I have a few problems, quite annoying, and i'd would like to get them all fixed. I'll list the symptons below and if anybody has any ideas it'd be greatly appreciated.
#1 Car doesn't start very easily. I received a tip on SN to prime the car a couple of times, let the fuel pump prime etc. If i do this 2-3 times the car starts up after a few times turning over. When i bought the car i could turn the key and it would start up on the 1st try. If i don't prime then the car takes alot of turns to start. I was thinking it was the fuel pump, but in the upper-rpm's i feel no loss of power so i don't know.
#2 (could be related to #1) Something is wrong with electric power. Sometimes when i'm in low rpms driving, or if i just made a real sharp turn @ low speed my car will just turn off. Every once in a while my speakers turn on and off and they pop. I'm wondering if this is a bad ground somewhere? Or if my battery is on the way out. When im driving and it turns off around a sharp turn it's scary bcos of no power-steering.
#3 Annoying front end squeak/growl if i turn to the right when i'm going slow or reverse out with the wheel turned to the right. My car was squeaking really badly and i got the Tie-rod replaced. Everything seemed fine for a couple of days but now if i'm going slow in a straight line i get this annoying squeak/rattle. I don't know how loud it is outside of the car but it drives me nuts. When i'm turning all the way to the right i hear this growl. Both of these noises seem to come from somewhere in the front of the car. I'm not sure if they are related.
I know this is alot to read but finally these little problems added up that i thought i would post and see if anybody could help me out. Thanks in advance for any help!
