Yes, most of the parts will fit but may not be exact depending on the part/and RPO code. For example, you could have a different gear ratio in the rear end, this would physically fit, but might not work for your purpose.

Could be dirty throttle body,air filter and fuel filter.

is checking the fuses all the repairs you have made so far? Do you feel cold or hot air moving from the vents when you are driving down the road?

im sorry to say no it will not.

If this is one of the models that does have a speedo cable, then you have to find a way to get your hand behind it to press in the tab lock that holds the speedo cable to the back of the guage. Without doing that, you will break something.

Try pushing down on the parking brake while pulling on the release handle.Downward pressure may make the release handle easier to pull.Good luck,

You will have to manually release it. First make sure that your handle is still attached to the rod since these do sometimes have a tendency to brake, if it is broke, you just have to pull the rod by hand. If it's still intact, you will have to follow the rod to where it connects to the cables and once again, manually pull it by hand. You might have to actually follow it all the way to the back axle from underneath where the connections are made to apply pressure to set and release and make sure there isn't anything broke there. Worst case is that when you last set your e-brake, it broke inside the drums and you will have to rebuild. Hope this helps some. Good luck!

Dear sir
sounds likea fuel delivery problem,
try your filters first as they are the chepest and eseyest to change then see how you go use ilimanation! if not then start looking into CO settings in the air meter.e.t.c.

Allways try the obvius simple and cheapest solutions first! theynearly allways pay off.

P.S. the CO settings only apply to the petrol version NOT DIESEL
If it is a Diesel engine vesion, old filters will almost certanly be the cause with out doubt!
Have a great day Bruce

yes you have to get doors opened the screws are behind the doors

give firestone a call let them know what you are wanting to do,they are always helpful on this subject.i trust them with all 4 of our cars...

use a large screwdriver,tire iron or a wooden spoon[?] inserted into the 'hole'between the latch levers,where the post should be.lift door latch as if to open door,pull/pry latch 'ears' open.if they don't stay in place when opened fully,latch may be broken.

cables are probly seized and will have to be cut ,and replaced

This could mean your timing chain if off a tooth. Do a compression test. Lowest cylinder should have at least 75% compression of highest cylinder. If off check timing. Thanks

hmmmm....in older cars....the fuse box is located under the dash on the drivers side.....but if you cant find it there......they are sometimes located in the engine compartment....."but i highly doubt it....only newer cars have it like this.........good luck......

also if you happen to find the fuse box....you will be likely to find the relays around the same area.......

Is the air filter clean, believe it or not a clogged air filter can cause unburnt fuel. If it isn't the filter is the check engine light on? If so have the codes read, it may be a bad O2 sensor. It also might be an injector going bad.
