you know, there are 2 Technical Service Bulletins TSB for the Matrix for the Fuel Pump and the PCM/ECM, do you guys have one for the vibe? i woud imagine you'd have to. they will replace the fuel pump and ecm under warranty. and it shoul help with stalling

ouch, maybe then i wont touch the IACV. damn this is scary.

thanks to the pictures provided here:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=26647illustrating where the IACV is lacated, i think i can tackle cleaning that part also and see if it can help the rough idling.i'd love a picture to see where it is located so i can decide if i want to tackle it. i've on...

hey guys, i was wondering if you could supply a picutre of where the first oxygen sensor is located in the engine compartment. second one is underneath the car near th back i believe. i'd like to take the first one off, clean whatever carbon is on there and put it back.

so i've had some problems with a rough idle. after reasearching here and on http://www.matrixowners.com, i have narrowed it down to pcv valve and the IACV aka IAC Valve or Intake Air Control Valvei now see where the PCV valve is located.now i would like to locate where the IACV is located. seems cle...

i had the same problem with the toyota OEM filter the dealership put on, i ended up using the above picture end cap 65mm (smallest one on the rack) and an extention on the ratchet. that finally did it, i never thought of using screws, it's really messy down there.
