would cause an EFI car to run rich?

Any info appreciated
