Your car should have an electric choke set-up from the factory. The computer sends a signal to the coil inside the choke cover and turns it on and off over a specific time period. The coil inside the choke cover could be bad or the wire coming to it. If I remember right, there was an odd shaped plug-in for the choke and it caused problems. It was only available at the dealer. The computer would take it's signal from a temp sensor so that could be bad too.If it was my car, I'd go to the auto parts store and pick up a kit ($20) to convert it to a manual choke, cheaper and easier than playing with that electric contraption. Hope this helps.

you could go to a library and see if they have a book for this year and model of car as it will have the vacume hose routing diagram in it,

Look at the center of your distributor. There will either be a wire which looks like a spark plug wire or there will be a plastic cap held on by small bolts. If you have a wire follow it baqck. It plugs directly into the coil. If you have the plastic cap, the coil is under the cap. If you need to replace it. pay close attention to how it comes apart,lay things out in the order they come off. There are spacers and insulators that need to go back in the same spot for it to work. Hope this helps.

Go to auto parts stoer and have them scan the computer for codes. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2496c4f07ad24453

Hi, the turn signal flasher is (or was when it was a Chevette, not a Mercedes!) located on the driver side under the dash, near the fuse panel, taped to the dash wiring harness. Hope this helps.

Lifters tick. Rod bearings knock(typically the harder you mash the gas, the louder the knock). poor quality gas can do it if you need a tune-up.

Take a sparkwire,put it in the coil and a sparkplug at the other end,ground the sparkplug and crank.

you probably have bad timing my friend, check your base timing w/ a timing light, you might need to disconnect the main wire harness to your ecu.
pull a spark plug wire and ground to body and see if your getting spark first..
let me know..

It may have a vacuum leak, and /or a dirty carburator that may need to be overhauled.

Try taking penatrating oil (PB Blaster is my favorite). Squirt a good amount into the lock cylinder and then run the key in and out of the lock cylinder a good many times. Repeat this process a few times and the lock should free up and you should be able to turn the key inside the lock cylinder.
