'94 Jimmy Fuel Delivery Problems...
by kwb on Thu Feb 07 09:30:02 PST 2008
'94 Jimmy Vin# 1GKDT13W7R2526131 - Cranks, but does not start; chk'd the spark plugs, and they are firing hot; replaced the fuel filter to no avail; ref'd Autozone's online Delmar publications for maintenance & repair, and believe the vehicle to be equipped with CMFI system, but I'm not absolutely sure. It (and other references) imply a dead-end red wire coming out of a relay that services the fuel pump - I have not been able to locate the "red" wire (or anything like unto it), and I'm not absolutely sure if I've even got the right relay (there are 3 relays on the firewall - two attached together on the driver's side, each with 4 wires coming out of them but no red, and another relay in the center firewall just above the engine which has 5 wires, including a red one, but it is attached and is hot - so I doubt that is "the" one). I've got to the point that I'm assuming the fuel pump is faulty, and the fuel tank had just been filled; however, when trying to stick a siphon tube down the filler tube, but can't even get it wet - is there a screen preventing the siphon from going all the way into the tank? If so, how can I drain the tank other than shooting it with my .44 magnum? Advice, help, etc., would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was talking to a friend of mine about the idea of getting a base Porche instead of the up-coming M3. His reply, "Isn't a Porche more of an expensive rally car?", and suggested a comparison of the 911 to the WRX or STI would be more logical. The M3 is a true four door sports sedan that is very track worthy. The 911 is a pure-bread race car. For me, I'd like my car to be qualified to do the following: - take to the track - beat almost anything on the street - look really cool!! head turner - take a couple friends to the club on a Saturday night - take a hot date out to dinner on a Week night - look respectable driving to a wedding - comfortably take my mother out to dinner - fit a mid-sized surf board in my car on the way to Delmar - put a cooler in the trunk for beers after surfing - fit all the groceries in my trunk after going to Costco Ideally, I'd be able to do these things in my car. Not being rich nor married, I suppose practicality is important. I suspect the Porchce would struggle with some of the above tasks.. Joseph San Diego

I want a Honda Rabbit. Oh well.
getting worse, even with m/t sport
by johnnyb11 on Wed Jul 26 17:14:43 PDT 2006
my sport m/t now has over 4800 miles. Most recent tank - 26.9 mpg. WTF!!!! My first few tanks were always over 30, sometimes mid 30's. My last 3 tanks, below 30, getting worse everytime. AGain, love the car, but this mileage is b.s. My tire have been at 35-38 psi since day one, I almost always travel alone, 75% AC in last month or so, no fast starts or stops and shifting around 3500 rpm or lower. This is an m/t for #$% sake!

38, second marriage, 2 kids (14 and 4...!!!), social worker. Our other car is 06 crv. Between my wife and I, we've (pre marriage and since) also owned 98 Odyssey (1st gen - dog!!!!), 03 Accord EX, 92 Civic base hatch, 96 civc lx, 94 civic lx, 82 accord ex, 86 civic si hatch (my favorite car ever)92 civic lx. I absolutely love my fit (black sport mt, wanted white w/tan int, or blue, or orange, but took what I could get). Got a nice thule rack from UK (aero bars and fairing), and it's complete!!
vw's are great, but...
by johnnyb11 on Tue Jul 25 17:49:58 PDT 2006
When you buy a comprable vw (passat vs. accord, jetta vs. civic, rabbit vs. fit), vw's are almost hands down better cars. They tend to have more safety features, more neat little gadgets, more luxury features, better handling and tight powertrains - and handsome/unique bodies. The vw's are not better by a huge margin, but on day of purchase, they are nicer cars. One month later, 6 months later, 2 years later, all those strengths become overwhelmed by the negatives. The doors that start rattling, the suspension that starts making odd noises that no mechanic can stop, the first brake job that always seems to be at least $800 or more, the pricier maintenance and other repairs, the electrical issues, i had a seat cushion collapse on the left side, so I was leaning to the left until vw agreed to replace it (in less than 1 year). I have owned a passat and golf - that golf was one of my favorite cars ever (I've owned over 18 cars so since I was 16 (now 38), but in the end, my love for the car was eaten away by my inability to trust it from day to day, month to month. My friends who own them have the same experience - long term vs is a problem. Anyone who disputes this is just not looking. My favorite cars overall, have been the hondas I've owned; they've been quite similar to the vw's in power and handling (but not quite as connected, germanic), and have had less little gadgets and luxury features and even safety features, but my hondas have always been reliable, have felt as solid when they were new, as they were when one year old. A five year old honda feels like a 10 year old vw. With what we pay for cars these days, vw has no excuse for not putting more effort into quality control. If they did, I think their engineering and design would make them nearly impossible to beat... but this is long hx of the same problem. I kinda miss my old golf, but my fit is great, and will feel great in 4 or 5 years, whereas that neat little rabbit will be great, for a little while (safer, more luxurious, more fun), but the romance will be short and the breakup annoying.
