#74 of 82 2003 Diamante VR-X would not stay running by vidvashi Sep 20, 2009 (4:23 pm)
I parked my 2003 Diamante VR-X in the garage for a week and went to start yesterday but was unsuccessful. I thought the battery had drained (or died) but that was unlikely because I had just put in a new battery 2 weeks back. I jump started the car and the lights came on. The car started. When I disconnected the jumper cables the car made funny sound - like it was struggling to stay running - and stopped running almost immediately. Has anyone out there had similar experience. Can someone help me with what the problem could be? Thanks.
#75 of 82 Crankshaft positioning sensor by doiturself Sep 27, 2009 (10:01 am)
Code came up on my 99 diamante. Took off the timing belt covers and noticed that it seems ( according to the length of the wires on the new one ) that it seems to go into the block about an inch and a half. maybe im not seeing it right, but have tried to replace it a couple of times and cant seem to figure it out. Maybe someone out there has done it before and can give me a hint. Please dont tell me the crank has to come out! lol Also looking for a helping hand on ditailed info on how to replace timing belt. doiturself

Replying to: zasranec (Oct 17, 2007 5:38 pm) Ive got a 99 and when I went to change out the rear rotors they wouldnt budge. Maybe you will laugh when u hear this..... but on mine there were two extra holes in the area where the rotor slips on to the housing on oppisite sides of each other. Got a hair up my butt and treated it as though it was a steering wheel. I put two bolts that would fit into the threads and tightened them EQUALLY so it forcably pulled the rotor off the housing. I beat on the rotor for half an hour before trying this and it wouldnt budge. Dont know first hand if yours has the same extra holes in them but its worth a try instead of damaging something

Replying to: diamoney (Sep 05, 2006 12:53 pm) Never buy lifetime pads,which is cheaper to replace ,the pads or the rotors!
#80 of 82 2003 Diamante LS windows fogging up by brianc702 Nov 15, 2009 (4:51 pm)
We have a 2003 Diamante LS and the windows have started fogging up. I've read a little about heater cores possibly being the culprit. Can someone give a definitive answer? We're trying to sell it (less than 40k miles) and I'd like to put this issue to bed. Thanks!
#81 of 82 1993 Diamante Wag - 'no start' by bowfan Nov 21, 2009 (8:41 pm)
I've got a '93 waggy that hasn't run for a couple years, originally stopped when the 4th/OD clutches went out. Just never made time to work on it, but I've decided it needs to go. V6-3.0L   This weekened I jump started it and don't think it's getting fuel. The engine does turn over. If I spray ether into plenum I can get it to fire momentarily, so I believe it's got spark.   Disconnected the fuel line which runs from fuel filter at the front fuel rail and cranked, but don't see any fuel coming out. I'd like to jumper the fuel pump and make sure the pump is good and not clogged up. I've got a 92-96 factory service manual but it seems to deal with the dohc engines, and I can't correlate the pics it shows with my engine compartment.   I believe there is supposed to be a connector in the engine compartment that you can hook +12v to test the pump, but can't seem to find it.   On a possibly related note, the fuel gauge is registering empty, even though I've added 10 gallons of fuel to it. I've been trying to read up and think that there is a relay that may power both the fuel pump and fuel gauge, but again, I'm not sure where this would be located.   Does anyone have any pointers on location of the FP relay, FP test connection or good advice?   Thanks!!!

Replying to: bowfan (Nov 21, 2009 8:41 pm) not quite that easy. The multiport Fuel Injection Relay is located behind the glove box, and while it very well could be the cause of your problem, it requires a series of tests with a voltmeter, and a diagram of the various pins on the relay. One wrong move and you fry the whole thing.   I would suggest that you take out a subscription to www.alldatadiy.com for your car as it has all the diagrams and test procedures you need. I think it's $29 bucks for everything.   Or if you can find a used relay on eBay you can try to fix it that way.   There is indeed a "Fuel Pump Drive Terminal" to which you can apply battery voltage but the diagrams to not locate it, just show a picture of it (that's useless!).   I think a scan tool can easily power the pump as well. The pump appears to be in the fuel tank.   That's all I got for you at this time.
