while cranking the engine over if the motor sounds like there is no compression and spins over easily, chances are good the timing belt is broken. some engines are interference engines meaning that if the belt breaks the valves could hit the pistons causing engine damage. the way to check this out is after a new timing belt is installed correctly do a compression check on it to see if the compression is correct.

Have a shop with a data base, to look up the diagnostic test procedure & find the problem That should be every answer on this site, unless you work on your own vehicles & provide what your doing testing wise

And you continue to use the vehicle, even though you know you have an overheating issues? So you know what to do Stop using it or ruin the motor & cooling system Take to a repair shop to have the problem diagnosed IF -- you had factory service manuals or vehicle experience, you wouldn't be here,or you would provide us with some technical info of what you tested so far & how. We have no data here or system strategy for your fans We are at home,like you, nothing to do with Fix Ya chat site

Switch to premium to see if that is a temp fix. Then run a full strength fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank.

Your water temp sensor might be out of specs that means it sense only certain temperature to start your fan it is like a termoshtat

First check fuel pressure with engine cold, and hot at engine side of fuel filter. There shouldn't be any difference. If you get a significant pressure drop after running engine until warmed up, replace fuel filter and check results again. If that still doesn't help your fuel pump might be on the blink. This is assuming your car is in good tune(plugs,wires).

that will be a problem ,as the distributer is turned by the cam shaft internal to the engine rocker case .remove the distributer marking the exact position it is fitted, and look to see if there is any sort of sheared metal ,ie a key way ,on the underside keepme posted if you wish

have you timing belt checked

hose leak should be visible upon inspection. Your local auto parts store will have the size if you tell them vehicle make, year, and model and engine size. You will need engine coolant as well to refill radiator.

start your car up and stand out side the car with it running and gentle push or pull on each door and see if the light on the dash goes out or comes on and you should be able to locate which door is the problem one and then we can go further.
Let me know

The TPS is self-calibrating once it is plugged in. Remove one battery cable to clear any codes from the Quest and then put it back on after 1 minute. The TPS should work fine after.

you may have a problem with the heater core flap that allows coolant into the core. seems like there is just not enougg coolant going through the core. check to make sure the heat/cool selector is working properly.

check to make sure your cooling fan isn't running constantly, also if your temp gauge says the engine is hot but the heat isn't you have a flow problem. maybe water pump or a clogged/ crimped hose. if your gauge isn't very hot then put some cardboard infront of the grill.

Without a play with my test light i couldnt tell you ,normally the side lights use a fuse one for each side so i would suspect that you could have a multiplug problem or a problem with the fuse board connection somewhere ,i would be inclined to jump the fuse board and run a new wire direct from the switch to the front lights
