I had the same problem for several months. Finally got rid of it by changing the fuel filter and by cleaning the fuel system

Clean your fuel system and if required change the fuel filter. I was having the same problems. With the above it is working O.K

P0440 can be as trivial as a loose gas cap, or as cumbersome as a bad vacuum-relief valve on the fuel tank. Start with the easy stuff: check the gas cap.

It was the MAF sensor. Drives like new after I got it replaced. I had cleaned the fuel injectors before and it did not help. The manual says the fuel filter is maintenance free and does not have to replaced. I still have the pesky SES light for my rear O2 sensors but they haven't bothered me in 2 years. Not planning to spend $800 to get those changed....

I30 Won't Start - Fuel Issue?

I have a 99 I30 that cranks but won't start. When it was running, it would start hard but it would eventually turn over. Sometimes it would just crank and crank, then start. Other times it would crank and stall. The car would stall a few times, then start. The check engine light came on and stayed on, so I took it to the shop. They replaced 1 oxygen sensor and added treatment to the fuel system. The issue continued and the check engine light came back on. I took it back to the shop and they replaced the other 2 oxygen sensors. I brought the car home and that was the last time I could get it to start. I checked under the fuel tank and I can hear the fuel pump buzzing, so I think it is operating properly. I checked 3 plugs and they are dry after trying to start the car. I was trying to check the spark, and it shocked the crap out of me so I don't think it's electrical. I replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator valve, but no change. The car just cranks over and over again. If I spray starting fluid into the throttle body, the car will attempt to start. When this happens, if I push the gas pedal, the car will rev up to with a high rpm, but then it stalls immediately. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it is your tranny, I think you've got a problem with your motor mounts. Overnight your motor sinks down to bind on the shaft slightly, making it hard to get out of park, and second gear is when there is the most torque on the shaft, so it makes the engine jump slightly.Same thing happened to my son's G20. Easy fix with a good jack, just check for excess play and/or wear on the rubber in the mount

Dude, you need your engine overhauled. The metal is coming from the rod bearings, and if you continue to drive it one of them will fail, throwing a rod and rendering your block useless. Surprised your mechanic didn't have an explanation for the metal, they should all know this.

Yes, another shop can fix it, or if you go down to the parts store you can get a pipe wrap that will fix it for a long time. Either way, get it fixed soon because the leak could let CO into the cabin and cause major damage to YOU!
