Ok on Sunday im driving to Texas, Im in California right now I will just be visiting for a week and heading back on Friday of next week.
Im taking my I30 with the family im sure it should make it Lets pray
My car drives great i just recently replaced battery and starter since both were bad. I did a oil change with Royal purple 10 40, New spark plugs. The car has 188,000 miles.
But i still have the cranking problem sometimes it takes two to three times to crank and start up. Am i risking anything. Should i go in the car? Give me some good Info thanks

 

Three crank to start, I would risk it for city driving but not long distance.

 

Most fourth gens have trouble starting. It shouldnt be a problem though.

 

Nice Then off to Texas i go On Sunday Morning

 

Bring lots of sunblock and make sure your AC is working because ITS hot! have a good road trip

 

keep a little toolbox with you...it MIGHT come in handy...
enjoy your trip =]

 

that drive through western texas will own you!!!

 

check you belts....have one or 2 extra with you just in case...

 

Great my ac is working and sunblock ill go buy some tomorrow morning.
Toolbox is ready jumper cables ready and the belts lol but i dont kno what those are lol if someone can give me some info on that .
Luckily im only going in about 4 hours into west texas and im there at my destination.

 

I just drove from South Carolina to Ft Hood Texas with no problems. I have a 97 max auto with 174k. The total trip was about 1200 miles and I think I was getting about 26-27 mpg. The only things I replaced before the trip were my belts and an oil change. My plugs havent been changed in I dont know how long but it made it and still running strong.

 

For Real? I cant tell if your joking but anyway they are your AC Belt(Gatorback PN:4060435) and PS Belt (Gatorback PN:4040305). Both can be found at Autozone for less than $20 each.

 

i'd be checking the cooling system over.
mines had plenty of problems...radiator split/ hoses split/ fan motor shot...
still smell coolant cooking
