Hey everyone! ok i just bought this car about three weeks ago!!! got a good deal on it so i thought!! ha ha was i ever fooled... well any ways! i have a 2000 se with the 2.0l vct engine! a week after i bought it.. it had about a 1/8th to 1/4 of a tank and acked as it ran out of gas!!! had to put to gallons in it to get it to start! then drove it and put gas in it! drove fine for two days the start to do it again only this time it had a half tank! and it was not as bad! so i changed the feul filter! And believe me it was nasty what i got out of there! then it was fine! then on a the followin monday i was on the highway and i lost all power power brakes and had not get up and go power so i took it to the shop! when i took it to the shop there were no lights on!! and hears the list i got

power brake booster!

front rotors need machined (warp)

front sway bar links (ones broken)

trans flush (i guess it was slippin and fluid was dirty.. i did not notice a slip)

needed two rear wheels speed sensor ( kickin on abs pump at slow speeds)

needs rear shoes and wheel cylinders!!

and there was a code in the computer!

p1383!!! (vct) Which i did not have really checked out!

i had them do the things i can do... the booster and the trans flush!



well i picked it up and it had a check engine like on and still boggin out under hard exeleration!

well today i went to advanced auto to get some carb cleaner to see if i had a intake leak! well got home and shut it off and not the sum bitch wont start

it cranks freely then it will crank like its going to start!

did i just loose my fuel pump?
or did vct just dye all together?


thanks again
