The linkage must have worn parts, check all the rubber couplers on the shift rods for excess wear.

Make sure u have enough petrol in your car, there is fuel supply to the engine, immobilizer is disarmed. if all this does not help then you need an expert to check if u have power to the coilpack, module, HT leads, plugs and to the injectors.

You need to give us more information on your problem. What is the symptom? What cable do you suspect? Which sensor are you talking about?

Do you find it annoying? then that's bad.

check main fuses under hood the big ones

What does one look like or where is it? Google that question. They can be cleaned & last for ever no need to replace

Could be low on coolant, a faulty thermostat, or a blend door problem under the dash.

Low or dead battery most likely, use this procedure to trouble shoot the system: READ THIS ALL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING NOTE: some vehicles have the starter relay and starter mounted together as 1 unit. Sometimes the starter relay and starter are seperate. When I refer to "relay" it could also mean the starter and relay as 1 unit. Note: "starter switch" is not to be confused with "key switch", although sometimes they are all one unit. The starter switch is usually mounted on the steering column and actuated by a metal rod. On units that are all one unit, the keyswitch/starter switch (both one unit) will have to be replaced. (this is a rare problem, so don't get worried just yet) 1. Check battery voltage, should be between 12.5-14.5 volts. if low voltage replace or charge battery, and try to start car, if it don't crank with new or charged battery, move on. 2. Check connections on the starter relay, even the small one coming from your starter switch. if loose or corroded, clean with a brush and reconnect them. Try to start your car. Did it start? if not, Move on 3. Well now we know the connections aren't the problem. How about a click? did you hear one? If a click is heard, go to #4, if nothing is heard, go to #5 4. Well at least the relay is clicking, but nothing else is going on. The relay is working, so the starter must be bad. Replace the starter and start your car! 5. Humm, connections aren't the problem, maybe the relay is bad, replace your relay with a new one. Move on 6. Now we have a new relay, with clean and tight connections. Start your car. Does it start? If yes, then HORRAY! we fixed it. Does it click? If so then goto #7, If it don't click, then goto #8 7. So here we have a new relay, with good connections that will click when trying to start the car, but nothing else happens. Starter is faulty, replace the starter, and off you go, see ya! 8. So here we have a new relay, with good connections, but it still won't click when we try to start our car. This means that your starter switch is faulty. Replace starter switch and try to start your car. Vroom! finally done with this car problem! List of shortcuts: if you remove the starter switch lead (small wire) from the relay and apply +12v to its respective prong or lead on the relay, and your starter cranks, your starter switch is faulty. You can actually hook up a starter button this way. If you jump the two large wires together on the relay and it cranks, then the relay is faulty. If you jump the two large wires together and nothing happens, then starter is faulty, or wires to starter are loose or broken.

Sounds like blower motor which has a fan cage could be hitting or is bad.

I would suggest to check brake calipers and or brackets to make sure tight. Also check make sure pads are secure.

I would test the fuel volume from before the filter and see? If it seems not enough go back and recheck fuel pump job .If it seems ok go foward and check fuel filter and work your way foward.

check all the door jamb areas to make sure the swicthes in those areas are functioning. check one at a time to isolate the bad one.

Sounds like ign tumbler or ign switch is bad? If it wont come out of park checkto make sure brake lights are working if no could be brake light swicth which controls the shift interlock which if not working will not allow the shifter to come out of park.
