    The brakes: Your rubber brake lines might be bad. Check them for cracks and bulges. You dont want your brake lines to explode trust me.

    Clutch, is it a grinding noise coming from the engine/tranny or from the cabin?

    Yea I had a brake line bust on my Legend this = No fun. On the clutch thing, it is coming from the pedal or very near to the pedal. I am going to grease it up and see what happens.

    Well I replaced the ECU, CLock, and radio fuse and that problem with the radio and clock went away. I also put some carb cleaner in the EGR valve, but I havent had a chance to drive it around to see if the PGM - FI light turns off.

    I am having trouble finding anything on the forum on how to remove the front corner light. I have a turn signal out and I can't see any way to remove the light, unless I take out the headlight or something, but that seems like a lot of work to remove a corner light. Any help would be appreciated.

    I cleaned up the interior and it turned out great, there is a pretty bad leak that is getting water all over the floor behind the passenger seat (I think it is because that rear passenger window is not sealing) the trunk leaks horribaly also.

    flip your head lights on like this

    you should be able to see a gap where the head light is and the corner light that where you can see two screws. when removing these scres you should be able to get the corners off, you have to slide them towards you. hopefully you can understand what i am trying to say

    Not true. The fuse he replaced powers the memory circuit for the radio, clock, and ECU. It's not the main power for the ECU.

    Well, he isn't banned & yes I agree with "get his shit together". Something didn't seem right with how that played out. I don't think he needs shot in the head either. I was being little over sarcastic with the smileys. It just eats me up when people don't do the right thing & take advantage of newbies. (what it looks like to me when it happened).

    Anyway, some people lack integrity, respect & morals. I've seen other people get shafted on here too. I hope you didn't loose to much money, at least he sent some of what you paid for. No problem, good luck doing the motor.

    I think he will get what he deserve, sometime in life and I will have to figure out something for the shift linkage. On a happier note, my friend let me try out his slipstreams onmy car to see what they llok like and this is what I came up with. It definitaly needs to be lowered more, but besides that it's pretty clean.

    Now the car wont start, and I know it has something to do with the Fuel system. I am going to have to replace the fuel filter, pump and I need to knwo where the fuel relay is located.

    The fuelpump relay/mainrelay is located above the fusebox in the dash bolted to the A pillar. If you remove the cointray/fusecover you can see it if you look up. It's black with an orange bottom where the plug is plugged in. Remove the 2 nuts holding the fusebox (10mm socket) so you can push that a little to the side and you should be able to remove it. But your hands will recieve som beatings while removing it.

    Did you try taking off the fuel hose at the fuel rail, and check if fuel is flowing?

    Well I went to change out the Fuel pump and the car started right up before I even changed it, so it kinda sounds like it is the relay or a wireing problem. I am going to check out the voltage on the relay tomarrow. Thanks for the reply

    Yes, that sounds like the main relay alright. Resolder it and it'll be just fine.
