Shopko has them on sale and friend is thinking of getting one. Looks to me that a bypass module would be needed also. Any feed back on these remote starters or can suggest a better one would be appreciated.

any pro's or con's

It only occurs at or near idle rpm speed. When I manually accelerate the engine the noise drops out. As rpm's decrease the noise pop's back. Any ideas....? DOHC problem? or Power Steering pump interface shaft...? Any suggestions on best inexpensive documentation source to show this area in an exploded view.

First, I noticed an occasional flicker in the headlights, then they stoped comming on by the light sensor and the manual switch wouldn't work either. The only way to turn them on was to flash the highbeams on and off. That no longer works, actually the highbeams wont even stay on unless I hold the switch towards myself the whole time i'm driving. Also side markers come on automatically at night, and can be turned on and off with the manual switch during the day. Tail lights ans signals all function normally. I didn't try and replace the relays because the only two I found were on the fuse pannel under the hood, two seperate relays for the left and right but being that they both failed at the same time I saw no reason to replace them. Everything else on the car works just fine except for the fuel gauge which occasionally will jump around spontaniously.
Does this sound like the Malfunction switch or have I missed something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The low coolant light is on, but the radiator and recovery tank are both full. i've bled the air out from the bleeder valves, but it stays on. the stuff in the recovery tank looks a little slimy - like there's a bit of oil in it - but the coolant in the radiator and engine look good. Could it just be the sender? it doesn't run hot at all. Where is the sender on that car?

If I come to a stop, then turn the wheel to the left before executing a fast turn (hit the gas hard, to get across multiple lanes of traffic, for example), I hear a loud clunk coming from the driver side front. I initially thought the problem was a bad CV joint, but the boots on the inner and outer CV joint look fine to my (unqualified) eye. Making turns at speed is not a problem. I've tried doing the 9 and 3, 12 & 6 test with the wheel (grasp the wheel at 9 & 3 or 12& 6 and rock) and have had no play, so I assume the tie rod ends are fine.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what the clunking sound could be? ]]> Century purplegrog http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971430 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970851&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:52:08 GMT So my Mother says her driver door wont shut. I press the unlock button numerous times to roll over the clasp in the door. No luck. The clasp is in a closed position so it cannot grab onto the bar. Any idea how to "open" the clasp in the door to allow it to, at least, shut? ]]> Century karsdad http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970851
