******* car is killing me ... the more money i throw at it ... the more she says **** off give me more.

1. Driver window switch wasnt working for passenger side. I take it out repair it ... everything is fine and dandy ... and what do you know .. the freaking button itself basically disintegrated. So now i have the borrom off and have to use the white boxes underneath the switch cover to engage the window up and down

2. Install new water pump ... now the car is filling the overflow tank to max capacity and still saying to add coolant? (no i dont have a blown seal)

3. I have a clutch and pp with only about 4000 miles on it. I think this crapped out, which lead to my transmission crapping out. So now I have to replace both, and its going to run me somewhere around 1100 dollars that I dont have

4. I have a mysterior idle issue that I cant figure out for the hell of me. My car will idle fine at about 1300-1500 rpm. However if I try to hold a certain speed while driving it will buck back and forth a little bit.

5. ******* wiper switch

6. My altenator keeps draining my yellow top optima. I need an FD altenator and FD pulleys .. sigh

/rant for now

 

1) yea, those suck
2) you've got an air bubble in your system
3) I've got a 5spd transmission for ya if ya want it.... PM me. Cheap cheap.
4) check your AFM and TPS
5) refer to #1
6) definitely go with the FD alt, but you've probably got short draining the power somehwhere.

 

I'm so glad my wipers work, because they seem to be a hassle.

Regardless of the fact that my car barely goes past 3800 rpms, the sunroof kinda works, and it's charging at 18V.

 

You can probably find replacements cheaply at the wreckers. They may not work, but will provide you with the parts you need to build a working switch.

Bad rad cap or pinhole leak in the hose from the cap to recovery tank.

How could the clutch have killed the transmission?

The idle sounds like a stuck thermowax assembly. Bucking is generally a TPS issue, but based on your idle problem the whole think could be caused by a vacuum leak.

Get a rebuilt unit from Icemark, or rebuild it yourself. Parts are a few dollars.

For now you can just swap in a good FC alternator or have you existing alternator rebuilt. If you are handy, you can rebuild your alternator yourself in a few hours.
