Hi Hollie, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.
Hollie, what engine do you have in the Spirit. Also has someone recently performed a Tune Up? When did the engine start back firing and running rough? How many miles in on the vehicle? Has the timing belt / timing chain ever been replaced? Please go to my Auto-Repair-Website and answer all the questions so I can help you. Here's the website:

How do i know if my heater core is bad
If the heater core is bad you will usually end up with wet carpet in the passenger side floor. Leak could be outside in the engine compartment also. Fill it back up, run it a while sitting in the driveway with the heater on. Check the floor and check for leaks under the vehicle. The other options are bad - cracked cylinder head leaking coolant into the engine, cracked engine block or bad freeze plug on engine.

Key wont crank engine but crossing the starter it will crank
best post ever, for this failure. you win a prize !
that means the KEY line is dead.
that tiny wire on solenoid is a KEY line.
and can be interupted many a way
the car has autotmatic, the PRNDL switch failure. (try cranking in neutral)
i dont think any 91 has anyd immobilizers but some have alarms that cut this line.
i looked at your schematic. (no engine stated)
but the one engine has the very odd starter solenoid.
4 lugs, not 3 like normal
the key switch powers one side of solenoid coil
and the clutch or PRNDL switch grounds the other side. brown-yellow wire. if the PRNDL is bad, park or N location its bad.
try neutral and wiggle the shifter in both spots all A/T cars.

Tranmission will not shift in to 2nd
check the fluid level in your gearbox may need topped up if low.or flushed out and a refill if very dirty if smell of burning found change it.

Can you show me the flow of the oil in a 1991
If I undersatng your question, the oil is picked up by the oil pick up under the oil pump inside the oil pan, then t goes inside the engine block casting, that has several lubrication galleries running paralell to the crankshaft and the camshaft. the head has some oil passages to let the oil drain to the pan, and tha completes the flow.

Do I have to change the sending unit when I change
Unless defective, you can just replace the fuel pump. I replaced the one in my 1991 Spirit R/T only because the electrical connector went bad (cracked and leaked some drops of gasoline on the floor).
But you can take the opportunity of performing a complete fuel tank cleaning. To do that, you unistall the tank and remove the pump and sending unit. Once removed, you can clean the inside with water and detergent. I used a small Karcher pressure washer and it was a snap. To completely dry the inside of the tank, put a handheld hair drier nozzle into the hole where the gas filling pipe goes into, and let it blow out all the moisture. I did that for 3 to 5 minutes and the sheet metal of the tank got quite warm. That guaranttes a dry tank!. do yourself a favor and replace the gas filter at this time. Good luck!.
