You need to start from the basics and do a compression test to see if you have even compression on all cylinders. If it is considerably lower on one or more cylinders it could be burnt valves or head gasket leaking. If the compressions are all close then you can eliminate the valves and head gasket and look for intake gasket moved out or faulty coil or injectors. Start from the basics and work up from there, if you start replacing parts without the diagnosis then you can waste money on parts you don't need.

hello, it could be ground connection issue, carefully check under the dash at the left side there is a ground bus point, it's a the end of a insulated harness which may be taped to the other harness, all white black wires terminate at the end plug connector, there is a cap on the end, it's a white connector with a bunch of wires going into it, all white/black, remove the cap there may be some corrosion inside, all these wires must be grounded if they are not then make new ground connections to the body. a couple of the wires are grounded and the others get ground from them, however you do it doesn't matter as long as all are grounded. Also take a look at the fuse box inside there may be some wires that look overheated which is a sure sign of bad grounds in the DRL and lighting system,

2000 its aftermarket two ways remove the alarm and do away with it or find the switch to turn it off its either a small red button you press as you crank to start the engine or its a small micro switch.

The noise you are hearing and feeling is very likely due to a low fluid level. I'd suggest you start by filling the power steering reservoir to the correct level with the correct fluid. Cycle the steering from lock to lock a few times to see if the noise gets better or goes away completely. Monitor the fluid level to determine how quickly the fluid leaks out and also to see if you can tell where the leak is coming from. Be aware though that the longer you drive the car with a low fluid level condition, the more damage you will cause and the more expensive the repair will be.

Most overheating problems are caused by a stuck closed thermostat, if it has already been replaced the next common cause is a clogged radiator, have it checked at a REAPIR SHOP OR RADIATOR SHOP IF YOU REMOVE IT YOURSELF
