If you live anywhere cold and you have a snow-filled parking lot, drive through and hit the brakes. If the brake pedal pushed back, the ABS is working fine.

sounds like an overheated ignition chip or pickup and maybe the computer..change the chip and pickup first they are less expensive to replace.. then find a computer at a towyard to replace yours(they can match the car type at the office of the towyard using the computer there..good luck..

Let's hope the first fix is the right one!You should have two heater hoses running from the engine to the heater core, which you cannot see under the hood. Typically, the hoses are about 1 & 1/4 inch diameter, and black.That part ( the heater core) is inside, under the dashboard, sort of behind the glove box. The heater core is just on the other side of the firewall from the two hoses, which are usually "together" (means they are about an inch apart) where the hoses attach to the heater core through the firewall.If the problem is coolant ( you can tell by the color and/or taste), you likely have a heater hose that is old and cracked and leaking.Take a flashlight and look carefully, you should see sign of wetness around the ends of the heater hoses and maybe on the firewall.Those hoses usually last about 10 years before needing replacement.If you find one leaking, you should replace both of them, unless the other one has been changed recently.If you change them, you'll need to drain the radiator coolant and the hoses and collect the coolant for reuse or disposal.I would also put on new stainless-steel band clamps.Remember when you put it all back together, you will need to "burp" the air out by running the engine with the heater on full for about 10 minutes at a medium speed to get the water pump to pump accumulated air out.

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

Code 12 is system pass not codes in memory

Have you checked the fuse boxes for the affected fuses? There is one in the cab and one under the hood, refer to the owner's manual for fuse numbers and descriptions of what those fuses supply power to. If you don't have an owners manuals go HERE

I doubt it. It should have a clip that holds it which would keep you from hooking it up wrong.If you replaced the temp sensor, did you get all of the air out of the cooling system when you filled it up ?Is the fan coming on at all ? Is it pulling air thru the radiator onto the engine ?

Is the compressor working when the engine is running ?Have you checked for power to the ac clutch and the freon charge ?

Could be a long list of components including relays and the ignition module.You'll have to figure out if it is loosing fuel pressure or spark to the plugs to proceed.Is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running ?

hook it up to the to the schrader valve on the fuel line. on top of engine.

start in the middle and alternate left to right and the torque on a alloy manifold will be around 14lbs or a nip with a 3/8th drive rachet ,any water passages use contact adhesive around the water ports .

depending on the year some go threw the body control module
