There's a website that has all this information about all this and manuals everything totally free there are many actually but I personally like few .. let me know if u need help thanks

If the car hasn't been towed to a mechanic yet, borrow a code scanner from an auto parts shop (free) and check for codes (fairly easy). Then look 'em up online. I'm guessing you might have a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor, because they often fail hot. It's possible you have a broken timing belt (inside engine front cover -- not the serpentine belt that you can see). If so, there are probably all kinds of weird codes. And it's also possible the engine severely overheated and is now kaput -- but if the temp gauge rose only slightly and you didn't see steam or smell antifreeze, that's unlikely.

Pull up the error code and then seek the solution accordingly.

Check your ball joints and your springs and struts sounds like a strut bearing or mount. also check your motor and tranny mounts

Check the following_ - Throttle cable adjustment. - Throttle body gasket for cracks or damage. - Throttle body for clogged. - Idle Air Control Valve for jammed of clogged. - Air or vacuum leaks in the intake manifold.

****SEE SAFETY NOTE BELOW**** If NO LIGHTS AT ALL....CHECK THE GROUND first not only on the battery but where it attached to the frame and engine. If your terminals have not been cleaned to a bright silver look not going to make good connection. IF you have power and you hear a little click NOTE sometimes you hear nothing though, it may be the STARTER throw-out SOLENOID that engages the Starter to the flywheel. Also check the POSITIVE connection to the STARTER if you HAVE lights and hear/ or the starter does NOTHING check for loose connection (on the starter you will need 2 wrenches or could break the brush in the starter ***DISCONNECT*** THE BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING) . Once done spray terminal sealer on them to HELP keep them from corroding nothing is perfect. ****SAFETY NOTE ****WHEN DEALING WITH THE POSITIVE ( + ) WIRE/TERMINAL AT ANY TIME but ESPECIALLY TO THE STARTER... if you touch a WRENCH from it to ground not only do you SPARK but you could WELD THE WRENCH TO THE GROUND AND YES CALL 911 BECAUSE YOU "WILL" HAVE A FIRE ON YOUR HANDS VERY, VERY QUICKLY ! CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH DISCONNECT THE GROUND ( - ) BATTERY LEADS BEFORE WORKING ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IF IN DOUBT TEST WITH A TESTER**** hope I helped

If I am not mistaken there is a pin on the front corner of the assembly.. You will need to reach in behind the fixture and feel for a tab and wiggle the assembly while sliding it forward a bit to remove it and then disconnect your bulb assembly..

po171 is lean on bank 1--===causes --MAF/VAF sensors --injectors ---HO2S (heated oxygen sensor) po300 is random misfires and po301, 2, 3 4 5 6 etc is the cylinder that is misfiring most likely that the fuel pressure is below the required pressure either from the pump or blocked filter or the tank not venting properly--- (EVAP) problem check the fuel pressure ( minimum of 45-65psi) --problem pressure regulator , pump or filter replace the heated oxygen sensor on bank 1 ( in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter) as it reports to the ECM to get the correct air/fuel mix

possible clutch failure --sounds like clutch is slipping

Hey Gina, the whole idea was to get you to get a new American car... and Thank You for buying GM!!

check the battery terminals

The best way to adjust the TP position sensor is by a scan tool. With the accelerator pedal fully released the value should be between 9.8% - 18%.

What Engine?

Sorry we don't have that, you could try a company called Crutchfield

The evap system on a Toyota is difficult to repair yourself. It's probably a clogged canister, but I'd bring it to a reputable mechanic to do a smoke test on it.
