the pump is in the fuel tank. you either have to drop the tank or there is a access hole in the trunk. did you check fuses and relats?

replace tps switch and adjust it to factory specs.

Replace the crank sensor to fix it. It's next to the crankshaft pulley which has to be removed to replace. Next time it gets hot and shuts off , spray or pour some water on it and see if it will start. If it does then you will know what to do.

Replace the crank sensor as they get hot they will sometimes quit working. The temp light comes on everytime the engine is turned off and the switch is on. Next time it dies spray or pour some water on the sensor then see if it will crank and if it does you know what it is.

Pull the relay for the fuel pump out of the fuse box.
Just pull them one at a time, until if stops.
Then replace the relay, because that is about the only thing I can think of that could cause this.
If expensive and you want to be sure, then look at the diagram on the side of the relay, and determine which socket is supposed to get power when you turn the car on. It will be one of the primary pair, that connect to the symbol that looks like a coil or solenoid. Then see if that wire gets power when you try to start? If it does, but does not have current when ignition is off, then there is nothing else wrong but the relay with its points welded together.

right rear 1st, then left rear, then right front then left front, this is the same for any car or truck. Always check the master cyl fluid level after bleeding each brake.

a rebuilt engine is about $1500.00, cost to install about $1200.00 this doesn't include small parts like hoses, coolant, oil etc.

There is a panel that drops down under the steering wheel. It's usually held up with a wingnut or a screw. Once you've loosened the panel and it drops down, you will see the flasher unit that needs replacing.

Better yet I have had to lift the engine to get to those plugs.

RECOMENDATION:
Get the best spark plugs you can get so it Never needs to be done again and go to a tune up shop and have them put it in for you.

INFO: If you brake off one of those plugs you will be out the cost for a tow truck also.


Hope this tip helps.

Here what I would do. Find you one of those arm pumps that doctors use to test blood pressure. (I forget what they're called) Then slip it into the door centered best you can and pump it up slowly. This should give you access to the rods without damaging your door, as long as you're careful with it. Good luck!

no it would need to be replaced and it's easier to replace it rather than trying to rewind it

usually need new bulbs in tail lights

Hello...

Next to a dealer, a salvage yard should have one. If there is not one where you are located you can do a search on the internet and find one that has the cluster and they can ship it to you.

No, you have to drop the gas tank, its inside the tank.

Try opening that calipers bleeder valve first.Close when piston is fully in. Piston might also be cocked. That is , tilted. push piston on high side. then proceed squarely.

First, have your daughter listen for vacuum leaks (young females generally have the best high frequency hearing) They will sound like a very high pitched whistle. Next, look for vacuum hoses that are damaged and leaking. Next, clean the throttle body. Remove the hose that goes from the air cleaner to the throttle body. Hold the throttle plate open and spray some throttle body cleaner (available at an auto parts store) in and scrub with an old toothbrush -- don't forget the top. There are other things, but these are the easy, common, obvious first tries.

sound like clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump.

It's just under the water pump. You most likley need to replace the magnet that is on the cam gear to fix it. The sensors hardly ever go bad. The timing cover will need to be removed to fix the magnet.

you need to call a tire place. They have a database that pretty much covers any and every car tire vs. rim size in the universe. NTB- MERCHANTS- FIRESTONE- SEARS any one of those

Where all those parts, so bad,they had to be replaced? You tested them to determine that,and only then,you replaced them? Correct? Now you need help?
