OK, so here's the rundown. I have a 99 cavi with the 2200 and the (horrid i know) 3spd automatic, with 174k MILES. Now, i've been having some problems with it, and since my haynes manual isnt the best trouble shooter guide, and my friends don't know much about cavis (d**m ricers), i'm kinda SOL asking them. So, i'm gonna make a list, and hopefully you guys can help me out, expected prices, best places to find the parts, brands to stick with, stuff like that.

Hard starting and RARE stalling shifting gears(R to d, and D to R) - i've seen other posts and the cause being leaky injectrs, but the best price i've found is 100 a pop. I paid 1200 for the damn car.

blower motor ticking - i've replacd the resistor, and the ticking just started this morning, i've yet to get to the fan to see if its hitting anything, if not, any suggestions?

AC compressor clutch is shot, so i'm removing the compressor as a whole. I know i need the belt, but what else to completely remove AC system? Can i still have a heater?

Parking brake only locking one wheel. I'm seeing this as needing to repair my drums, but is there another way to adjust tension on cable?

I have a small oil leak (3/4qt every 2 months), replaced my drain plug/washer, but in the rain/snow, i still see rainbow puddles under the car.

Surprisingly, the tranny is still good, but how much of a pain would it be to swap to a 5spd? would it even be worth it?

and lastly, on occasion, I get a loud rubbing noise coming from the front drivers side. rotors are fine, brakes are good, sometimes its on straights, and sometimes its turning right, but about once a week or so, it just decides to "rub" for a second or two. somewhere between 35 and 50 when turning, and over 80 on the straights.

I've replaced the fuel line that was rusted out and the filter, so thats good. I have another set of pads and freshly cut rotors i'm gonna be putting on in the next month or so, but i still have over half the pads left on, and the rotors aren't shimmying yet, so i'm waiting for better weather.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and for those of you in SW PA, if you find your way into westmoreland county, i'll be happy to buy you a beer and talk shop. That applies for any time, but especiall so for helping me out. I live in greensburg and work in irwin, so if any of you are from around here or come through, let me know.



Any time, any where, Lets put it on the line and race thru the lights
