did you check the maxi fuses? there should be a big fuse with high amp supply power to those

Hi. This could be a starter problem. If the battery is OK, the starter solenoid, starter cables or the starter motor itself could be a problem.

Manifold absolute pressureor barometic pressure circuit,low input

Youre gonna love this. when you open the hood you will see the rectangular air intake right in the front middle. there is a little plastic screw the holds the plastic air intake in place. if it is missing , once you hit about 30mph the plastic air intake will lift up and hit the underside of the hood. blocking air intake will kill all power to the engine.
2 dollar fix at dealer. let me know if thats it!

probably going to have to get the arm from the dealer

Yes,this would be a good idea,and the oil light will come on ,if the engine is not running,this would be normal,it only will come on ,if there is a problem with the oil pressure,and engine is running.

It will have to be removed from the dashboard.

All the information will be on a label and also stamped in the metal casing

Check the heater hose in the rear between the firewall and the block. Turn the car on and grab a flashlight and give it some throttle from the engine bay while looking to see if you see coolant spray out under load.Be sure to test your radiator fan. You can start up your car car and let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, and that should cause your fan to come on. If your fan does not come on even as it starts to overheat, then you should replace your cooling fan. It is possible your radiator is clogged and the water is not being cooled properly. If you do replace your radiator, be sure you replace your upper and lower radiator hoses as well to be safe. If not even that helps, the only other thing I can think of would be your water pump. If you've never replaced that before, it would be a good idea to replace it. There really isn't that much to your cooling system, and it sounds like you've already replaced some of the most common causes for this problem. You can even try to use a coolant mix with more water rather than anti-freeze; like 70% water and 30% anti-freeze. Look at your thermostat, could be stuck closed, they go out. Look to your ac unit, look at the smoke coming out from exhaust tail pipe especially at morning start up, what color emissions smoke , blueish or white is blown head gasket.
Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

most things people put in gas tanks do no permanent harm, sugar does nothing because it doesn't disolve in gasoline, water will make the engine run bad, u can check the fuel by taking a sample.

get wiring diag.,check,this first,entire system,then,go from there.the ignition system!!!!!!!!!!!,keep it simple

it should be on the drivers side underneath the intake plenum just feel for it under there if i remember right its a 7/8" wrench or socket

the same place the dip stick is where the oil goes into

I had the same problem. They are brittle aren't they? I found a replacement at a salvage yard, and it took a long time to find one that wasn't cracked. You may want to go to a dealer for a fresh one. It seems the sun dries them out, or makes them crack and a new one is definately what I would do if ever I had to do that again. Be careful not to crack the new one when installing it.
