How do I check the TPS, if the mechanics didn't find any codes.

is the IAC hard to reach, what is ECT?


Okay... if you pump while cranking, the computer will feed MORE gas than
normal.

If you push to the floor and HOLD IT there, the computer will feed LESS gas
than normal.

The reason for this is that is how carburetors work and it's quite handy to
know.

As for the terms, I just posted a glossary of EFI terms and a lot of other
people helped out.

I suggest you get a Haynes or Chiltons book... you can find the locations of
these at www.autozone.com component locater in the repair section

Thanks for the replies everyone! I wound up flushing the entire cooling
system, and just for kicks, I disconnected the hoses from the heater
core, and flushed it out seperately with hot water from a gardenhose. At
first it barely dribbled out, eventually got full flow. It looked like
some sort of sludge from that damn Dex-cool antifreeze. I replaced it
with the tried and true green kind. I guess time will tell if it works
out okay.

I thought coolant circulated through the heater core all the time. Seems
like if it was clogged up, then the car would have eventually overheated
due to constricted coolant flow.

While I have mine in the shop for them to figure out why I suddenly lost
overdrive, I'm having them check to see why the heater isn't working, too.

I agree. In fact, I consider my involvement in a flamewar from time to

Well it DOES circulate all the time, the hot side comes off on the engine
side of the thermostat.

But that doesnt mean anything particularly in regard to the radiator as they
are "parallel circuits".


YOu're right in that a sludgy heater core would signal possible problems
later ... I'd bet the radiator needs attention too. However there's a good
chance that the rad has larger passages than the heater core.

Before reading your post, I did the same this morning, with less chance,
before cranking I put the pedal to the floor and release, then crank... did
not start easily.

Had to crank a few times.

Could this problem be related to the other problem I have with the van, lack
of power, when I put the pedal to the floor, the engine simply doesn't
"take" the gas,


Thanks for your help.

I'm hoping that all the flushing took care of the radiator as well. I
ran it for quite some time with Prestone radiator super cleaner in it,
and let it flush for a long time. I also got that orange crap out of my
2000 Cavalier. It looks to be a major pita to change the heater core in
it, too. I sure do love my old Ford trucks...they are both 1978's, and
the cores can be changed in well less than an hour in them.

Subject: Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat Dies of His Illness in Paris,
France

Early this morning two CNN Journalists discovered the CCTV footage that
will
shock the world. At 3.30am, Paris time, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
has
died of his illness at Paris, France. He was 75 years old. As yet to be
released to the nation due to the governments concerns over national
Security, CNN has decided to inform the public of this terrible event. A
short CCTV clip as evidence of this tragedy has been posted here and there
will be more updates to follow as the news filters through. President
George
Walker Bush: "This is a sad day for the world that the Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat has died". President George Walker Bush is offering
condolences to Yasser Arafat's family.
