This morning I was informed by another motorist that I have no rear brake lights. The one on the rear window is functioning, but the lower ones don't come on at all. All the bulbs look OK and the other lights seem to work. The swtich of the brake pedal arm is connected. While I try to make sense of ...

I checked and cleaned the grounds but that didn't seem to work. However I noticed that when I turn the ignition key an listened to the motor, I hear a hissing noise coming from the fuel pressure regulator. I don't think its suppose to make a sound.

I thought using the accelorator pedal on starts could cause the plenum to blow. But I think I traced the problem to an electrical connection. After squeezing the contacts for the No. 8 fuse together, to improve the contact, the starting problem seems to have gone away. I thought the cold start injec...
