Check to make sure all the battery and starter cables are clean and tight. Also make sure the smaller wires on the starter are tight.

I think you should pull the codes and see if there is any before replacing stuff and spending money or possibly burning something up or out. Most auto parts stores can pull the codes for free and tell you what they mean. If they can't, go to a different parts store. Also some tranny shops will do it...

Good idea is to get the new harder replacement bolts for the thermostat housing before you remove the old ones. The original ones have a habit of stripping. Beware.

s70fighter, do you have a 850 model? if so they hold 6.1 quarts with the filter change. That is why your dip stick was dry, you were a quart low to start with.

quick ? about fuel filter on a 850

I just replaced the fuel filter on my 855 and am wondering about how far the fuel line has to slip onto the filter. I pushed them on as far as they would go while sliding that clip back, but they don't seem to be on as far as the old filter. I started it up, drove it and checked for leaks, there wer...
