No too bad, but you have to take a lot of stuff off to get to it. Just a time consuming and dirty job.

The water drain hose from the rubber catchment under the fuel door. It has a stiff plastic tube that can get pulled out from it. Ther should be a drain screen sticking up through the bottom stuck in the end of the tube. If you do not see it when you open the fuel door then it may have been push or pulled down, allowing rainwater to just drain into the trunk.

304-336 NM or about 236 Ft-Lbs.

RH fuse panel - fuse C1 - 20A.
If not blown, it could also be a failed relay.

I have had the distributor rotor fail, leaving me stranded - twice. Not sure what can go wrong with them but replacing it was what it took to get it running again.

Yes, they come standard with power steering. There was most likely a problem with the power steering pump on the one you test drove. The power steering fluid could be low or dirty. Also, the pump could be worn out which would make the steering a bit stiff as you found. I would ask the seller about it and also check the fluid level, if low or dirty then request it to be changed and then test it. Hope this helps!

Hi there,

The Tachometer is used to report how many Rotations Per Minute (RPM) the engine is running at. The number will vary depending on your speed.

There is also a temperature gauge available on most models for engine temperature. It too can vary depending on engine speed, duration, elevation, etc. As long as it's below 212 degrees, you will be fine

under the bonnet there is a fuse box on the inner wing there is a fuse in there that might have blown for the charging circuit

let me know if this helps mate
cheers
big mike

you got a blown fuse.

check all the battery cables and any wires connected to battery for corrosion and breakage. When cars are stored for long periods of time the electric wires and cables become corroded and can be cut in two, not makeing connection. ay not be able to see this with the naked eye. Can also do the wiggle test, by wiggleing the wires connected to battery while having the key in the on poition, with the emergency brake on, wheels blocked and car in park. listen and see if it makes any sound as you wiggle each cable and wire. You should hear the alarm inside the car, watch and see if the lights come on and off as you do this as well. (turn on the head lights before hand, and watch the lights...as you wiggle the wires. if they do come on and off as you do this, you may need to clean or replace that wire.

If this is a higher mileage engine it is possible that you are using too light of an oil or a synthetic oil. Try using a heavier oil such as 10W-40 for winter or 20W-50 for summer. It is also possible you have a head gasket leak. If changing to a heavier oil doesn't help then you may want to perform a compression check.

could be behind the back seat or under the body frame..

You could try the Clear Flood procedure....Throttle wide open and crank engine . This sometimes works, but.....

These engines suffer from fuel wash down. The gasoline washes away the oil in the cylinders.....and compression goes away, not making the fuel fire off.

The film of oil in the cylinders and rings seals the piston to the bore making for good compression.

Remove the spark plugs....crank over the motor to eject raw fuel...dribble a couple of spoonfuls of motor oil down each plug hole and crank briefly.

Install plugs and try restart.

You are using too thick of a wire with a coat hanger. I use machinists wire to unblock the drain hole. The tube emerges under the car by the left rear wheel. This is a common problem and leads to water in the tank if not cleared on a regular basis.

NO.

I'm not sure if your 93 will have this, but most newer cars with batteries located outside of the engine compartment will have a positive post somewhere in the engine compartment that will let you hook up jumper cables to. You would then hook the negative to a safe engine ground.

No that is not Normal. There can be a lot of things that can cause the engine to run a little cooler than normal. the thermostat spring may be weak and opening to soon or it may not be closing all the way when it should.Or you may need a stronger thermostate.Even the engine coolant level can effect the heating system in the car. Check radiator coolant level Cold And over flow tank cold and replace Thermostat. Good Luck and have agood XMASS.

Hi,
The car has more than 1 fusebox. You need to find the fusebox in the facia (dash) panel and locate the fuses . It will be 3 rows of 8 fuses (clearly marked) the rows are (A 1-8) + (B 1-8) + (C 1-8) . Fuse A 2 (20a) AC blower RHS and fuse B 1 (20a) LH blower. these should be clearly marked on the underside of the fuse cover. Good Luck

Are you talking about the spark plug?

fuel filter or fuel supply issue
