Ongoing List Of Issues. Added More Problems + Questions....
Hmmm...
Water getting in trunk (discussing in another thread)
Wheel speed hub sensor might be causing the ABS and traction control light to come on...
leak around the c-pillar. Likely the sunroof drain tube.
A newer problem. The thing in the car where u pull to access the trunk... the cord/thingy is stretched out to much or broken. What is needed to fix this?
As in another another thread. The front passenger side door is rubbing against the fender. first the door will rub then when the door is open all the way the molding (is that what u call it) will rub also. Putting a clip back in would likely fix the moulding rubbing but what would I need to do to fix the door rubbing?
ANOTHER new issue. I have water getting into BOTH outer tails now. Usually just the left but the right one is worse now. What do I need to do to get rid of the water in the lense and seal it?
Just looking for advice/directions on what to do. Also an estimate of costs if necessary on these. Hopefully to use this info to help get it fixed before or during the meet I'm planning on attending in late Sept.
Everything is appriciated!
EDIT: adding more issues I'm having. Kinda sad IMO when u can't remember all your problems when u have so many :(
The panel under the sunroof is off and in the trunk. My former owner/aunt told me there was something wrong with it when she bought it.
The car has always been idling pretty bad. only runs good when theres some foot on the pedal... A friend alerted to me that 1 of my spark plug wires has a LITTLE damage to it. Could that be the cause?
The inflator for the seats hasn't worked. It makes a loud noise though.
And while I'm here I have a few questions on some things...
Is replacing the ECC unit easy? just pulls out and unplugs?
the seats just have 4 bolts into them would that be correct?
Thanks again...

The tail issue is probably your trunk leak as well. Get in there and find out if you have any bad tail studs. If so, that'* your first attempt.
WSS you need to find out if that'* an issue. Any wheel bearings acting odd or making noise?
Pull C pillar and investigate. Badnit fixed his A pillar river with free stuff laying around the garage.

The tail is held to the car by 3? nuts that attach to the studs that are part of the tail. If they broke....you have a leak. Since your lights and trunk are filling with water, that'* a nice easy place to start looking.
WSS...darn..I was hoping one was screaming to be changed.
C pillar..ok...just where is the water leaking? If you pour water into the rear drains..you might see a crack in the drain tube.

To the right of my hand that area will get damp also...

If nothing wrong with vacuum lines then you need to look at spark plugs, wires, and perhaps coils.

Do you mean ELC pump?
At the moment the problems/issues seem to be too much, I'm sure. Just remember how to eat an elephant...one bite at a time. Tackle and focus on one issue at a time, then before you realize it, you'll be down to the last one or two issues and see the end of the tunnel.

I guess it is the ELC pump. It make a loud noise when pressing the buttons.

No. You're talking about the compressor that inflates the seats for the lumbar support and seat bolsters I do believe, Lash is referring to the electronic level control which raises the rear of the car when it is weighed down. I have heard of people rebuilding the seat compressor, but then again, you might be able to get one from a jy, or if you have the funds, which i don't think you do, you can get a new one, but i highly doubt its gonna be anything cheap.
