My lanos 2002 with 35,000 miles has been messing up. I used to have no problem with it but now it's being a total jerk. First, my starter broke, and it didn't start at all. So I took it to my friend who does a mechanic and he replaced with the new starter. But then the fuel pump broke so you could hear the starter working but the engine was never caught on. So, now I got a new fuel pump which was pretty costly and the first one didn't pump as it was supposed to, so we had to turn it back and get another one. And he replaced the fuel pump and then during the process of replacing the fuel pump, some dirt went into the fuel infectors..so I got new ones for them. And yesterday he finally replaced everything, and gave it back to me. The car..was okay...but it didn't drive as it used to. Like when you start it and step on the cluch, it doesn't accelerate as it is supposed to. It took like a few seconds to accelerate. But then when it was warmed up, it drove as it was supposed to. I was not really satisfied with what he had done with it but I needed a car, so I took it and said okay.
At the night of the day I got the car back, I turned the key and the engine didn't catch on again. I was like "holy crap, not again...". I had to turn the key like 20 times to get the engine started...Since I heard the starter working...I am thinking the fuel pump failed again...I called my mechanic and he said he would take a look at it this Saturday, but it's probably the fuel pump...
I've spent about 500 dollars already to fix these craps....do you guys have any ideas? If you need to know specific information, let me know. I'll post it on here.
I do not have money to buy a new car...but I need to go to school...but my car is being a jerk....
Please help me out...seriously!!! Thanks!!!!
