Started a bad squeaking noise from the serp belt. Sounded like it was coming from the idler pulley. Just had that changed in March and it started again in Dec. My mechanic changed out the pulley on warranty but told me I had to pay 4 the belt.

Fuel tank had developed a tiny crack, causing system pressure to fail to build. No fuel was leaking. A 20 year old vehicle, new tanks were unavailable and a good tank had to be found at a junkyard. It was a fairly straightforward repair, but took time to locate a good used tank. Engine thermostat was stuck open and would not allow engine to warm up fully. I replaced thermostat and gasket and this fully resolved the issue
