I have been on this site for several years and have relied on it to get help for my multiple issues. THANK YOU for the wonderful posts - I am now hoping that you can help with a new issue.
Had several CELs and ended up doing the following on the car:
Replaced the ABS Module - had the TRACS light and the arrow - rebuilt unit worked great
Car stopped starting - and determined it was the fuel pump - car sat for several months.
Replace Fuel Pump - (cut through the floor and replaced) - it's alive again (YEAH)
Replaced Front pads and rotors - would have failed inspection - brakes were fine after this.
More CELs
Replaced the PCV hoses and oil trap - left side vacuum elbow was ripped and disconnected (bought one of the kits and did all of it)
Replaced MAF with BOSCH unit - I read the posts
Cleaned the IAC - it was filthy
Car is running much better except that the brakes are HARD. Almost like no power assist.
I have looked through all of the vacuum lines I can find and all of the lines seem OK or I have replaced. I might need to put on new elbow for the fuel return line from the fuel rail (using a short piece of fuel line currently that is a little crimped).
I am trying to figure out what I could have missed or messed up to cause the brake issue - any help would be appreciated.
This is my son's car and he will need running soon because he will be going back to school in fall.
THANK YOU AGAIN - This is a WONDERFUL resource and I have recommended it to multiple people.
