Sounds like you have a vacuum leak. If you have the V-6 engine, those have a PCV hose under the upper intake plenum that likes to leak. You will need an upper intake gasket set, a new PCV Valve, and some PCV rated hose to fix it. DO NOT use regular vacuum hose on the PCV or you will be doing it again in about 6 months. Standard vacuum hose breaks down rapidly when it is exposed to engine oil.
.
Check all your other vacuum hoses first. Fix any leaks you find. If you don't find anything else leaking, then the hose under the plenum is your most likely suspect.

no ck crank sensor or ingintion module bad

any type any colour ,its all the same eythelene glucol just sold in different cans and its all mixable together ,use a minimu, of 20% solution in a warmer climate and pure antifreeze in alaska and leave in all year round do not drain .Empty the cooling system every 4 yrs or so and refill with fresh antifreeze as it can go acidic with age which is the effect of combustion seeping into the cooling system ,happens to all engines even new ones so its nothing to worry about .

Look on the inside edge of the driver's door.

MOST VEHICLES HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER BUILT IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. OVER TIME THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL GET WEAK & IT WILL TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON & OFF. YOU PROBABLY NEED A NEW SWITCH & THE FUSE BLOWING IN THE TAIL LIGHT CIRCUIT MAY BE A SEPARATE ISSUE.

Wheel cylinder

WELL ..THE FINAL PASS ON IT IS 65 FT LBS
YOU WANT TO DO THREE PASSES OF EQUAL INCREMENT'S LEADING TO 65 FT LBS
STARTING FROM THE CENTER TWO BOLTS AND WORKING YOUR WAY OUT IN A CROSS
SO BASICALLY THE FIRST PASS WOULD BE 21 FT LB.THE SECOND PASS WOULD BE ROUGHLY 43 LBS THEN THE FINAL PASS OF 65 FT LBS.

follow the top rad. hose it goes to the thermostat housing... remove hose the 2 bolts pry of cover take out thermostat ...

p.s if you go any autopart store... buy a repair book it will show you were it is..

I don't believe it will. in 1988, the industry standard freon was R-12. around 93, all GMs were switched over to R-134A. R-12 connectors, charge ports, and even seal tolerances are very different, so an R-134A compressor cannot hook into an R-12 system. You would be better off trying to find another compressor from an 88. I hope that helps.

Thermostat housing bolts (wiith 2 bolts) to the intake manifold.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this). Good luck.

Sounds like a plugged fuel filter. You might have dislogged some "crud" when removing the lines, etc... Can't be 100% sure without doing a test on the fuel system.
Good Luck.
