I can't possibly remember the dates these things happened. I put a new (used) transmission and this one is slipping. I put more brake pads and calipers than you would use in a life time. The springs are weak in the back, but to exspensive to change. I put a new fuel pump and gas tank. I've put a new egr valve, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor, air temp sensor. I put a blinker switch and new struts because mine broke. 3 out of 4 of my doors will not open because of the handles. These are just a few of the things I wrote down or can remember. Now it will not start unless I pump the gas(it's fuel injected) and keep turning it over and over. Then I'm not sure if it will start again when I shut it off. The fuel pump is working I think, I can hear it. I bought the car used and the person put a 1989 motor into a 1991 body. These things still went wrong with the car either way. I did not check any below because I'm not sure what to check.
