1. i have to pump the gas to get it to go at all times. and it barely makes it up hill. it has no power and i can rarely get it to go over 25 miles per hour. i was told its not the fuel pump, as it would not run or idle like it does if it were, i am goin to get the fuel pressure checked. and have been told its probably the fuel pressure regulator.. but have also been told it was the catalytic converter, so i spent 250 to change that and the bad muffler, then i was told it was the spark plugs, then was told it was the fuel filter, so i spent 70 dollars on getting those fixed. ive also been told it could be the cap and rotor, i got the rotor changed but the parts store didnt put the cap in with the rest of my parts, so i have to rebuy one. im at a loss with this car, ive put more into it than i paid for it, but cant afford a different car. so im wondering, what could it be? and when i have the fuel pressure checked what are the things that could be causing fuel pressure problems other than the regulator and how do i know what it is? i dont want to spend 65 dollars on a regulator and that not be the problem.
2. my heater only works when im driving, or when its been sitting and idling for over 15 minutes.. i read to check the coolant, and my coolant level is fine, so what could be causing that?
3. my sliding door gets stuck and i have to wiggle it back and forth to get it to open and sometimes i have to crawl in through the front and kick it open.. im assuming it is the latch on the inside that is getting stuck, how hard/expensive is it to replace the latch? i have sprayed it with WD-40 and that didnt help at all.. if its not the latch what else could be causing it to get stuck?
4. there is also a strong gas smell when idling or wehn i shut it off, i know there is a manifold leak, could that be causing the strong smell? or could something else be causing it?
5. do u have any tips on any of my questions, or any tips on other common problems with this particular vehicle?
