Loosen the 14mm nut on the A/C idler pulley and the loosen adjusting bolt. Remove A/C belt. Then loosen all bolts on the alternator and back off the adjusting screw. Remove belt. Reverse procedure.

Oh, I had this problem before. I had to get my fuel pump replaced, but check your fuel filter first.

OK so lets take it one step at a time.Remove a spark plug,attach the plug wire and ground the plug to the engine.INSULATE yourself from the plug.Have someone crank the car and see if there is spark.If you get a spark then it could be a fuel delivery problem.If not try, the distributor.They are optical type on that car and can be a problem .The crank angle sensors can also give you a no start.You need to get it to someone who can scan it and do a fuel pressure check if needed.I chased this problem for a week before I narrowed it down .Good luck

Just disconnect it and replace with new one

Are you talking about the throttle body butterfly valve? you can view that if you remove your air cleaner housing and pipe. There is a tube coming off the top of the outside of some air intakes...for egr. look for a hose coming from your valve cover that isnt attached to anything. or piece that broke off. this would cause an intake leak maybe. inside your intake there is a sort of tube,but if it broke you wouldnt see it, and it would go into your engine. Hope I helped a little anyways...try rephrasing the question.

adjust the idling, if too low then it can't sustain the power needed to keep the engine running when it engages.

I had the same problem and fixed it without wasting any money. My car was just out of warranty so I had to fix it myself, but if you are under warranty you'd better go to the dealer to replace the switch. But what I found is that the switch itself does not have the problem. It was the connector that's lose in electric contact. Here's the step.
1) Push drivers seat to back most to have room to sneak a look
2) Use some flashlight to see where the switches are located. If you don't have a flashlight, don't worry. Use your phone to light up.
3) There are two switches. The one in concern with the engine start up is the one on the left.
4) Pull off both of the switch (So you can have more freedom with the cable where both sockets are attached)
5) The one with four holes is the one in concern. Individual plug is shaped as a simple 'I' form. And the socket look like T shape. Use a small driver to bend the pins in the socket towards where I shape plug pin goes in to contact. You'll see what I mean once you reach to this point.
6) Now put everything back and try start the engine. This time it will broom 100% chances whenever you start the engine.

PO345 is the cam shaft positioning sensor and PO325 is the knock sensor. Check your starter and your battery.

The alternator needs replacing

rattling sounds like a busted rocker and the valves are loose. when it doesn't start on the first try or so, that sounds like a head gasket. they tend to start better when its hot because it swells some and improves compression. I had a dodge do that but it will only get worse if that's what it is. If you don't get it fixed now you'll eventually warp the heads and be looking at a head job or worse a new car cause its terribly expensive to fix the longer it goes

If after every re-adjustment the trunk close only to refuse to close after sometime, it is posible that striker is not tight enough and probably shifting after some uses. It is likely also that the threads on the bolts or screws are worn lightly. If posible try using a spring washer or some threadlocker medium strenght.

check for an air/vacuum leak in the manifold gasket area. Check that the accelerator cable/ linkage is connected properly and adjust the idle speed up to around a minimum of 750 rpm

one may be for brake light and the other for cruise control disconnect.
