I bought the car used about 10+ years ago. I have to believe that the fuel filter has yet to be changed.

Hi, A few months ago when trying to start, the car would crank over but not start. When I turn the key off and turn back on, the car would fire up. This happen about 2 more times over a 3 week span. I took the car to the mechanic where the problem did not replicate. Mechanic said it could be a...

Purolator is 22 psi

Using magnatec crossed my mind as well.

I live in MD. The VVT is new to me. I dont do towing, the biggest payload would only be hauling a ton of wood pellets. If the consensus is to stay with 0w20 any preferred bran? Im used to having earlier 2000 cars and can run anything in them

My reason being was posted in my thread

Hi Truck call for 0w20 dexos. Thinking about using 10w30 QS synthetic for more protection. Should I go with that or use 0w20/5w30 QS synthetic? What about qsb/pyb 10w30? Thanks

Update: After finding no cracked hoses, I found a few articles for testing the sensors. When I started to test the TPS sensor and turn they key to ON, there was a loud clicking noise for about 20 seconds then it stopped. I started the car and it was idle hunting (i had just got back from the...

What would be the procedure for using the carb cleaner?

Hi Need some opinions. Backstory: One morning almost a year ago the car would start and then instantly shut off. Replaced tps sensor which fixed the problem. Few months later engine light came on and it turned out to be the iac motor. Seems like every month or two thr idle hunting returns...

2003 Mitsubishi eclipse gs Out: qs defy 10w30 & purolator 14610 In: pyb 10w40 & purolator 14610 4k on oil

Makes sense. Napa 5w30 has been a synblend as well (new bottle).

Besides PYB, looks like my best options to try would be GTX, Mobil 5000, and Valvoline Maxlife. Last time I used Valvoline (white bottle), I found that there were black specs of debris in the bottom of the jug. Only noticed when I went to put what remaining I had in the my push mower. I've...

Probably my imagination then. I'll just stick with PYB. Trying to get all the vechiles on the same oil.

Thanks, would be either 5w30 or 10w30. With PYB car just doesn't feel as smooth at the 2k mark. I know some of this is just from the car being used. Was just going to try Castrol to see how it does
