I changed 3 motor mounts (not the rear) and that helped but what affected the lurching the most for me was fixing the leak in the 'accordion' intake hose.

I had to get lca bolts from the dealership. I couldn't find them at any local hardware stores. If you are talking about a horizontal bolt, it's the bottom one in the pic. fyi: upper bolt in pic goes through the bracket into subframe (it's the longer of the 3 subframe bolts)

I replaced the fuel pump housing. The top of it was cracked and I could smell gas outside the car ( but not inside). The plate holding the fuel pump housing was quite rusted as were the M4 8mm screws that held it down. I stripped EVERY one of the 8 screws. I was able to remove 4 of the screws...

My heater wasn't working at all and the fan only worked on 1 or 4. I replaced the HVAC blower motor resistor in the glove box. It was about $35 4 years ago. Here's a link on youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttbJoyl2xgY

Has changing the clutch master helped? I changed 3 of 4 mounts about 4 years ago (haven't changed the rear mount yet) and the shifting improved to the point where it's no longer difficult to get it into 1st. However, it still occasionally grinds when shifting into 2nd and 3rd after driving a...

Any luck with the wiper? Mine stopped above it's normal resting position for several swipes and then started working super s_l_o_w and then it died. I just checked the stealership on the weekend and they wanted about $330+ for it. I'm leaning towards and ebay one for about 1/2 that. '

I tried for a while to get at it without removing the bumper but it was too tight in there to get the pipe out ... you have to wiggle/turn the pipe in different angles to get it through the hole beside the rad.

It's a 4mm allen key.

I just replaced all 4 discs and pads and one rear caliper. I got ATE rotors from Canadian Tire a couple weeks ago about $52 each (it was a buy one get one free sale). I'm not sure if the sale is still on but they come on sale fairly regularly. They seem like pretty nice discs. I also got Monroe...

I replace one of my rear endlinks with a Moog about a month ago. Mine may be an older design but my grease fittings don't have the 90 degree bend like the ones shown in the link...the 90 degree bend makes them easier to maintain because my grease gun has a rigid hose. The end link is really...

Not sure if it's the same problem you are describing but cracks in the accordian hose caused my car to lurch. I also replaced 3 of 4 engine mounts (the rear isn't done yet) and that helped make the car smoother.

I had a leak in the power steering cooler hose last fall. The power steering suddenly stopped working when I was turning into a parking lot and I almost hit another car. I had to take the bumper off to get at it. I didn't want to spend the money for a new hose so I patched it with some epoxy...

I had a similar problem. My car 2002 P5 manual trans was bucking/hesitating. The timing belt tensioner spring had come off and was squished between the cover and the belt. The mechanic suspects that the last person who changed the timing belt, cheaped out and used the old spring instead of a new...

I put an ebay front pipe on last summer and it has been problem free so far. I took a look a couple days ago when I was underneath and the springs haven't started to rust yet (they salt the roads here in the winter). The seller was a local guy and left it hanging on my door handle in a plastic...

You may be able to get the paint at Paint Circuit. I had them make a couple 22a (mica blue) rattle cans for me for about $26 a can. The store I went to was at McNicoll and Victoria Park in Scarborough.

I have installed 3 70 durometer AWR engine mounts (rear not installed yet). I installed them about 4 years ago The shifting (manual) improved but there is significant vibration in the cabin. The rear view mirror vibrated so much at the beginning that everything was blurry but not anymore.

I was going through a bulb every couple months and eventually replaced the bulb holder with a cheap ($7 at Canadian Tire) generic plug. I burned through a couple of those and now I'm using quick connects. Quick connects have lasted the longest so far (about a year). I just make sure I put lots...

Thanks for the suggestions! I checked one of the bulbs by replacing it with a new one... no luck. As for the connectors, I'm not familiar with where the connectors are. All I originally saw was a bundle of wires taped together near the fuse box. I'll take a look again to see what connectors are...

Thanks! I'll try tracing back from the lights tomorrow after I pick up a meter or whatever from the hardware store.
