Should be under the thermostat housing where the radiator hose connects under the throttle body. This is on the driver's side of the engine near the exhaust cross-over pipe.

I assume all the doors are shut and the light switch has been turned to off... this is a long shot but maybe the lights might be integrated with the computer. You may want to try to disconnect the battery, wait for a minute then reconnect it... You have a lot of wiring to check if that doesn't fix it

It is very likely the part that is giving you the problem is a Crankshaft Position Sensor, they go open circuit when they get hot, then after it cools it becomes a good circuit again, this is very frustrating, had the same issue with my Buick a few years ago, replaced the coils and the ignition module at a cost of hundreds, DID NOT CHANGE A THING, the crank sensor fixed the problem and was $30.00 from Buick.

vacuum hose to vent door could be off or busted, problem in climate control. replace idle air control valve to bring in down

There are a few ways the cheapest is to remove the window regulator all together, and place a 2x4 cut to match under the window as a support, or simply replace the window regulator. Remove the door panel, and you will see that there are some bolts that hold the rails that the window goes up and down on, specifically there should be two rails, and a bolt up top, and bolt down low, and both rails (4 total). Then you will see a cluster of about 3-4 bolts holding the motor in place. Remove the motor bolts, and remove the electrical plug in as well. After the rails, and motor has been un-hooked, the window will move freely up and down. There will be two access holes in the door to remove the bolts holding the regulator to gthe glass itself. You want to move the window until you find the spot where the holes line up, or however you can access those bolts holding the glass to the regulator. Then your glass will have nothing holding it up, and you can wedge things in there to hold it, or place something under it to hold it, or simply do the reverse of what I said here, and nstall a new regulator.

If it smells sweet you probably have a leaky heater core. Which, reeeeally sucks cause I believe you have to remove the dash board to replace it.

If "VOLT" or battery symbol is lit when engine is running, the alternator is not charging the battery. Replace alternator.

Check fuel rail pressure. Low pressure could be due to clogged fuiel filter (cheap to replace) or a defective fuel pump (not so cheap...).

If the pulley on the arm is defective, it can be replaced. Otherwise the arm (and pully) have to be replaced. No biggie. Should be obvious upon inspection.

Either the horn is bad. Or the spring in the steering wheel is bad. There is a plastic part that holds the spring that breaks most the time.

no reset button. If the oil is overfull FIX IT. find out why the oil light is flashing, and dont drive it until that is FIXED. if you dont have oil pressure you will destroy the engine. thats why its RED and FLASHES so you will see it and turn the engine off.

Best advice is buy a cheap shop manual which will not only show you proper removal procedure, but will also list correct torque values for reassembly.

Remove any plastic pieces that cover access to the unit mounting screws and remove them, pull the unit out slowly because their are wired and hoses on the back.

remove bolts, pry apart, remove and replace bolts

air is getting into the system (repaired parts may not be sealed or mounted and sealed) or the air meter is damaged or not installed correctly.
