run fault codes .check for faulty EGR valve

Wrong amp fuse or maybe you have a loose wire or a short somewherecausing the fuse to burn out?

Typically this is due to a vacuum leak. (Yes, it could be tons of other things like the timing, fuel flow, etc. - but let's cover the easy stuff first). There's enough power to keep the engine running, but once in gear the resistance of the torque converter kills the engine. There are numerous little black hoses under the hood - about soda straw thickness. Look for any that have become disconnected or are brittle and may have broken. You can also light an incense stick and pass it all over the area above the engine while it is idling, looking for anywhere that either sucks in smoke or blows against it. When you find a disconnected hose, try to find a nipple to push it back on to. You may also find a nipple or hole on the engine that is sucking in the incense smoke, but can't find a hose to attach to it. Just clean off the metal as well as you can and put a piece of black electrical tape over it and see if that makes the engine run better.

sounds like axle bearings to me...its front wheel drive so theres no differential in the rear, and it could be the brakes but not likely. check the bearings or make sure nothing is rubbing back there either

not sure how low ur talking, but is your chk engine light on? Try some new plugs, and an oil change too. If the chk eng lite is on more likely the knock sensor is shot and its hard to get to. But also try some good gas and not cheap stuff either....make sure ur parking brake isnt on too...it happens.

sounds crazy but a locksmith showed me this trick. Open the trunk and remove the pretty cover under the lid so you have access to the trunk lock, there are two wires leading to the alarm for the trunk. pull that off and away from the lock mechanism and once you do that wave a magnet over the flat steel part of it. It will reset your alarm...

It sounds like there is a vacuum hose leak or break and is causing a lean condition in the engine. it can make it idle fast. I dont think the signal problem is related.

Could be the blower motor resistor - they have a tendency to burn out. Symptoms are losing one or more speeds on the blower fan. It's an easy replacement, the resistor is accessible under the dash.

tensioner for what?

Timing is off.

You can't use a lamp flash out code on this year, you need a scan tool.

Sounds like the anti-theft system has been activated. The horn would normally blow in conjunction with the flashing lights.

No it will not

I suspect you may not have enough fuel pressure.Fuel injection requires very high pressure to start car and by pumping the gas pedal the car is flooding itself and that let's it start.

check the wiring for a dislodged wiring connector to the gear box. It will be that the torque converter clutch is not working from a lack of communication with the CPU and the TCM

No are you putting cheap gas in it if its not premium it will run badly
