Hey guys! Got some problems with the HVAC. One of the buttons is stuck in, meaning it wont come back out when i press it.It’s the button which separates the air circulating from the air from outside thing. Also when i push in the a/c button it doesn’t light up. Another problem which has occurred is that when i first start my car after a couple of days of sitting the car has a hard time starting, meaning it will crank longer than usual before starting. usually it’s (turn key-1 turnover- start). Lastly, after the car is started and is moved to reverse in gear selector the car reverses but the car stalls out if i don’t give it gas. Another question is would using seafoam foul the plugs? Things ive done to the car that may have an affect on these problems: - new cap rotor - new spark plugs ngk g-power - o2 sensor bosch - bosch wires - 2.5 inch cat back - Seafoam I’m thinking that the fuel pump is going, or fuel regulator as it seems the car does not have enough gas. ---

My friends fuel pump was on it’s way out . Symptons: It would only have problems starting, but once started ran fine. Here and there his rpm’s would fluctuate . Either way the main concern was getting it started. Hope you can link that to your situation ---

ye my, rpm sort of like stalls at some points for 1/2 a sec and stuff, i thought maybe its our old ours not reading the signal properly, but i guess its just the fuel pump. ---

Welll i just had to get a fuel pump, and Done is right. As soon as it started the rpm migght drop at firt, but once it ran for a few minutes, you could drive it for hours.
