K guys so I have the car and here's what I'm dealing with...
There were no air pump fuses (supposed to be 2 in the box under the hood) and that's probably why it threw a code for running rich, I'm assuming the pump might be faulty if the fuses were taken out. I'm putting in fuses in the afternoon, not sure how I'm supposed to tell if its working? (Pretty sure dealer erased the code but I had a buddy use an obd scanner, nd it still tells the scanner smthns up)
There are 2 rattles, when the car idles it seems to be coming from the head, I was told it could be a lifter bc it goes away when I rev the car, but I had bad lifters in an intrigue and that was louder and sounded more like crickets, 2nd rattle happens when I try to turn the air on, it can only be heard inside the car and my buddy's dad thinks its the compressor or fan.
There wasn't a fuse for the pwr locks so I put one in, they still don't work, but the car locks when I start to drive and unlocks when I turn it off. I'm really just thinking of taking it into a dealer if i cant find out the exact roots of the problem and having them go over the car completely. It's 82$ an hour though, so I wanna see if anybody has come across these issues. There's a powertrain warranty on the car, so if anything major comes up I should be ok.
