Thanks.

19 ft. lbs. Don't overtighten, or you will be sorely sorry. Snap a bolt and you'll be in a pile of doo doo.

which sensor light

I have found this many times wit some aftermarket bulbs, but the most common problem is that because the wire clip that holds the bulb is so hard to get to (unless you do it every day) it may get bent while trying to remove it. When this happens the bulb vibrates and will blow just from the vibration. Wiggle the bulb to see if it feels loose, if so go to the dealer and buy a new clip. you will need to remove the headlamp to replace it. It's probably not your alternator. The airbag light would be on for an overvoltage condition.

If the system is low on freon or has other problems, the switch will not have power. Of course the switch could be faulty too.

This sounds to be a typical fuel issue. First place to check would be your fuel pump and pressure regulator to see if they are functioning properly.Here is a video explaining the procedure if you will be doing it yourself.http://www.ehow.com/video_5112424_check-fuel-pump-bad.html

So many mechanics, so little consensus. Sounds pretty common.I can't say as to why hot and cold only when moving, but it sounds like a weak performing system.As for the squealing, I would suggest removing one belt at a time, and see if one eliminates the squeal. That would be the problem belt or pulley or component. Also, if you have any idler pulleys (a stand-alone pulley) on the belt system, be sure and check them as well. Spin them without the belt on, and see if they make any noise.It would seem you need a mechanic who is willing to spend some time with you on this to find the problem. When you find a good one, you will know it by his output, and make yourself a regular customer. Good luck.

the transmission wont shift gears

Is that all one sentence? Sorry, just a little hard to understand what you are trying to ask here.

To me it sounds like water getting into your oil or even gas it could b a potential fire hazzard especially if it leaks any oil it might just b as simple as a oil change fix

it's possible the following need to be checkedspark plugsthe air filter fuel pump

There r all kinds of sensors but the most logical one is the O2 senser on your exhaust pipe. Try that one.

Check inside your owner manule it needs factory code putt back into it,Its a security code usually inside the manule. if not you will have to go to dealer to get the code.

O2 Sensor Reference Voltage Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 1)

definately sounds like a relay, i would check the fuse box see if you have a blown fuse or jacked relay... for the whole side to be out it definately sounds like something in there is blown

Hi Richard, I think you may find that the park brake works on a separate system with a set of small brake liners inside a drum on the rear wheels. If I'm wrong and it uses the disc pads, try replacing the pads and adjusting the travel, that should sort out the problem. Regards John

sounds like a dirty battery terminal but i woiuld really need my head under the bonnet to diagnose correctly

First it is possible that both low beam filaments in bulb are burnt. Check fuses for low beam before replacing the bulbs.

Maybe there is a faulty sensor or the car's engine is in need of a tune up which consists of new spark plugs and wires and new air filter..
