Fuel filter 1 year, air filter 7 months... I drive about 22k a year...

I have not checked the fuel pressure. It starts fine and is running better than it did before these new parts, just not perfect.
I replaced the entire unit, plastic and motor preassmbled, so I don't have to worry about hose lengths or kinks. The pump went in ok with a bit of jiggling and turning it this way and that. I did mark a reference point so the new one is pretty close to where the old one was. The car really just coughs once when I floor it, then takes off... It starts fine and runs well otherwise.
Maybe I'll try a pressure regulator...
Thanks!

Well the MY00 2.3. LPT now has 212k. I put a new DI cassette and a new fuel pump (the whole assembly, not just the motor) and I still get a a cough when I downshift and accelerate to pass. Yesterday it coughed twice and then caught and accelerated like it should. Is this a PCV issue? Throttle body? Thanks for any help...

I had trouble with mine and ended up disconnecting the memory module. The controls still worked... MY 2000 9-5 LPT...

Thanks. It does seem like it may be the DI... Last time I replaced it was 70k ago... The misfire will show up on an OBD II? Thanks much

Hi,
My 2000 9-5 2.3 lpt with 208k runs great except around 2200rpm where it sputters slightly.... I just replaced the water pump and had a few things loosened up around the throttle body. Could I have messed up something? any ideas what to look for? should I try some Fuel system cleaner and a prayer? No CEL or anything else, just this slight hesitation....
Thanks for any help...  John

So I finally got the bulbs and they went in ok but, I still don't have the 3rd column ( Econ etc..) lighting up, the others do light up now... Any ideas?

Thanks! I ordered the lights. Looks like a fairly easy fix....
Cheers, john

The display for the ACC panel went from fully lit to partially lit to no lights over the last few weeks... It's a 00 9-5 LPT 2.3 black if that matters... 200k! The ACC still seems to work, I just can't tell what it's doing ( I hear the fan going and can lower the fan speed, by sound). The blower door motor is out.
Should I look for a replacement or can I find the burned out light and replace it?
Thanks for any help,
Cheers,  John

Thanks,
knew it was a stupid question...
John

Probably a stupid question but can I replace the ACC control on my 2000 MY 9-5 (lpt, 2.3 5 speed manual...) with one from a 9-3? I like the blue - red knob and the fan control switch from the 9-3 better than the automatic control...
Thanks for any advice!!

There is no sign of leaking at the valve itself. The hoses are real soft (14 years old too...) and I would rather simplify and remove the bypass switch. Has anyone done this?
Thanks, John

A quick search found this for $22 US. It looks like the left side goes into the engine and the right into the fire wall... Is that right? no directions are given...
Thanks,

Thanks! I found that (it's kind of hard to get to...) and the hoses look like the original ones, at least the two going from that to the firewall... It would seem that a Y connector (eliminating the valve) and new hoses may solve the problem... any suggestions where I can find the y connector?
I really appreciate the help...

I did replace the water pump and idler & tensioner pulleys about a year ago.... before they were going to fail...
Thanks,
