Could be a number of engine related problems, but rough idle on an old car is most often from dirty injectors.Go to autozone, for less than $5, get a bottle of injector cleaner and mix with a tank of premium gas. Let it cycle through and that should help the rough idle.

CHECK GROUNDS

If the key and switch are now turning on & off properly, does the starter engage & crank the engine? If it does, have the key & lock cylinder checked by a locksmith, or mechanic with the needed diagnostic equipment. The cylinder reads the key and tells the computer that the car isn't being stolen, activating all the other systems. If this is the problem, it will require removal of the air bag & steering wheel to be replaced.

try reset and see how many came back.

Sorry its hard to diagnose from afar in this case as the normal answer would be to check the fuse and the stoplight switch but if it appears loose then maybe the linkage inside ahs fallen apart so i would suggest that you ask a local mechanic to have a look for you

change ignition

good day.not really enough detail but if the clicking is worse or only there when you are making a turn i would suspect it,s the cv joint.however if the clicking happens when you are on a rough surface then you should have the suspension and front end components checked by a pro as the problem could be with a ball joint or a broken component in the suspension wich could cause loss of control...good luck

Ther is a problem with some computers in that they shut down the engine for no apparent reason. This problem hounded Kia owners as the engine just stopped at lights but restarted with no problems. Check for any fault codes and check for circuit problems with alternator as some cpu's get their power directly from the alternator and it has to be full voltage or they sense a power failure and shut down.

The most common cause is that you were given the wrong thermostat when you purchased it. The second most common problem is that the thermostat was installed upside down.

low coolant or leak,rat. gasket,water pump,house .

It sounds like a battery issue. New cars have a built-in voltage sensor that when it drops below a certain cranking amp level it will disconnect all power to the vehicle. It happened to me once. Try jumping it, if it starts it's the battery. Also clean the terminals as they do create a corrosive gunk around the positive terminal that cuts power from going into the wire. Some baking soda, a little water and an old toothbrush go a long way here. Also, if you have a battery terminal brush, even better. But be careful with any stuff falling on your eyes, clothes or skin.

Recheck your work Did you install new springs?Flush/Bleed the System?Turn the Drums?New Wheel Cylinders?

If you have checked the radiator coolant level and it is correct, I would think that maybe your thermostat is stuck in the open position which will not allow your engine to come to the proper operating temperature.
