Have you tried Insta-Quotes and estimate cost yet?

Several possibilities; loose bulb in the socket, loose wiring or connection on that side headlamp, faulty or loose headlamp assembly mounting.

At the least you have to check the power steering oil level. You did not mention that you checked it so that is my first suggestion.

This is a bad connection to the headlight bulb (loose or dirty) or it is a bad headlight bulb.

I suspect that you have an open circuit to the starter since you removed the battery and removed terminals from battery post. Check the connections at the positive terminal carefully. The loud click you hear might be coming from the starter solenoid and if there is no battery voltage in the big wire that goes to the starter (check it at the starter with a test light) then that confirms an open circuit out of the positive battery terminal.

so it doesn't do it when you ease on the gas? only when you gun it? this could be many problems with only this info. but what you would need to do is first check the fuel pressure possibly its losing pressure or not enough to keep up with the sudden acceleration. a tps sensor could cause this type of syptom. a mass air flow sensor possibly. Like i said with only this info there are many possibilities. try cheking if it has any stored trouble codes that might lead us i the right direction.

if you run your car near empty try replacing your fuel filter first

When I had this problem, it turned out that the engine just needed a tune-up. I say "just needed" because I got some terrible advice from a local crook running a small auto repair shop who sent me on an expensive wild goose chase - especially "expensive" compared to the cost of the tune-up by a local Lexus specialty repair shop, which charges about two-thirds as much as a dealer repair.

if every thing is in good working cvondition and gave is a tune up because there very exspensive

Try the many on-line auto parts sources; such as - www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.partsgeek.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (RockAuto) list the MAF sensor for around $84.00 for your vehicle.

I've never known a vehicle to leap up. Seen some hydraulics that resemble a car jumping. On a more civilized note, give us any info you can and include what if anything have you done or checked, any parts that were replaced, and what if anything lead up to this. Remember we are here you are there, touching, listening and feeling it.

Does it lock manually? If yes, the door lock module is either bad or its ground is loose. You need a car electrician for this to check the door lock circuit.

check to see if your security button is on and check the fuez

I'm not real sure about your question, though a gas smell is nothing to play with. A safety issue at best. Re=formulate your question with a bit more detail if possible for us to help you.

it only started when this sound started i was told it may need a fuel filter. it also takes time to run up to speed. had the tuneup not as bad but still a sound and not excelarating as before

Sounds like you need to take it back to the repair shop that performed the tune-up.

mainly check and replace spark plugs and your cats might be going bad

open the trunk and on the left side in the little box open the box and there shiuld be a cable to release the gass door

im sorry it is on the right hand side
