Any suggestions? The car has 46k miles on it and I don't know when the last tune up was done, I always do my oil changes at 3k or less.<br /><br />Please give me any suggestions, do you think I may need a new starter or new spark plugs? Or maybe even a new battery? I only am running one 12 inch Pioneer in sub in the trunk right now. Let me know what you think, post or pm me. I just don't want my car to completely die on me before I can and able to fix the problem.<br /><br />My car is a 2003. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,1,10,20,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> No Warranty? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Yames</b> <br /><small>Member # 5291</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,1,11,5,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by JohnB:<br /><strong> No Warranty? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yeah I do for 2k more miles, I think I'm gonna have it checked out on Monday before the warrenty goes out. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Nifty50 5500</b> <br /><small>Member # 5842</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,1,11,12,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> not really to good with diagnostics but I think its probably the starter or flywheel maybe a missing tooth on the starter teeth on the flywheel try checking that <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Joooestang66</b> <br /><small>Member # 2828</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,1,11,20,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Nifty50 5500:<br /><strong> not really to good with diagnostics but I think its probably the starter or flywheel maybe a missing tooth on the starter teeth on the flywheel try checking that </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">That wouldn't cause it to stall. That would only make it have a f'd up noise while cranking. Some things that come to mind of what it MIGHT be....... fuel starvation (i.e. clogged fuel filter) or mabye a sticking IAC valve. If it's under warranty don't trip and take it in.
