Yeah we got her a Camry as a replacement. I did notice it appears to be smoking on start up now though.

what year and engine and how many miles.

I'll have to look tomorrow. It's a '99 Auto with the 4cyl. I think. Miles are over 100k. I'll look it up tomorrow after work.

if its a 4 banger its the 2.2l over 100k its just broke in they run for ever and for a 4 banger the power is not bad. I guess why you think it has a problem?

Oh I know, that's why I got it. My neighbor has had a bunch of turn, and the rest of the car guy group owns or is familiar with them as well so we can tackle any issues. I don't know that it's a problem, just happened to notice it looked a little smokey when it started up yesterday. Still passed emissions when I bought it. I suspect it'll keep running forever, which is why I bought it. That dang Focus grenaded at only 150k. Even my last Caravan went 240k before the tranny let up; and the engine was still fine!

Anyone think this fuel pump is bad?



It was an easy fix yesterday. My wife?s ?81 Jeep Scrambler (her first car). The rest of it, however, won?t be so simple. The body looks like a 40 year old Jeep, probably needs a frame-off restoration. It runs, but probably could use an engine rebuild as well. I?m thinking about getting it restored for her, as a 20th anniversary present. Anybody know a place?

It will buff right out.

Btw. You sure the wife wants it restored and not a new ride?

Yeah, she’s had it since 1985 and won’t get rid of it, so it’s time to restore it before it’s beyond help.

A restored Jeep might pay for a new vehicle if she changes her mind.

How do 27 people fit in a Ford Expedition?
