Check for a blue snapping spark on 2 or 3 plug wires(or all of them). If you get good spark, then ignition is likely not the problem. A weak or sporadic spark could be a bad coil or coil pack, or a bad ignition module (the ignitor).Check the coils with a volt-ohmmeter per the specs for your car. The ignitor can be tested at a parts store.If spark is good, check fuel filter, fuel pressure, check timing marks on crank pulley and cam marks, Try a little starting fluid in the air intake and see if it runs for a moment. If so, then it's likely a fuel delivery problem. If no change, then it's likely an ignition circuit problem.Good luck.

it could be that the horn is faulty & needs to be replaced......cheers.

The easiest way to rule out a fuel starvation problem is to remove the rubber air tube between the throttle body and the air box, manually open the throttle body valve and spray a short burst of stating fluid into it. Quickly release the valve, and attempt to start the car. If it starts and runs briefly then you are not getting fuel.

It sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere, or a TPS (throttle position sensor) issue. I would recommend that you check the vacuum lines before you buy any parts.

This model the primary signal taken from the distributor,If the signal problem no high-tension generate. please check

If no heat from heater its likely low on coolant, and antifreeze in cab on the floor means its probably leaking from the heater core.

No. The crankshaft turns 2 times for every one turn of the camshaft. You need to watch the valves as you turn the engine over. As you near TDC the intake will be open and start to close. As you move past TDC the intake is closed and the exhaust starts to open. When the valves open and close in this order that is the correct TDC to line your distributor up with.
You will have to remove the timing belt to fix this. Simply rotate the camahaft another full turn watching as it does and you should be right. HOWEVER, if you have a zero tolerance or interference engine you will have to remove the head before you can fix this. If you don't then you will bend valves even turning it by hand. Hope this helps.

If there is enough fluid the resvoir, that means the problem is somthing else like : Built air in the clutch line,throuw out bearing is starting to get bad, or the clutch is going bad depend on when the last time you put it in.

So the first thing you have to check is : try to see if there is any air in the line and pump it out.

map quest fuse box under glove box and one under hood

You can find the fuse box, under the steering wheel. Remove the plastic cover, and look on the back for the diagram to see which fuse to replace. On the diagram you will also be able the see the amperage of that particular fuse. Usually would be around 20 AMP.

some cooling fans will then cut off when is cooled. how long after cut of does it run?

Get a good pry bar and wedge the bar between the CV shaft and where it goes into the tranny.You should be able to pop it out.If not rotate the shaft and repeat untill it lets go.It is only held in place by a round clip on the shaft inside the tranny.Be patient its been there a long time. Good Luck
