Probably issues with Shift Solenoids. You need a transmission specialist or an auto electrician with a pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer that can tell the solenoids to operate and confirm that they did. Or it is the powertrain module that is at fault.

no fuse for anti theft ---lock and unlock manually only thing is if to slow to put key in ignition alarm will go off but goes off/ resets when turn key order a new fob online their cheap

There is a sweet spot to turning the wheel to try to turn the key while the wheel is locked. It is not just wiggling it back and forth. You need to make sure that it is in the small window of movement between points where it stops. Just between the stop points, not on either one. Go slow and have some patience with it, it can take a couple of tries. As for the issues of crank no start, it can be for a couple reasons. No spark and/or no fuel. It sounds like you have changed the distributor so checking the spark plugs and wires would be next in that case. Checking the plugs to make sure they don't have a lot of deposits on them and are not wet. Plug wires should have good sheaths on them and no burnt parts/pieces on the wire. Make sure they are plugged in tightly. Since you replaced the distributor, check to make sure the plugs are in the right order for the vehicle. For the fuel side of it, if you can hear the fuel pump working, (a slight whirring sound), when you turn the key without starting the vehicle, check the fuel filter. If you cannot hear the fuel pump working, it may need to be replaced. You can try a simple but very temporary test to see if it is the pump by having someone tap on the bottom of the tank near the center with a rubber mallet, while you try to start the vehicle. If the vehicle fires up, you will know that the fuel pump is the culprit. If it still doesn't fire then you will know after testing all other things that it will need to be replaced.

my answers are do a tuneup and use tools and do test to find cause. not me guessing. okk? no MILES on car told. 100k 150k ,2ook are you ignoring the cam belt v6 , not replaced at 60 to 100k miles and if snaps engine is now a wreck.????? means this old belt 2000 old. 23 years old is no GOOD. turn it over means? cranking but does it crank fast or slow. ???? if fast that is cranks fast no start engine. no engine told at all, no clues. 3.3L USA engines is common here.v6 or 2.4L I4???? 6 engines used word wide but not USA. and 2 diesel engines, you never said DIESEL. 2.4L is chain drive cam , 3.3L is belt. (key point ) I will guess the V6 usa spec engine, if engine is good , compression tests pass. (a tool) and fails to start, there are these reasons all fuses checked good,transmission can shift all gears. you said GAS so I guess gasoline, not LPG or the like. only good clue was GAS.( and engine runs bad) 2nd google clue is smoke+ flooding, sure.!! wasted fuel sure. first off no engine runs good if spark is bad (otto cycle gas) nor if engine is bad. (compression below 150psi) a tool. my wild guess, no tune up done nor new cam belt ever put in V6. (right)? service history matters. checks ,actions and tests, using tools. v6 gas. 1: spark parts bad. ( called a full tuneup)and cam belt 2 new distributor cap,. rotor , 6 new spark wires and 6 new spark lugs, (a tune up and new air filter.) now spark is good. 3(so when it does not start scan the oBD2 port with a scan tool. see P03xx errors ????????? 4:fuel pressure at spec, idling and throttle max for 1second (called gunning engine(right foot) using a tool. fuel rail pressure tests using a TOOL. 5: fuel pressure too high is FPR bad. or too low. FPR is on the fuel RAIL. and loves to fail this old. !!!!! fuel pressure reg. (tested with a tool, during injector bala Learn: the dealer can NOT find it because it ran perfect that day so they feel compelled to guess. (and make money) buy your own scan tool and not go broke at dealers. learn to do a tune up first (called service points) (so when it does not start scan the oBD2 port with a scan tool. and behold P3xx errors or others. called by kids today me scan tool throws a code sure a DTC. write them all down and get help.

I would take the old one out and measure it.

Do you have enough motor oil in the motor if you do you may have a bad oil pump , but before you change the oil pump check the oil pump strainer in the base pan I hope this information helps you

For the temp engine light....could be a bad coolant temp sensor...could be located on these areas: 1. on the radiator 2. on the water neck 3. on the coolant overflow reservoir Possibly on the top/side of the engine block.

Best bet is a dealer as the keys must be associated with the car VIN.

depends on what you are working on .

Hi. The fuse is in the block of fuses. It is #18, and 10 amps. It's easy to change. There should be 4 extra fuses on the side of the panel
