I'm having the same problem. If you got it solved please tell me how.

GO TO AUTO PARTS STORE LOOK FOR GOOD CAR WASHING SOAP. AND YOU WILL NEED POLISHING COMPOUND HELP REMOVE OXIDATION THATS THE WHITE STUFF ON PAINT.WHEN YOU USE POLISHING COMPOUND DONT POLISH IN ONE PLACE WILL CUT IN PAINT.YOU WILL NEED A ELECTRIC BUFFER.GIVE CAR A GOOD BUFFING POLISHING USING MEGUIARS DEEP CRYSTAL POLISH AND USE CARNAUBA WAX. CAR WILL LOOK NEW AGAIN.

if it turns over and does not start may be no fuel,no spark. If it does not turn over maybe something with the charging system(battery or alternator) . You can spray wd40 into the intake and see if it will try to start, if it does then it is with the fuel system(pump,filter,line etc) Hope this helps tim

thats what its for...it aint called an expansion tank for nothing.it will go from min(cold)to max(hot)just make sure the tank cap is replaced if pressure type(got a spring in it)

its the unit that you put the key into to make the car start and run accessories.

Ignition timming is 15 degrees BTDC and is the 2nd mark on the crank pulley from the right.The timing to be set 15 degrees BTDC at 850 rpm.
Cam timming is set by (obviously piston no.1 at TDC) aligning the marks on the cams with the marks on the outer edges of the back plate behind the cams. (they are roughly horizontal) Then aligning the mark on the cam sprocket with the mark on the oil pump housing, which is diagonaly down and to the right. Make sure the slack is on the tentioner side so as to keep the timming correct. Start the car, and shine the timing light at the crank pulley. The crank pulley has 6 timing marks on it (some only have 5). There are usually 5 white marks and one orange mark. Looking at the pulley, going around clockwise, the marks go: 10 degrees ATDC, TDC, 5 degrees BTDC, 10 degrees BTDC, 15 degrees BTDC, 20 degrees BTDC. The mark colours are white, orange, white, white, white, white looking at the pulley.

You want to have the light flash on 15 degrees BTDC - this is the standard timing for a CA18DE. If for example the light is flashing on 20 degrees BTDC, turn the CAS slightly clockwise this will ****** the timing - turn it slightly until the light is flashing on the 15 degrees BTDC mark. If for example its flashing on the 10 degrees BTDC mark, turn the CAS anticlockwise - this will advance the timing - adjust it until you have it just right. When its correct, being very careful not to move the CAS at all, do up the CAS mounting bolts, remove timing light and HT lead, put the coilpack you removed back in, and you are done.
Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

If neither light comes on its the switch on the transmission, if one does and one doesn't then it's at a wire connection. Find a wiring diagram to help you track it down. Use a test light to make sure your light is getting juice. Could also be a ground issue something like a cracked wire.

Well First off all it is a fuel injected vehicle, so there could be plenty of problems.

1. Your injectors could be leaking.
2. your FPR could be set to high (fuel pressure regulator, should be around 40 give or take depending on altitude etc.)
3. Your MAF could be going out (mass air flow sensor)
4. TPS could be set wrong (throttle position sensor)
5. ECU could of went bad (engine control unit)

Now this is problem your main problem.

During startup there is a thing called your throttle bypass valve (kinda like an electronic choke) If it is set wrong of faulty it would cause the car to flood while cranking, If the car runs then dies it is likely one of the others.

I would recommend getting a haynes chilton or mitchell manual if you are tech savy and check it out, also consider taking it to a autozone or other and having a obd2 code reader read the car

Hi. Just a tip, i did this before and just carefully removed the bushing using a flat head screwdriver. Just in case that the plastic bushing is damaged which happens sometimes when its brittle, just replace it and its just easy to install. hope this helps

The wiper cam actuator the cam is made to prevent damage to the motor by using a spring to allow it to slip if the wipers are stuck or frozen to the wind shield the spring stretching causes the wipers to stop in the middle of the window not hard to replace but does require you to do a timing procedure it should come in the box if not ill give you the basics get the new part remove both wiper arms careful the windshield is under the black plastic and I've seen other break the windshield taking the wiper arms off a battery post puller is the best way to remove , remove the cowl plastic piece you will see the cam gold/silver in color remove the one torx head screw then install new one rotate clockwise 2 times should spin freely then spin counter clockwise should stop look at where it is touching this area should have a 4mm gap the wiper motor has to be in the intermittent position prior to this turn key on put wipers in intermittent let motor spin then when it stops shut the key off then install cam.

Removal Procedure:Tools Required:J 39232 Wiper Linkage Separator
Remove the wiper arms. Refer to Windshield Wiper Arm Replacement .
Remove the air inlet grille panel. Refer to Air Inlet Grille Panel Replacement .
Remove the water shield.Remove the screw and the nut.
Dissconnect the RH linkage assembly from the LH linkage assembly with the J 39232 .
Remove the LH linkage assembly.Remove the screw from the wiper motor.
Pull the wiper motor free from the slots of the bracket.Disconnect the RH linkage assembly from the wiper motor with the J 39232 .Disconnect the electrical connector from the wiper motor.
Installation Procedure:Tools Required:J 39529 Wiper Linkage Installer
Connect the electrical connector to the wiper motor.Connect the RH linkage assembly to the wiper motor with the J 39529 .
Important: When installing the wiper motor, be sure that the crank arm is in the innerwipe position. The crank arm drive pin must be engaged in the cam pocket.
Install the wiper motor with two locator pads pressed into the slots of the bracket.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

I don't know where this relay is however I can make a suggestion, go to ebay motors and order a service repair manual on cd these are great for locating electrical components they have illustrations and schematics that show a x-ray type blown up schematics that shows all electrical components and there locations respective to the body panels, dash, and unibody of the car, the cd service manuals cost between 15 and 20 bucks and have step by step repair procedures and technical bulletins,recalls etc. worth every cent. This should give you more than enough info for this problem.

Once you identify the fuse, use the plastic puller to pull it out. Replace the fuse with the correct amp.

This is usually caused by a faulty alternator.
It stays on because the alternator is not generating sufficient voltage on the control winding to extinguish it.

Check battery terminal voltage while motor running with headlights on or blower fan running.
Terminal voltage should be approx 14.5V.
Ensure alternator and engine are properly connected to ground and the battery negative terminal.

buy manual and read carefully before dissasembly

It`s probably the exhaust doughnut between the exhaust pipe and the exhaust manifold its a gasket that can move around and be damaged easly
