Trouble Spots

Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Cold-starting problems: The 1.6L engine may be hard to start when cold unless a revised ECM (computer) was installed. (1991)

Engine stalling: The engine idles rough or even stalls after deceleration unless a revised ECM (computer) was installed. (1990-91)

Manual transmission: Difficulty shifting, especially into second gear, is caused by a worn rubber stopper on the shifter allowing it to flop from side to side, but adjusting the shifter often overcomes this. (1990-91)

Suspension noise: Clicking from the rear suspension is corrected by replacing the rear stabilizer-bar brackets. (1990-92)

Consumer Guide® Estimated Repair Costs
