Impossible to answer without knowing the exact model, but generally you need to know that these panels are held in place by plastic "pins" (I don't know the correct term) that fit into holes in the door chassis You just essentially get started at one point and keep moving. It is imperative, though, that if anything will prohibit the panel from pulling away completely, you must make certain you've removed it first - like an ashtray or an armrest, etc. Otherwise, you'll be left with an almost removed door panel hanging by whatever it is preventing it from freeing up. Take your time on this and be very gentle, lest you break one or more of the pins.

check for front axle broken CV joint - either inner OR outer. Shaft may spin inside boot.

Hi Teresa, The link below is a short youtube video showing how to test and fix a car that shuts off randomly, Hope this helps.....CHEERS.. Fixing Car That Shuts Off Randomly

You need to take it to a Mechanic with A diagnostic tool They will just plug in and reset your computer.or a friend. You can pick one up for under 100 at harbor Freight tools. If there's a college in your town there automotive department will do it for cheap.

Under the trunk door

I'm afraid adjusting the bands on an automatic isn't a home mechanics job. No movement at all is more than just band adjustment. It sounds more like no fluid or no fluid pressure. Did you check the transmission fluid level? Remember to check it when the car is running with a cleaned off dipstick. Also, there is a screw on filter on the outside of the transmission that changes very easily, just like an oil filter. If that has never been changed on your '96 it may well be clogged, restricting or halting the fluid flow. If you change it, remember to top off the fluid in the transmission after.

your looking at a rebuild at that pressure blown rings or burnt out valves either way engine needs to be torn down and rebuilt or drop in another engine

You may have a short or open condition in the wire/cable connecting the two. Especially the ground connection, if it gets disconnected, the the main signal wire will pick up every stray electric/electronic noise near the wire.

There are these things called fusible links, that may be your problem. What year is your vehicle?

if its firing 180 out you need to make sure when you set the timing its on the compression . when the piston is at the very top of the stroke The first one is the Intake stroke, the piston moves down the cylinder while the intake valve is open. Once the piston reaches the bottom of the intake stroke the intake valve closes. The next stroke is the Compression stroke, during this stroke all valves are closed and the piston moves back to the top of the cylinder compressing the air fuel mixture. Once the piston reaches the top you are starting the ignition stroke. With the piston at the top the spark plug fires igniting the compressed air fuel mixture forcing the piston back to the bottom of the cylinder. Once it reaches the bottom you begin the Exhaust stroke. The exhaust valves opens allowing the piston to rotate back to the top pushing out the burnt gases.

If it seems to idle fine and take of fine then all of a sudden start to spudder, then I would check your EGR vacuum solenoid to see if it's stuck open allowing engine vacuum to open the EGR valve on acceleration when it's only supposed to open during cruise. If you locate the EGR valve, pull the vacuum line off the top and plug it with something like a small bolt or golf "T". Then go drive the car to see if it runs better, If it runs perfect then you will need to replace the vacuum solenoid that the other end of the vacuum line you pulled off the EGR valve goes to. I hope this info helps.

Yes, the engine long block is the same, any "EJ" engine will bolt up to any "EJ" transmission. I would advise you to look at the EGR setup on each engine, some had a tube that ran down to the drivers side cylinder head and some didn't. That could be a problem, at that point you would have to block of the extra port depending on if you run into one did and one didn't have an EGR tube. I would use the intake off of the engine that is already in the car, along with the cam and crank sensors. You might have to swap the oil pressure sensor and possibly the coolant sensors, the only reason for that is because the different years sometimes used different style connectors on sensors.

If you look on top of the steering column, you will see a rocker type switch. If you see orange color on the switch, that means it's activated. If you flip the switch the park/running lights will turn off. This feature is there to allow you to turn on the park/running lights even with the key off.

Check the starter and the starter connections. freyed\loose connections...

(especially any grounds at the starter or any large common grounds)

replace switch

I replaced one in my Elantra. It is located behind the alternator. I had to remove the dust cap over the cylinders to access it. It had one bolt that I had to loosen, two small hoses (one on each side) and a plug.

It is usually part of the MAF sensor located in the air tube between the air filter and the throttle body. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa
