Rough Running Engine between 1200-1500 RPM by
swimdad16
After my broken water pump bolt saga I have my 93 F-150 (5.0 Liter) back
together and running.
However, as I'm driving I'm noticing a miss/stumble between 1200-1500 RPM.
This was present BEFORE I did anything on the water pump.
How can I narrow the cause down?
Could it be a vacuum leak?...

in the morning and insert the key. I try to turn the ignition on,
sometimes the car won't turn on after the 1st start. The engine won't
make a single sound. It...

fuel pump flow rate? by
George
'99 Cavalier 2.2, port injected. Engine catches, but dies immediately.
I suspect it's a fuel problem. What sort of 'free' flow rate should I
get, with an open line just dumping into a container?
Thanks,
Geoge

Couldn't find any other posts about this problem so thought I'd let you
benefit from my experience.
I have an 04 Stilo in the UK and the cassette wouldn't eject, not too
much of a problem you'd think except I have MP3 player that is actually

Transmission flush methods by

sure if it would get the...
