You want to confirm for sure if you are losing spark or losing fuel. Depending on which one cuts out will determine the next action to take. Any check engine lights at all or fault codes?

no as the belt drives the pump. do the job the right way and you won`t have any problems after.

Hello, Sounds to me that you need to reset the fuel pump inertial switch. It is a black box usually found in the truck. It should have a red button that you can push to reset it . Good luck.

Are you sure that is the right code? The list does not go that high. IT could be an OEM special code but that is doubtful

This is an indication of a problem for which there is a current class action lawsuit being attempted. The p0562 is the most prevalent of the issues. It is low voltage. The other code is for the transmission and this is most likely caused from the low voltage. Now the reason for the voltage issue is because either the alternator has failed and the battery died while driving or the TIPM is bad. Check the battery and the alternator and if they are ok, then it might be the TIPM and that is not a cheap part. The TIPM is a combination fuse block and voltage regulator that is computerized. The cost of replacing the TIPM is going to be close to 1000.

it sounds like #3 has a bad valve, it could cause the stalling because it throws the engine vacum way off.i had a similar problem with an 06 stratus (4cyl.) once i fixed the valve it ran great.it may not be the cause of your stalling, but you have to fix the valve to start with anyway

Buy cheap shop manual to insure you get this right!

The ac system need s to be professionaly serviced. It has to be vacuumed and recharged with the proper amount of oil and freon in order to operate properly

Check to see if there is a vacuum leak from a disconnected/collapsed hose allowing unmetered air to enter the engine. If no vacuum leak present you may have an issue with the idle air control valve sticking or defective

code p0700 refers to transmission control system/ mil--malfunction===causes--wiring--TCM check all wiring and connections to the transmission for water,corrosion etc check/change the tcm ( transmission control module)

put a charger on your battery, you can lose up to 60% of battery power with cold weather , you may have to get a new battery if it is old, get it tested,

Sounds like your fuel pump module seal did not go in properly

check your radiator, make sure it does not have air in the system. that might fix the temperature problem.

Did your timing belt break?

sounds like the horn itself is bad you can buy a aftermarket at auto parts store or original at junkyard

Did you try replacing the OLD fluid to see if that worked?

Sounds as if the car may be ready for a tune up.

Always use green if it has anything else in it drain it and refill with green
all other colors where originally designed to be better than the green but in actually they are worse
they break down sooner, leave deposits and gum up water passages
ask any mechanic that had a motor apart that runs that coolant and he/she will tell you the same
