:confused:
So heres the list ...
1. There is a rubbing noise whenever i veer left on turns or even when i'm driving
2. When my sunroof starts to open it starts to rumble and then just stops, only happens sometimes, sometimes it doesn't close, sometimes it will work just fine ..... replaced the fuse, no change
3. When my fuel light comes on, the gauge will go all the way up to full then come down and slowly go back up to full even though i need gas
4. Sometimes my car will turn over start then shut off

Please help me anyone ...... i just can't figure why any of these things are happening and i don't wanna take it to a shop just yet

Thanks

The noise could be your front tires, if they are too old the weigth of the motor makes that noise, the structure of the car hit the rubber of the tire.

I had that problem, I changed the tires and the problem dissaper.

1) - like carlos said, it could be tire related. Or the way you're describing it, it could be a bad CV joint.

2) - sounds like the motor is experiencing thermal shutdown. Most likely time for a new sunroof motor - you already proved it's not the fuse, and I don't think the switch is a culprit from the way you described it.

3) - Your float in your gas tank could be stuck / sticking, or your gas level sensor could be messed up. Someone with more knowledge will hopefully post on this.

4) - when your car shuts off, can you describe it more? Does it stumble and stall, how does it die, how long does it take, ect. What are the symptoms. More info will allow us to figuire out what the problem is.

Mavrick, About the sunroof, have you tried to lube the slide rails? if not give that a shot, if it is not able to slide easily the motor may be getting hot and kicking a thermal shutdown. as for the other issues Sir Ridenour is the man with the know how, everything he said ...fits.

Good luck,

LoL :) - Dan, you are the man with the know-how, my friend! lol yeh that lube is a great idea too. I'm thinkin some white lithium grease might do the trick. You should be able to pick up a tube for around 5 bucks I'm thinkin.

Re the possible sticking float, toss in some concentrated injector cleaner in the tank, at around 1/2 full, not only will it help clean the injectors [which could be the stumble prob.], but the cleaner is known to free sticking internal floats so they work again.

Try the idea of some lith. grease, if ya don't have any, use carefully some spray silicone lube on the tracks and rails, work the roof over it a few times, re-spraying the tracks each time, to free up any binding, like the other guys suggest.
