Is there coolant in the radiator??

No it isn't

may need new battery

Please explain what type of problem you are having with the vehicle. There is no such thing as a transmission blower sensor on this car.

Is the cooling fan operational? you should hear it cutting in, the tank you are talking about is an expansion tank, when the engine gets hot it allows for expansion of coolant, the caps on these tanks can fail they are designed to allow the release of pressure slowly, when they fail the coolant system can over pressure causing the car to run hotter than usual pushing coolant into the expansion tank, when this happens the water pump doesnt operate as designed and ends up slowing coolant flow. To check run the vehicle with the cap loosened and see if the issue continues.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.

Probably the speed sensor @ transmission (especially since your trouble began with speedo. Is your check/service engine light on? If yes have you had the codes 'read'? If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/tasa_06404e20147f8840

Usually on top of the bell housing.

with a LOT of elbow grease. Those things are pressed in and you probably should take it to a shop to get them removed. If you've done something like this, then you know how to use heat or penetrating oil to help.

I have never seen a gas additive that was "thick". You may have plugged a fuel filter. Should be a cheap and easy replacement to try.

The 02sensor is a sensor strategically placed in key spots , one per bank of cylinders upstream of the catyletic converter to monitor the amount of un burned fuel by measuring hydrocarbons left in the exhaust after combustion and compares that data to the reading of the sesor situated downstream (after) the cat.conv.and sends that data to the control module which then adjusts the pulse width, ( amount of atomised fuel delivered to the cyl.) to achieve a environmentaly friendly emission most commonly metered at 14.7:1 fuel/air ratio

Po 430 emissions code refers to po430 catalyst efficiency below threshold too many hydrocarbons in downstream o2s do backpressure chk to see if cat conv. Is clogged.

Po 430 refers to catalyst efficiency below threshold there are saturating amounts of hydrocarbons. (unburned fuel) in exhaust readings. Possibility its a false reading from poor gasoline

I would check the fuse box and locate the fuse to that circuit.

Need to be more specific here. Runs rough...like misfiring? or vibrating excessively at about 1500, and again about 3000 rpm? If it's the latter, chances are your engine's balance shaft is not timed correctly. This causes a heavy high-frequency vibration/buzz throughout the car, at the aforementioned rpm ranges. If it's more like a misfire/stumble, look into your ignition system, or possibly a sticking EGR valve. (This will cause a mild surge/bucking under light accel, peaking between 45-50mph. Good luck!

Um, replace it? If you need more information, you need to provide more detail. Remove the panel inside the trunk and remove the blown bulb. replace with a bulb exactly like the one you removed. Take the bulb to an autoparts store for help if you aren't sure.

You may have a leak. The system has to be within a certain pressure range to run. I would start there. It can be easy to check, or take it to a shop and have it checked.

on a Honda the 2 bolts holding the distributor to the headare at the base of the distributor 1 is a pivot bolt one is an adjustment stop for the advance and retard adjustment tif those bolts are not present the distributor will seperate from the camshaft worst case scenario making the engine unable to deliver spark and the eengine will not run.

It might make poor contact with the rotor. Also it may giggle causing an out-of-alignment firing, and it may allow moisture inside the cap.

What bolt is missing on or in distributor as if outer bolt holding distributor on to the engine this will allow distributor to move and your timing will move so the engine will not start or miss fire and can cause a blow back through the carby and a FIRE so get it checked now.
