Where do you put the brake fluid on this car?
The grinding noise probably means you need to put new brakes on. If you fill the brake fluid reservoir, and then change the brakes, the new fluid will run out anyways, because the new brakes will have to be put in, and the fluid will run out.

How do i know if my heater core is bad
If the heater core is bad you will usually end up with wet carpet in the passenger side floor. Leak could be outside in the engine compartment also. Fill it back up, run it a while sitting in the driveway with the heater on. Check the floor and check for leaks under the vehicle. The other options are bad - cracked cylinder head leaking coolant into the engine, cracked engine block or bad freeze plug on engine.

Key wont crank engine but crossing the starter it will crank
best post ever, for this failure. you win a prize !
that means the KEY line is dead.
that tiny wire on solenoid is a KEY line.
and can be interupted many a way
the car has autotmatic, the PRNDL switch failure. (try cranking in neutral)
i dont think any 91 has anyd immobilizers but some have alarms that cut this line.
i looked at your schematic. (no engine stated)
but the one engine has the very odd starter solenoid.
4 lugs, not 3 like normal
the key switch powers one side of solenoid coil
and the clutch or PRNDL switch grounds the other side. brown-yellow wire. if the PRNDL is bad, park or N location its bad.
try neutral and wiggle the shifter in both spots all A/T cars.

The fule pump is not turnin on when i turn the key
Considering age and mileage, the pump must be sticking. Try to unstick it by giving some soft blows to the bottom of the fuel tank, or feed 12VDC to the connector, sometimes the wiring or connectors get dirty and you need to check the full 12 volts are getting to the pump. But with a 91 on the original pump,better replace it with a new one.

How do i replace a hose on the power steering
As replacement hoses are expensive, my approach (here in Mexico) was to go to an industrial hose outlet, and order them save the connections and replace the hose section. They crimped the new assembly and it was good again. As steering is critical, and handles high pressure, a good shop is necessary. But industrial hose oulets have the proper hose (and some even better than the original) and the proper crimping equipment.
