Sounds as though your engine management chip maybe beginning to die. I should get it checked professionally. If it is the chip, it will cost you a packet to rplace.

The po300 is a misfire code.This means there is probably a plug,plug wire,ignition coil,or ignition module.Check the coil towers one at a time.These are know for corroding.If you find one that is corroded then replace the plug wire also.Po171 is a lean condition code.The po300 could be causing the po171.If you have not had a tune up Now would be a good time.Hope this helps.Good luck.

you can jump out the security.. you can not trade out chips...you can try a relearn process.. as follows.. turn ignition on for ten minutes do not crank. after ten minutes turn key off then right back on for another 10 minutes...then one more time off then back on for ten minutes..then off hen try to crank.. if car starts then done.. if not send me email for way to jump out ignition.. kbutlrtech at yah00.com

might not want to hear this but sounds like a head gasket,check the oil also if the oil is creamy like a light color this is probably the problem

Has the car overheted ? If so did you install the thermostat ? Check the coolant level. Low coolant level causes the car heater to not work. Also always bleed the cooling system everytime you add coolant when doing work on a car's engine. They have a bleeding screw near the thermostat housing or on the housing itself. After getting the engine to operating temperature, turn that little screw counter clockwise. This will release the pressure in the cooling system. Keep it open until only coolant comes out. If you cannot find a bleeding screw, do not open the radiator cap. But slowly turn the cap until you hear the coolant start flowing into the coolant reservoir .

first check to see if the coolant is full if it is. it could be one of three things. 1st check to see if the temp is getting hot by looking at your temp gauge if it is i would start by replacing the thermostat. thermostat is the most common problem with heat loss. next it may be your radiator is plugged up or a plugged heater core.

If you are lucky it may be a bypass hose,or water pump ,The bad new that it could be a bad headgasket,,I really need more info to be of more help to you.

Check radiator for low water level.

In the past i have had these act like this when the cam sensor pick up magnet falls out of the cam sprocket. You can pull the cam sensor and bump the engine over untill you can see if the magnet is still in place. This will require a mirror and a flashlight to see inside the timing cover through the cam sensor hole.

check your timing

With the car on level ground, in park and engine running. Just pull out the trans dipstick. It will be marked low and high, Ususally its .5 qt between marks. As long as its between the marks, all is OK.

yes its the flasher it can be found in the fuse box or on a seperate fusible link near the fuse box.

It sounds like you have a wire grounded out somewhere. I would start by checking the wires

sounds like you need a new power window switch

the sensor is located behind the power steering pump the plug is on the front left side of motor red and green wires trace it to the sensor behind the power steering pump 8mm bolt holds sensor in and tough to pry out sometime .....

make suse you replace upper strut mounts as well. before you remove strut secure rubber block with supplied bolt.

there should be a round flasher under the dash on the fuse box
