Thanks for the info...I found a mechanic that diagnosed the problem that you mentioned, that cost me $210, then they informed me about the same part that you said and I found it through a dealer in Rhode Island for another $500, then they installed it for another $70. So after $780 I now have 4WD again. The mechanic said that the actuator was froze and wouldn't move. No luck with getting the part used. I have never really had any problems with the car so I thought it would be worth the money. It does handle wonderfully in the snow since I live at 6000' elevation in the San Bernardino mountains in CA. Have you had the problem with the check engine light that comes on when the car is 1/2 tank or less? The question was posted on #108 and that is the only other problem that I have with the car. I saw a posting on this site about it maybe being a button or switch located on the floor of the vehicle (I believe drivers side) and when that was pushed or activated that it mixed the gas with the proper oxygen at the correct levels so that it would no longer occur. I have to located this switch. I thought it maybe some type of floated or sensor that measures the gas tank but I'm sure that it is a major expense to pull the tank. Any answers, comments, or suggestion are greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I also had the same problem with my 2000 Rodeo with the fuel gauge. It is the fuel sensor on the fuel pump. Part # 8-25331-808-1 Unfortunately you have to replace the whole pump to correct it. I don't know the cost because mine was covered under warranty. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Good Luck! Hope this helps with your problem!

When the 'cruise control/brake light' came on, did it cause your truck to stall out?!? My cruise light comes on and if I don't disengage it manually w/in about 20 secs., the freaking truck dies... diagnostic checks don't show that anything is wrong...

Yes it stalled. I did get if fixed by a local mechanic. He found a short in the wiring harness. It was a lot of work but it cost less than replacing the entire wiring harness which I'm told costs around $1500 to complete.

Engine light & missing was caused by head gasket leak & build up of carbon in the head due to the leak. Was fixed under warranty at no cost, it runs like it's new now

Check engine light engine "skipping"

Hey everyone,
Could really use some help on chasing down a "misfire" problem. I get check eng. light and engine skips or misfires. OBD code is P0356 (primary/secondary ignition failure cylinder 6). I have replaced coil, plugs, fuel pump, filter, cleaned injectors, and checked all wires. I have pulled out PCM to check connections and all to no avail. The only thing that seems to help is to NOT use regular unleaded gas. It seems that only premium will most of the time keep it from misfiring which makes no sense. I see at least two of you have had similar problem. Any solutions found? Any new suggestions ??? Thanks!

Sputtering above 45 mph

Vehicle dramatically loses power when I get up to and above 45 mph. Thereafter you have to floor it to keep it from jumping and sputtering. Runs fine below 45 mph and there seems to be no problem when accelerating. Appreciate any feedback you can provide?
