Replying to: kneisl1 (Oct 08, 2008 7:27 pm) I'm driving my car at the garage next wednesday after the thanksgiving holiday to install a new battery and bleed the clutch, the mechanic will check the mass air sensor for the occasion and i will come back to you next wednesday evening.

#5456 of 5644 will it make it? by bert9 Oct 12, 2008 (5:54 pm)
I have a 2001 Echo and need to make to southern cal from north carolina in as little as 4 days? Will it make it? Replies to this message: nippononly (Oct 12, 2008 9:10 pm)

#5458 of 5644 nc by kneisl1 Oct 13, 2008 (8:19 am)
Yeah how many miles and is the cars maintenance up to date? The ECHO is a very capable car and would have no problem crossing the country in four days. Of course a 2001 is now eight years old so if it needed any work (brakes, shocks, muffler) you should have that done before leaving.
#5459 of 5644 Wiring headache? 2000 Echo by lisamarie537 Oct 14, 2008 (6:43 pm)
I recently discovered I had a blown fuse for my radio(cassette/cd/radio) which I think is also affecting my clock...I changed the fuse and it blew right away. so...does anyone know where to find a wiring schematic so I can try to fix this..I'm LOST without my radio...I'm guessing it's probably a short somewhere? Anyone have any information?
#5460 of 5644 wiring by kneisl1 Oct 14, 2008 (7:26 pm)
I have the SM but unfortunately it has no schematic in it (gotta buy that separate) Might not do you much good they are pretty hard to read these days. Look in your owners manual and see what else might be on the circuit for the radio. Perhaps that is the source of the short. (or maybe the info is on the fuse panel) Have you had any work done on the car lately that might have disturbed the wiring and pinched a wire. Like maybe a new heater core or something? Perhaps you can look behind the fuse panel where the fues for the radio is and figger out which wire goes from the fuse to the radio and trace the wire looking for a pinch/short. Or take the radio out and follow the wire that way. If you disconnect the power wire to the radio and put in a new fuse and it DOESNT blow, that would tell you the radio is bad. But without the radio hooked up if it DID blow you know its not the radio.    Really if all else fails I have to think the dealer should be able to fix this pretty quick. Look on ebay if you need another radion.    Good luck and tell us what happens!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Oct 09, 2008 4:59 pm) I've just driven home after being at the garage today. A brand new battery was installed, the air filter was changed and the mass sensor was checked as the wires were cleaned by the mechanic. There were no significant amount of dirt on them. We will see in the next weeks if the stalling still occurs or not. I am curious about the liquid to clean up the wires that you were planning to tell me ? what is it about? does that clean-up is limited to the wires or it is appropriate for other parts around?
#5462 of 5644 liquid by kneisl1 Oct 15, 2008 (5:38 pm)
Well if the wires were not dirty it wasnt necessary to clean them: in fact its a little risky to clean them because if you break them you need a brand new sensor! But you would use spray carb cleaner with maybe (maybe) a qtip if just spraying wouldnt clean it up. Thats the only thing I know to check in that area if you are having motor running problems that you could clean.    Good luck and tell us what happens!
