It is a problem with the fuel pump relay behind the battery firewall. Replace this then you will be OK.

check the transmission fluid level if possible. did you have any other service done. ?

look for a fitting on the fuel rail. Turn on the ignition and depress the valve like a tire valve. You should get fuel pumping out of it,no air. Then let the valve close and try to start it after a minute or so so it can build pressure. _Ned_

Check your fuel pump pressure. You can rent a fuel pressure gauge from autozone and check pressure coming from supply pump. I bet its weak. Hope this helps.

I found a link that you might be interested. For spare parts I found ebay is another source besides the junkyards. http://www.motorbase.com/shop/profiles/by-id/10852/

The most likely cause is water allowing secondary (spark) voltage to go to ground. Look at all plug wires. Inspect carefully the inside and outside of the distributer cap...

Can't get free, but you can get a Haynes Manual for around 20 bucks it will have what you need
Go to any parts house and they'll have one specificly for your car.

Strip fuse is blown should be by the driver side strut mount in a tootsie roll shape snap box. Or its the blower motor regulator which is under the blower motor.

you never use tape on a presurized system. Any cooling system containing a thermostat build pressure. tape will not last long. A new hose is the only solution.

Pls Check your Steering Column Dust Boots or Rubber Bush.

i take it its a new car to you make sure central locking is of and go to your filler and give it a push it should just spring open

it is possible to find it in the glove box as well

You must have a serious vacuum leak under your hood somewhere. Use a stethoscope, or a lenght of vacuum line held to your ear, and wiggle all vacuum lines around while listening for a hissing.

What I have found is that it is the Hazzard Switch (the button with the red triangle on it) I have seen recalls but not for the 2002 model. One fix is to place a piece of paper (some what thick) inbetween the hazard button and the AC vent, so that you are placing pressure toward the hazzard swith.

there is no amplifier. you just need to find the memory wire that is hot all the time and the 2 wires that are hot with the key on. One is for radio operation and the other is for antenna operation. The speaker power is supplied through the fader switch in the center console and the switch is powered by the head unit. Just hook up your circuit 30 and your 2 circuit 15 with a ground and run you speaker wires to the head unit or if you are installing an amp from the wires from the fader switch. That switch can be popped out with a flat blade screw driver, Hopefully i have been helpful

bolted to the belhousing by 2 bolts on passanger side of vehicle. 1 main power wire (hot at all times) and a signal wire(small only hot in start position grounded by nuetral saftey switch) check to see if both connections are tight and also check the 13 mm. hot lead at back of alternater. make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable in case you accidently ground you wrench

The starters on the Diesels are pretty heavy duty so unless the bolts or a wire is coming loose I would rule out "going bad already" Other issue would be if you put in a used one 3 weeks ago.
Take note how the ignition feels when you turn the key, if you wiggle it and turn it slowly just right does it help ? The contacts in the back of the switch may be wearing out.
I hope this helps
