The “Previous Owner Bodged-Up Job” Thread

[mikesz]

Lets see! First I live in RI and bought the car in NJ in Feb when first major snow storm was coming up the coast. Driving it home check engine light went on. When snow melted started working on the car found the air cleaner was VERY old and self destructing. Replaced air filter after vacuuming the air box for debris no cel! Everything pointed to O2 sensors but they looked brand new. Also, car started to fry fuses the row with the coolant fans and fuel pump. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the fuse block. They thought it might be the fuel pump but the MACHINE couldn't identify the issue. At one point the right front coolant fan fuse fried. Replaced it and found DIY to test on Pedros page removing the relays and using a jumper. My right front coolant fan was binding! Replaced the fan and haven't had a problem since.
