Car Makes - May 2007

2001 MPV. Was missing and hesitant to go when accelerator was pressed. Diagnostic code showed missing on cyl 3, so changed plugs and wires.

Drove OK for couple of weeks then suddenly it is slow to accelerate from a stop when accelerator is pressed. It seems to respond better when less pressure put on accelerator; in fact if you push accelerator too hard RPM increases to 4k, but there is no real increase rate of acceleration.

Once it is up to speed, car seems to run better, but still not responsive if you try to accelerate at higher speeds.

The car also loses speed as well as RPM when going up steep hill. It is still unresponsive when you press the accelerator a little, but when depressed more the RPM jumps to 4k with little increase in speed.

The check engine light is not on, so I am not sure if a diagnostic tool will pull a code.

For the past 2 years, my tranny hasn't sometimes been shifting from 1st to 2nd until about 26-28 MPH. After that happens, it goes into failsafe. Now it happens always right after start. I think it could be the pulse generator, because when this problem occurred first 4 years ago, the dealer replaced the pulse generator and it worked fine after that. Also, I wonder if corrosion on the battery can contribute to inaccurate voltage in the transmission. One dealer detected the codes p0740, p0743, p0722 (about 2 years ago) and said it would then need the car a few days to troubleshoot more. Another dealer read other codes (about a year ago), which I don't have yet, and said to replace the transmission. What do you think? Also, am I doing anything to the engine if I drive on 1st up to 26-28 MPH when the tranny switches or if I drive 15-20 MPH in 1st? I don't have an RPM meter, so hard to tell if it goes into the red. Is there anyway to start the vehicle and be immediately in failsafe?

Does anyone know what I can do? The seat belt is stuck and cannot be used. It is stuck inside the panel section and we have tried pulling on it and such but to no avail. Should we take it to the dealership? Would they charge me for fixing it? It is not under warranty any longer but we are still making payments on it.

Hi all....I had some change lying around and a penny fell into the lighter's well and stayed lodged there awhile till I got it out. After that, the lighter won't work and I can't charge my cell phone inside my car!

Curiously, I can't fine the repair solution ANYWHERE in my new store-bought book (from Barnes and Noble) on how to repair most car problems......

Is this a fuse problem, as one friend suggested?

i'm not looking for a text book restoration. i want to take this beautiful classic car and modernize it. update the ammenities and technology while keeping the integrity of the design.

i want to give it a new effecient engine and transmission and also incorporate a digital interface to monitor liquid pressures, temperatures, levels, diagnostics and also estimates of EPA, fuel consumption, SatNav, CC etc [just normal everyday luxuries on our cars].

So does anyone know of any good information sources or businesses with experience in this kind of restoration?

It acts like it will quit on me, but only when idle, and after its been driven for at least 15 minutes.

Just wanted to know all the possible options I'm looking at when getting it fixed.

Currently I have a 289 and a three speed manual that run great, and They've been in the car ever since It was new. But its all original except some seals and a new carb and intake. Its never been rebuilt and its starting to show its age a little smoke and some new leaks. Well, since I like to do crazy things to my cars I was wondering what was the most interesting swap I could do. The car only weighs 3400 pounds so I was thinking I could have a little fun and put a 3.8 Sc and a T5 out of a Thunder-bird SC in it or find an engine and trans out or a newer Mercury Marauder. I know the engine out of the Tbird would make it haul because I had a 89 XR7 with the same engine and that car hauled and it weighed 500 pounds more than this car would weigh. But just looking to see what every body Else thinks. Thanks for you ideas.
