Sounds like the park switch inside the wiper motor is faulty. The switch should cut power when the wipers "park".

You posting is slightly confusing but I gather your windshield wipers stopped working.
The repair method is as follows;
) Check the fuse.
) Check the wiper motor. Turn the wipers on and listen for the hum of the motor.

If you hear the hum then the linkage has probably come loose. You will have to take the covers off
to get to the linkage for the wiper. You can either repair the parts, get salvage yard parts or replace with new part$.

If you do not hear the motor hum then you should verify electricity is getting to the motor. A simple
voltmeter can be used. If the motor is bad you can replace it. Call some auto supply stores for after-market motors or call salvage yards for parts.

maybe map sensor,clogged cataylitic converter,clogged air filter.

you might want to check for corrosion or broken wireat sending unit plug

yep go to auto parts store they should have some shift bushings.

shop around at the junkyard for new pieces, i don't think you can get them at the dealer anymore, you can also check in the help section at the auto parts store.

Depending on how old fuel pump is, and quite often you will notice the buzzing/humming of pump at rear of car getting noisier. If vehicle re-starts after sitting 20-30 minutes and drives for a while again before same happens, I would certainly consider having fuel pressure tested. Hard part is to get it tested when vehicle fails to start, because by the time it gets to a shop, the pump has cooled down and works for a short time again. Not uncommon for the pump to have good pressure when cool, and heat up and lose pressure when driven or been running for a while.

Look @ Autozone.com under repair then input your vehicle info ,they have lots of info free!!
Hope this helps!

Yes the possibility in such cases can be the fuel or the spark . So if you think there is a stench of the fuel supply then the fuel pump must be checked out , if a calibration is done to confirm the fuel pressure.
Also once the fuel system is cleared the spark intensity must checked, check for HT coil , wires and plugs to be working in good order.

You have antifreeze leaking into the cylinders....and when the spark ignites the fuel in the cylinder, the antifreeze is in there also giving you the smoke....

What does all this mean?

More than likely, you have a blown head gasket.....or a cracked cylinder head.

I would check the brake fluid level. It is under the hood on the drivers side up near the windshield. There will be a white/clear reservoir with a black cap(Might mention DOT3 only on it). Open that up and check the fluid level, it should be at least 1/2 full to full. (there is marks on the reservoir that show what full is).

Try to trace the white wire that leads to the o2 sensor by unwrapping the harness that is in the vicinity of the o2 sensor. Try to fiind the wire that way. That's the way an electrical shop would do it. Resplice the wires together. You've done most of the hard work. Good luck to you. T --- Oxygen (O2) Sensor OPERATION All Fuel Systems Fig. 1: A standard oxygen (O2) sensor, as shown, is used in all fuel injection system covered in this manual
Fig. 2: On non-turbocharged engines, the oxygen sensor (arrow) is mounted in the exhaust manifold
The oxygen (O2) sensor is a device which produces an electrical voltage when exposed to the oxygen present in the exhaust gases. The sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold or turbocharger outlet and is electrically heated internally for faster switching when the engine is running. When there is a large amount of oxygen present (lean mixture), the sensor produces a low voltage. When there is a lesser amount present (rich mixture) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring the oxygen content and converting it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch. The voltage is transmitted to the engine controller which changes the fuel injector's pulse width. The injector changes the mixture.
