Hey everyone! I posted a few of these questions in my thread in the new member forum, but I'm hoping to reach more people in this forum. I bought my SC a month ago, and it had been sitting for a few years before. Now that it is seeing regular action, there are several things popping up that need attention. Here's a list of problems/symptoms that I hope you all can help me with:
1. Hard starting when engine is warm. When it's cold, it fires right up. When it's warm/hot, it takes about 4-5 tries to get it to start up.
2. ABS pump intermittently stays on after the key is shut off. The ABS and Parking Brake dash lights intermittently light up. I must disconnect the pump after parking and reconnect when starting to keep from ruining the pump and running down battery. (I tried posting this in the Brakes Forum, but it looks like that forum is closed to new threads.)
3. Interior lights stay illuminated at all times, so I've pulled the fuse.
4. Isolators for the steering rack bushings are rotted, causing a clunk.
5. Hood will not stay up, even with new gas supports (is this common?)
6. Seat belt track is clumsy and operates when it wants to. (I've seen this on other model cars so I assume this is common.)
Here are my CEL codes (bone stock 1992):
KOEO: 212
214
KOER: 116
538
I have an appointment with my mechanic this Friday, so hopefully he can give insight into these symptoms. Any added info would be very much appreciated so I can tell him what to look out for. Thanks!!
