this is a fairly easy task. disconnect the battery cables on the batttery remove the + cable from the starter and the ignition signal wire these bolt onto the starter remove the 2 bolts holding the starter to the transmission install is the reverse of the above if you feel like saving a few $$ and the solenoid is still working. disassemble the starter just 2-4 bolts and change the worn out contacts for the motor. most parts stores will have them they are small copper 'L' shaped pieces and cost $5-7 total

have your head gaskets and radiator checked

You have to hook an OBD 2 scan tool up to the data link connector and check to see what code is present. If you have a knock sensor code, you need to replace the knock sensor. If you get a P0420: Catalyst system efficiency below threshold, you will need to replace your catalytic converter. But if it is nothing important, the only way to clear a check engine light is with a scan tool. You can usually go to any aftermarket parts store and they will check and clear you codes and light for free. I hope this info helps.

check fluid in resvior,bleed and check hose to tranny for leaks,clutch slave cylinder might be bad but try first.

hi it should be a 22mm bolt and best way is to put the car in 4th gear or drive if auto and get someone to jump on the brakes then use a strong arm to remove as they are very tight

the blower motor is located under the passenger side of the dash. The blower motor resistor is located behind the glove box assembly. You will need to remove the glove box assembly and then you will see the resistor. It will have one connector with four or five wires and will be held to the HVAC unit with 2 screws.

This really sounds like a vacuum hose got knocked loose. The oil light is not a concern, as you are idling very slowly.... Look for loose, cracked, dislodged hoses and any intake leaks.

did you do the basics? replace plugs, test fuel injector output? tune up? most of the time when we see miss fire codes a basic tune up takes care of the problem. check these items and check the compression and get back with me and we will see if we can get to the bottom of this problem.

You need a battery and check the terminal make sure its clean and tight

Hi, welcome to FixYa! My name is Shaun. My suggestion to you would be to return the car the the shop who did the work and point out your dissatisfaction. If the gaps are as large as you describe, the glass and trim probably weren't set correctly, and water could easily seep under these gaps and freeze causing the gaps to grow larger and ultimately cause leaks around the windshield, not to mention the possibilty of standing water causing the sheet metal to rust from the edges. Hope this helps. Have a good day!

hi sounds like the idle control valve i would get it tested at a shop or try another one to eliminate the problem they are located on the throttle body usually a small black square box. If that fails try swapping the airflow meter

Should be right in front of the steering wheel under the hood...on the left side of the engine mount.

Hi i believe you remove the rear bumper by taking out the spare wheel and removing the rubber bungs exposing the bolts that are hidden beneath

straight pipe baby , just don't tell anyone...bad for the greeners...

You have a couple of issues. Oil in plug well is usually a valve cover leak. The power loss - you're going to have a competent shop/tech actually visually inspect, there's too many possibilities for me to suggest without actually seeing it and I don't want you chasing "ghosts"

Check your coolant level, if ok, replace the thermostat.If you have been losing coolant for some time, and you are not leaving it on the ground, have a reputable garage check for an internal coolant leak using a block tester.
