Re: Wife's 5ktq quits




1st check the ol' fuel pump.............how is it doing......
if the fuel pump is your friend and you are sure it hasn't started to quit on
you then.......you need to check the vacuum lines on that car....I think the
car is quiting on you because their is air getting into the engine from old or
brittle vacuum lines.....the yellow anti-lock light might be coming on because
the car is stalling......I thing that you should look at the crankcase
ventilation hoses which get soft and mushy over time..........these when the y
start to go provide rough idles performance and even stalling.....

if that is not it....then tell me...is it an electrical shut down ( doesn't
sound like it )

you should probably scrutinize the operation of the fuel pump and fuel pump
relay again......do you know how to get codes from the ECU ? let us know if
you need help....

best of luck...
