You will need to change the bulb.

the problem is in the wiring at the door where the wires feed in by the door hinges will have to pull rubber boot loose to get to the broken wire

Does your vehicle have hub caps if so check to see whether all the clips are ok.
push up and down on each corner and to see if you can hear the noise, it could be a number of problems, ie shocks, bushes, wheel bearings or the bump stops in the shocks.
also jack the car up and check the steering components by wiggiling the wheel left to right looking for excess play and check the CV shafts and boots, usually if the boots are damaged the CVs will either need re greesing or replacing.

parking brake cable is seized or improperly installed.... check that.
I'm uncertain what you mean about the calipers.... but having to push the cyclinder back in to change the pads is normal..... do one at a time. after you have installed the pads, pump the brake then do the other ..... check your brake fluid level when you are done as well.

never did figure out the cable I was questioning about but it seems to have been a stuck valve in one of the other parts of the valve body used a can of Mr Muscle and ran it 3 or 4 times and it straightened it out

thanks

look under the intake there are small hoses that go from the intake to the block they get hard and brittal over the years just wiggle the hoses while it is running that way the coolant will be flow through them should find the leak

Trace your connections and make sure all the wires are intact. and check the cross conections for head lights and blinkers

how to change out my radiator..

Push the schreader valve in when the car is in the run position. Its the bike tube looking thing off the fuel rail, it should squirt fuel out at 30 PSI, watch it! IF the fuel pump is working. Look into the fuel pump relay in the fuse box if there is no pressure.

timing belt broke. does it have a distributor? Take cap off and note position of rotor if it has one, bump starter and note if distributor rotor moved, if not you need a timing belt. also you can look under the oil cap to see valves and have someone start it, you should see the rockers move, if not, belt.

Have you had the car serviced? make sure fuel filter and spark plugs with Lead are changed.

I would check the seal around the distributor cap as one of the 3 screws are broken most of the time

Hi So the new fuse blows up straight away? you cant check the wire like you are doing. Check with multi meter for continuity. then you will find the problem. You can put slight bigger fuse and see if that solve the problem.

I would start with whatever is causing the misfire. That seems to be the core of your emissions codes. Putting all codes together it seems to be clogged injectors vacuum leak. Seems to be causing stalling too.

if it has air bag in the wheel first you have to isolate the switch from the back of the wheel spokes ( side facing dash) there may be 2 screws set well into the spoke that are undone to get the center of the wheel out first from there on it is the same procedure as removing any steering wheel all is explained in the workshop manual

Your starter motor is either not getting power or in need of replacement. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with your car. Also check your battery connections for no corrosion there as well as by the starter motor. Low voltage circuits in a car are extremely vulnerable to poor contact issues.
