[DML] Re: Some Questions For The Group

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

> a) My windshield wipers work but the washer doesn't-I'm thinking 
that most likely the washer motor has gone out or should I check for 
something else first? 


More than likely it's the pump.  Not much else between the pump, 
filler bottle and wipers.  Could be the tiny hose is clogged.


> b) I just had all of the brake disc pads replaced but the front 
brakes tend to squeak while braking.  Any ideas what could be causing 
the noise?


If you can see a refelction of your hand on your rotors, then they 
are glazed.  You can have them turned for about $20, but you may also 
have some luck sanding them with a fine flapper wheel.


> c) About 50% of the time the car starts with no problem but the 
other 50% it tries to turn over but just doesn't quite make it.  I 
replaced the cold start valve but the problem still persists.  The 
only way I can get it started when this happens is to use starting 
fluid which I hate to do since I figured it can't be at all good for 
the engine.  I definitely need a tune up as I have had the car for 2 
months and haven't replaced any of the plugs or wires yet.  Any other 
suggestions as to what may be causing my starting issue?


Check to see if your fuel pump has the wires secured on the contacts 
and check the ground wires too for dirt.  When you turn the key, you 
should hear the frequency valve buzzing behind you and the fuel pump 
humming in front of you before you start the engine.  Sometimes it 
can be an electrical issue so you may want to look into that.
