The above details are pretty much the symptoms I am dealing with. I want to have some idea of the problem before I take it in to a repair shop and get hosed for something that may not be wrong.
The heading cut off your symptoms, it appears. Catalytic converters that are failing can get hot and smell like rotten eggs. Sometimes they break apart inside and cause blockage. Depending on the severity of the condition, it may cause the engine to run poorly or even stall if bad enough.
This is only a possibility, it would have to be checked. The smell of sulphur and considering the age of the vehicle may indicate the converter should be checked.

it seems you have to seperate issues here. fiirst let's start withtthe over heating. you stated that you have replaced the pump,thermosta,fan,clutch,all the hoses, and core. now my question to you is did you route the belt so it's circulating like it should? is it steaming out from under the hood? to be quite honest the vehicle should not even be close to overheating after driving only 3 miles. there is a possibilty that you have a bad sending unit for the temp if it is not steaming out from under the hood. your upper radiator hose is hot this tells you that the thermostat is operating as it should. the fan should be turning clock wise as you are looking at it from the front of the vehicle.when you fill the system with coolant make sure that you have the heater on high and to the hot setting. check to make open sure you have plenty of coolant and that the radiator is free of dirt and bugs.. now as far as not having anyheat in the vehicle check the fuse for your climate control. look under the dash and make sure you hooked all the cables for your fresh air door and blend door. when you changed the core did you connect the hoses in the right place?after you have checked all the hoses and the coolant is as full as can be and the heat is turned on to max ,keep the radiator cap off and start the vehicle wait for it to get hot check the upper radiator hose to see when the thermo stat opens you should see that the coolant should go down in the radaitor. do these things and check back with me on the results...please rate this help...thanks
SOURCE: Oil Leak
sounds like the oil filter housing gasket is leaking. clean the area up real good with some brake clean and then run vehicle for 15 to 30 min and see if u can see whare its coming from. it may also be coming from valve cover gasket.

remove the nut then buy a pitman arm puller at your local autoparts store, this tool will pull the pitman arm from the steering box.
