Brake sensor, might be time for new brakes, or just another messed up sensor (get used to it)

I have changed a few cylinder heads under warranty for this type of problem. The exhaust valve guides wear, this causes the exhaust valve to seat badly, giving low compression. if one cylinder compresion reading is more than about 50 psi below the others, then this warrants head removal. It is quite a job, due to the fact that the camshft id chain driven. If you are up for it then once the head is removed, poor liquid into the exhaust ports and see if it leaks out through any of the exhaust valves.

Hi crossley 82
Check the engine coolant sensor. This sensor controls the fuel / air mixture, and was a common problem on that model.
Best of luck

change your distributor cap.

I would suspect one (or more) of the coils is weak. You may be able to tell which one if you disconnect them one at a timewith the engine running,they should all make the same difference.If one makes little or no change in the way the motor runs,it's that one.

Cables should not smoke - this is indicative of a short or that you were turning over for an excessive amount of time. If the car won't fire then the most likely causes are faulty ignition coil/s or fuel pump failure.

ur problem cud be a tuneup--change or test plug wires--coil--etc/alsoinjectors may need cleanin or u may have vacuum leaks--do a complete inspec and a data stream run to get values-code readers arnt enuff info---------obtain a repair manual for procedures and dont go to a dealer

Cooling System Malfunction.If it is full of coolant then try a thermostat.
