Your vehicle is equipped with an OBD II computer AND a link to connect OBD II computer to a Smog Check Analyzer or Data Scan Tool (available at most auto part stores).There are two types of codes, bad codes and good codes. The good codes are the "Readiness Flags". These Readiness Flags indicate that certain emissions systems which the OBD II computer has been monitoring have PASSED the test, indicating that those systems are working properly. Then there are the bad codes. The bad codes are actual "Trouble Code". These codes indicate that the OBD II computer has detected a problem with in the emissions system. The Trouble Code will specifically indicate the component and problem which was found. Newer vehicle's have very complex codes in the thousands. "Readiness Flags" do not cause the "Check Engine" light to illuminate, but may cause a vehicle to fail the smog test. In order to set all the proper "Readiness Flags" the OBDII system must complete at least one drive cycle (in some cases two or three). A drive cycle is a sequence of internal tests which the OBDII computer runs while your vehicle is being driven. This insures all emissions systems are functioning properly. Only then will your vehicle pass the smog inspection. A drive cycle usually requires one week of driving.

Are u talking about changing out injectors yourself or having a mechanic do it? My suggestion is to take it to a local mechanic u trust like a AAA certified mechanic and they will give you estimate. When my grandson had his done it was about $500 to 600 but I don't remember everything that was done and he went to a dealer which was too high

The way I did it was I used an air hose and blew out the trash

-Check the shift linkage cable to the shift arm at the transmission. Is it still connect good? If so, check transmission fluid. (Must be full to indicator level when it's hot while the engine is still running.) Automatic transmission can't run without fluid. Good luck Mai

First, how many miles are on you 06 Vue... Because what your describing sounds dead on like a water pump/timing belt about to go bad on you. YOUR BEST COURSE OF ACTION is to take it to a garage you trust (not always the dealer) and have them take a listen to it. If it is the water pump or timing belt, have them change both; the only difference in price is for parts---WELL WORTH THE PIECE OF MIND--- knowing that they were just in there and could have done it anyway.

The most common source of water on the floor is a plugged a/c evaporator case drain hose. This drain is generally located down low on the engine side of the firewall at the passenger side and is usually a small short open ended hose that points down. Debris and bugs will clog this hose which makes the water that condenses on the evaporator [whenever the a/c is on] overflow and leak out of the heater/air conditioning housing and onto the floor. If it hasn't rained for some time yet you are still getting water on the floor I would bet on this hose being plugged. A puff of compressed air is enough to clean most of them out. Most sunroofs have one or two small drain holes that allow water to run down through the door pillars and onto the ground. If you pour a small amount of water around the top edges of the sunroof when it is closed you should soon see water dripping onto the ground under the outer edge of the vehicle. A few sunroofs just rely on tight weather stripping to keep the water out but those usually drip water on the driver or passenger if they are leaking. I see a lot of leaky windshields but again, it has to be raining for water to get on the floor from them.
