he was being sarcastic. anyone can go to advanced auto and get a free scan. or walk into a dealership and ask, they will usually too.

well actually i was kinda being serious, if he can get a basic OBD read for normal codes, no big deal, but if he can get a full parameter scan from one of those scanners that cost a couple grand, then yes he is lucky, because all the dealerships i go to charge 100$ for this "diagnostic" scan, or they see my car has an intake and they think i race it and drive to redline 24 hours a day and say they wont touch it

aha, Thanks ;p, but yeah they typically charge for a scan at the dealership too I think, but they do it for free if they know you are having problems and are ready to pay or have warranty. I have neither but everytime that damn SES light comes on they clear it, only happens when I fill up the car. it's some emissions code or something.

Any difference between the pump-side fitting between the variable effort and non-VE pumps? I have a VE pump that is on its last leg (no assist at idle, making parking a PITA)... since I don't want to spend $300 on a new VE pump (and I don't have any of the other stuff to make it work anyway)...

Cliff8928 09-21-2008 12:49 AM
You just swap the VE stuff over when you change the pump.

Kardain 09-21-2008 01:05 AM
That would work except the only VE part I do have is the pump

<-- doesn't have an Alero, just has the heart out of one

Cliff8928 09-21-2008 01:18 AM
In that case, the VE pump outlet is 90° to where the standard pump is.

Kardain 09-21-2008 04:41 AM
ah hell. I figured it would be something like that...

I changed out the idler pulley and that stopped some weird noises from under the hood, but I occasionally have weird steering noises and a squeakey rubber noise at the steering wheel. It has done it for a year though so I am not in a rush to swap it out yet.
