it your alternator!!

if u want to see if it your alternator, start up your car using jumper cable or something, then disconnect a possitive or a negative to the battery, if the car shut of then it your alternator.

i keep hearing this kind of suggestion..but then someone else always comes along and says that this isn't the best idea hahaa. I still consider myself noobish...so im gonna tell myself that its not too! haha but i'd do it still...gotta learn sometime right?

or if u want to be cheap like me and keep the car going for another week or 2, take a hammer and hit the alternator, that will make your alternator charge again and the light will dissapear.

fuel strainer is what their refering to as fuel filter it was filters the gas before it goes into the fuel rails and into the engine..

[NAiL05]

No there is a strainer at the pump itself then it goes through a fuel filter.

1. Fuel pump is in the tank.
2. Tightening the alt belt is in the DIY section. I posted one up removing the alternator. Instead of taking the bolts out all you need to do is loosen the 14mm, 12mm, and tighten down the 10mm which should raise the alt tightening the belt.

So far...this kind of part...is a bitch!..I know it wasn't easy from the start...but, Gah! The Haynes manual book didn't even mention about other things that are in the way of removing the fuel tank strap bolts. Frickin' ***. But Nope not done yet...Sunday worked on it. But left it in the garage. Why can't manual books be MORE specific?....


Fock it, this site is the most specific manual book anyone of us will need IMO.

sounds to me that your alternator may be taking a shit. as for the no crank, may be you fried the coil in the distr. by cranking it so many times. good luck though.

Sounds like you need to stop taking it to those aftermarket hacks, and find you a better mechanic.
