Hell, this is probably gonna be an endless post

Here's what's wrong with my 99 RS at this point in time...

1. I need to either replace the fuel pump, fix a relay, or fix a problem with the ecu.
2. My wiperfluid just won't work.
3. I need a new oxygen sensor.
4. I need to either replace the thermostat or the heater core.

That's all I can think of right now.

Check to see if you have power to your washer pump when you turn it on.

If your not getting any heat in the vehicle, let it warm up and grab both of the heater core hoses. If one of them are cooler then you need to flush your heater core. :57:

Thats what you get for buying a dodge....


Anyways, you should always try the cheap stuff first. You can do the thermostat for less than $75, the heater core for less than $150, the wiper fluid is probably a leaky hose, relay is about $25, fuel pump about $200, ecu repair can be VERY costly... as can O2 sensors.

Here's a list of everything currently broken on my car, and I just spent all my money on a turbo kit, so don't feel bad.

Only one windshield wiper works
Windows rattle
CV joint is shot (pass)
Headliner is torn out
Exhaust leak
Blown shocks for months up until last Saturday
Hatch shocks are slowly going up
Pass airbag cover is popping up a good 3/8"
Side mirrors only have 2 bolts each and rattle like hell
Oil leak
Power steering leak
Moon roof rattles
Idle surges

I think that might be all.......

Ok, more details...

1. Sometimes(most of the time) my fuel pump doesn't come on. Recently, it starts up but doesn't keep the fuel coming so it stalls right away at about 500rpm.

2. My wiperfluid just won't work, nothing comes out at all. Not even under the car and the fluid is full.

3. My front? oxygen sensor is kaput and it is horrible on gas.

4. My car takes FOREVER to warm up.

thats all...for now

if it does not come on then your car should shut off.

2. My wiperfluid just won't work, nothing comes out at all. Not even under the car and the fluid is full.

Have you even check for those noses on the hood?? it might be clog from wax, hard water, junk etc.

3. My front? oxygen sensor is kaput and it is horrible on gas.

You can change it yourself. well take about 10mins thats if your OBD1 OBD2 little longer then that. each O2 might cost up to 100 bucks.

4. My car takes FOREVER to warm up.

I don't see whats the problem in that my corolla takes about 10mins just to get to normal temps. I have try everything and don't work and i have given up on it.
