As with any no start situation, you would need to check for spark at the plugs and base fuel pressure to proceed.A common fault is the ASD relay which should also be checked.

If it's a 4X4 then check the transmission-transfert case. There's a chain in it.

What circuits had the blown fuses when they were replaced?

on the top of the transmission housing on the driver side

check your fuses under hood, relays also in black box under hood,probable blown engine fuse easy to replace!! hope this helps!!

then you have a cam timing problem.make sure the distributor rotor is pointed at # 1 plug wire on the number cylinder 1 compression stroke.

Since the car stall only in the drive position, it sounds(i'm not there to actually ck the car)like when the engine torques, it might be pulling on a harness somewhere and killing the ignition. Do this,start the car and under the hood while the engine is running, move or jiggle the harnesses around and see if the car stalls. If the car stalls try to pinpoint the location on the harness and look for frayed or broken wires.

CHECK POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE.IF IT LEAKS.IT WILL SPRAY FLUID ALL OVER THE PLACE.CAUSE SMOKING.IF POWER STEERING HOSE CHECK OUT GOOD.YOU GOT A SERIOUS VALVE COVER LEAK.

Mine does the same thing. mine will rattle like a chain dragging after I drove it a little while and it heats up. You don't hear it so much when you accelerate as you do when you let off of the throttle I don't hear it so much when I turn right but I do hear it when I go left. I had it in the shop they checked my transfer case refilled it with fluid but I still have the same noise. They claim they don't hear it but they don't drive it Long enough for it to start rattling.

It sounds like maybe the wheel bearing is going bad and might get louder as you turn.

You could have gotten bad gas in your tank. Did you try dry gas at all? Also, bad gas can leave alot of sediment at the bottom of your tank, waiting for the right movement to get moving into your system. A new filter would only get quickly clogged again. I had this happen- got gas from a station after a flood- fuel tank had to be dropped and cleaned out.

Have you verified that the clutch slave or master cylinder is functioning correctly? Check before changing clutch.
You will need a good set of hand tools, including some swivel sockets and both 1/2" & 3/8" drive ratchets & extensions. You will also need a pilot shaft to properly locate the clutch disc. (I also use at least two long headless bolts the same size as the trans to bellhousing bolts to locate transmission as it is drawn into place, without moving the disc.There are fairly good instructions in most even "marginal" repair manuals such as haynes. You will find attaching bolts as you work.
To do this properly you also need a decent floor jack to hold trans up while installing. Do not work on gravel or dirt or you won't be able to move jack as needed. If you don't have this stuff, and don't want to buy it, have a shop do the job or you likely will be wasting your $.

Check the small wire on the starter to see if you are getting 12v there with the key turned. If you are, then it is possible that the starter (&or solenoid) that checked out good last year is not good now. If no power at small wire, then check neutral safety switch.

sounds like the engine may have failed, but if u want to see where the oil is comming from buy some engine clearner spray down the top and bottom of engine and hose off, then run it and look for the leak, make sure the crankcase is full before u do this and that it has oil pressure, no use making things worse, u could also use a pressure washer, they are cheap to rent. Check around the oil filter 1st

brake light switch above the brake pedal. should have two wires and a spring loaded plunger should be easy to find and cost around 15 dollars
