CHECK THE FUEL FILTER

Your headlights are just bulbs that need to be changed from under the hood. When you open the hood and look at the back side of the headlight you will see the wires sticking out.There is a black plastic ring that you will need to twist counter clockwise about 1/4 of a turn then pull. You will end up with this ring the socket and the old bulb in your hand at this point. If you look at your new bulb (don't handle by the glass!) and compare it to the old you will be able to see how the socket comes off by pulling. Reinstall in oppisite order and you will be fine.

fumes from evaporating gas in your tank are captured and absorbed by a canister rather than being vented to atmosphere as they used to be ... when you start the car it purges the fumes from the canister and directs them into the intake manafold where they are burned with normal gas ... often over filling the tank can cause gas to flow into the canister instead of just fumes .. this may, in time,fix itself if you avoid overfilling the tank unless there is a failure somewhere in the evaporative emission control system ..(vacuum hose, solonoid, gas cap and such) .. a bad, loose or leaking gas cap can cause a problem by allowing air to leak into the canister ..

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. Try changing the gas cap first then check the rubber hoses that are visble on top of the engine. Vote "Yes" for me!

A bigger fuse can burn things, be careful.
You have an amp draw bigger than the fuse can take, that's why it blows, and the clutch on the compressor for the A/C may be your culprit. If you can unplug the wiring to the compressor, replace the fuse with the correct one, and see if it fails then.

open the hood and reach behind the lights. There should be a ring, turn this plastic ring until it stops and the bulb should come right out, theres probably a better explanation in your manual

check all the fuses and check that all the plugs are all in and tight

Spray some carb cleaner ta the fuel intake to see if it improves, if yes then add some carb cleaner fluid in the fuel line to clear the nozzles..sodeep

is there a staker under the seat or in the boot

In a case like this, it's never simple (i.e. spark plugs or plug wires) but I did find a craked distributer rotor once that was the cause. That is a cheap fix but sometimes hard to get to.

be specific what you working on hot wires can be red orange or purple . ground wires can be brown or black.

it has 92 hp at 6000rpm 93 ft lbs torque at 3000 rpm
