    Need Help in a Bad Way, Fuse Problem

    Thank you! Well, I installed the radio last year. What happened was that the fuse for the radio blew about 4 months ago. Long story short, Crutchfield tech support had me re-wire the radio to run off the battery-until I got a new fuse. Now I am thinking that I did a sloppy job re-wiring the...

    Need Help in a Bad Way, Fuse Problem

    I have checked the threads for this problem and nothing came up. Long story short, both my tail lights went out, as well as my dash light. The fuse for the tail light was blown, I replaced it with the correct amperage-15-while the car was off and battery disconnected. Turned the car back on...

    why are aftermarket parts so hard to find?

    I feel you man lol. But as the other members said, the demand is so low for our car that we get no love in the aftermarket department. And I also agree the real way to get any power is to turbo the beast lol. Really, I don't know how I feel about the situation.....I love the car, gas milage is...

    Crazy Sh@t

    Update, problem fixed, thanks everyone for thier help. Turns out one of the coil packs that was purchased off another member was bad, even worse than the one I replaced.

    Cheap price on Coil Pack and Misfire final fixed!!!!

    Your the man Alex!! The one I got from Autozone was Duralast and it came with a one year warantee so if it does go down Im going right back down there. So where should I go to get a durable coil pack? I really don't want one dying on me again, maybe I have to go to the stealership. As for the...
