Hi guys. I'm looking for a little diagnosis help before I go throw a bunch of part at this problem.
A little history.
CAR has had a slight whine from the rear , possibly fuel pump, in the past 2 months that I've owned the car.
The IAC was acting up until I cleaned and reinstalled it, idle is much better
Upon removal of the IAC the vacuum lines attached to the little connector all broke, so I spliced them together with new rubber lines which took care of the check engine light.
The temperature gauge for the coolant on the dash always reads really low, sometimes it comes up to normal but rarely.
Alternator pulley squeaks, but the car appears to charge just fine. The starts are always a little slow, but it always starts.
Now this past weekend, I had the car in the garage while changing the oil. I went to start the car and it would just not start after numerous attempts to crank t up for a few seconds each time. I unplugged the negative battery cable and reconnected it and the car started. It has been driving fine all week until tonight. My fiancé was downtown and went to start the car but it would not start after sitting for a little over 3 hours . She finally got it started, shut it off at the gas station and started it back up no problem. While on the highway, the rpm's dropped drastically about 2 times in a short period, but the car did not stall. Any thoughts as to what the issue here could be?
