Hi! Do you mean that when you push the door to close it won't engage? If this is the case, please get a philips screw driver and slide it to the door grabber to rotate. It may be stuck causing it not to engage on the door striker. Hope this helps and thank you for using FIxYa!

as the headlights are double filament,have you replaced these ??

Sounds strongly like a fuel pump issue. This unit is in the tank and can be axcessed by removing the rear seat and axcess panel. Very easy to do and takes very little time.

there should be two tags either on the core support under the hood right around the radiator cap one will be the emmisions standards which will have the smog component locations and vacum lines diagramed and the other usually has the belt installation diagram one or both of these will say what size the motor is usually in really small print depending on the maker.
almost all automatic transmission shift by the use of vacum. if you have a broken ,loose ,or disconnected vacum line that is bleeding off vacum when it shouldnt be. then when you ingauge the vacum cylider on the transmission and have the brake pedal depressed the vacum is being depleted to the point that proper air fuel ratios are not being attained and the car dies. vacum is a very necassary part of the volumetric efficency of your motor and is required in order for the motor to run. check the vacum lines for splitting cracking and being disconnected. exspecially around the regular service points oil filler cap trans dip stick ect. this is where you'll usually find one to be damaged or dislodged.

Not really, as long as the 75 series battery fits, and has the proper amount of cold cranking amps. Make sure the hood won't hit the hood when closed, if battery is tall than the other.

Will probably be the MAF sensor or the Lamda sensor. Is there a lack of power on acceleration?

To make sure, first bleed the master and slave cylinder of the clutch. If you find this O.K, then you have to save some money for a new clutch in the near future.

Obviously it's broken from motor nothing but junk yard can't fix.

possibly the starter check to see if you have power going to the starter,if so replace,if not check fuses and realy.











TIM..................

you dont ,you will need special spring clamps to compress the coil springs and a safety cage if they slip its like you could lose your head or hand

Thats your check engine light.
Depending on the problem it could be a "no BiG deal" or a real BIG deal.
go to autozone and they can check to see what the error codes are that may help identify the problem.

Good Luck

no charge if i have the right code generator programme ,or look on altavista for a code generating programme or sourceforge.net

re the funny smell, i need to speak to my friend as i have never heard of that one,does it smell of rotten eggs???

Electric motor has either failed or has a short in the wiring. You either need to locate the wiring and try hooking a hotwire to the positive (be careful and don't do if you're unsure) and try to close or you need to detach the controller from the sunroof and manually push down but will be loose. Best to get a professional to fix or your going to have major leak issues.

your rotors are starting to warp
