I'm a complete idiot when it comes to cars. I bought a 2001 Pont. Aztek fairly cheap in March. I bought it knowing there was problems with it.
First, I know the fuel filter needs to be changed. I bought one, but I'm not sure how to install it. Could someone explain in detail or give me a good site to look at?
Also, I have two main problems with the SUV...
Sometimes it doesn't like to shift, I'll have to put it in neutral and stop completely and put it back into drive to get it to shift. Along with that, no matter what I do, it always runs at high RPMs. I think this is also attributed to the fact that occasionally, it will die if I'm coasting down a hill.
Secondly, my speedometer and odometer isn't working. The panel also says there is a problem with the brakes and the AWD is off. I have discovered that those two error messages are clearly wrong as my AWD is working fine and I've had my brakes checked.
I'm assuming those problems are related to the sensor that measures the car's speed. I read something online that said they could be related anyways.
Lastly, I had a mechanic tell me that the infamous intake gasket is leaking... I knew to expect this with this vehicle, but it doesn't show any signs of leaking. Also I have been told that none of these problems could be linked to that.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
