That was the 2017 (I think). The 05 had a very leaky radiator, one replaced coolant was holding level with no problem.You mentioned something about a possible head gasket ? if the coolant is getting into the combustion chamber and its getting burned the O2 sensors will be contaminated and that could be the cause of the rich and lean codes.
Its easy to check the fuel pressure regulator with a hand held vacuum pump and a fuel pressure gauge. One other thing is a fuel pressure gauge, that is a very important of OB2 diagnostics. The good thing is they're now priced so the average DIYer can afford them without taking out a second mortgage.
Daughter's boyfriend.Great that you fixed it yourself and also that you're getting the boy ( your Son ? ) involved with the repairs himself. You're doing what 90% of the men in America won't do, that's Awesome
This kid wants to learn, my son does not, unfortunately. I have taught him to use a torque wrench on lugs, tighten bolts correctly, use a grease gun and fasten a car on the trailer. I am also teaching both of my kids and their significate others proper maintenance intervals, and how to be aware of problems.Not to change the subject but about the younger men can’t/won’t do mechanical stuff, about 10 years ago my stepson (Fantastic young man) at first didn’t even want a DL,,, 2nd thought I’m going to start a thread on this subject
Don't give up on your Son just yet sometimes kids need years to get their minds straight before they realize what is most important to them.This kid wants to learn, my son does not, unfortunately
My son is 25 and does his own thing, we are proud of him and his accomplishments, he has a great job with growth potential and his head is screwed on straight. My daughter is the mechanical, hands on kid.As long as they want to learn that's half the battle right there. If someone doesn't want to learn you can't force them.
Sounds like your Daughter picked a good boyfriend.
