I also have a '93 with a 2.3. I added Lucas transmission treatment (about 12 dollars) 2 years ago and it's still fine. However, it sounds like one of the clutches is worn.

The gearbox is faulty, more precisely one of the clutches is seized. To fix that the gearbox will have to be dismantled.

THERE IS A OVERDRIVE SPRAG (ONEWAY CLUTCH ) THAT IS BAD TRANS HAS TO COME OUT TO REPAIR

If this doesn't do it, see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5821173-doesnt_car_start_gasoline_engines . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me

Try getting the codes pulled at a car parts shop. Usually the computer will keep it in its history. It sounds like it is an ignition problem. If there is no stored code I would look at things in this order: spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor/coil. If none of these seem to be the problem you may have to take it to a shop. If it was just the start and idle problem I would say it is something with what I said but that high RPM thing seems strange.

YEP.

sorry, but your compressor is failing, maybe install more oil charge, but may be too late.

If it is the starter that will not turn the engine over,then the alternator is most likely not charging the battery,therefore letting it sit a while,lets the battery build back up.

i'm not sure what YOUR problem may be, but i have a '93 2.3L also. sometimes the ignition switch will work, but sometimes not. my solution was to run a hot wire from the battery to a 30 amp inline fuse, then to a momentary push-button switch, then to the hot side of the starter. not recommended as a permanent solution, just as a backup. make sure to use fairly heavy wire and switch. current should not exceed 30 amps but use wire and switch capable of carrying 30 amps and fuse just to be safe

I'm not sure but I think it is in the engine compartment. Follow the wires coming from the fan going to the relay switch. One wire is a ground and the other is power. If you have air conditioning there could be three wires for a two speed fan. Good luck.

Check the vacuum brake booster and check valve maybe there is a problem there that is amplifying the vacuum inside the booster and applying the brakes. I hope this helps, let me know.

When you say run relayed do you mean the main power relay? If so the main power relay should be next to the computer under the kick panel on the passenger side. Also the fuel pump relay is under the driver's seat. Good luck.

The only thing left is the water pump itself. Based on the problem description you need to replace the Water Pump to solve your issue.

More than likely it is going to be the switch on the drivers side door. The "master switch" if you will for all of the windows. It is possible that the ground connection came loose from the motor, or there is simply a short in the wiring. Nine times out of ten it is just a problem with the switch. Personally I have a 1995 Mustang GT and my rear drivers side window would not go down. I replaced the switch "it will have controls for all four windows" and now it works fine.

If it does not have air conditioning you can pull the heater core out through the glove compartment. But it sounds like you do have air conditioning and the bad news this is about a 3 to 5 hour job. Remove all the screws by the windshield remove the screws are bolts below the speakers that attaches the dash to the door post if it has a console remove that. The dash and console do not actually have to be removed but pulled way out of the way. In the engine compartment disconnect the aie conditioning hoses to the heater box. You will need a special tool for this that removes the round springer or pushes it back or out of way, then pull the hose loose. There's also a bolt or two that needs to be removed in this area. Also removed the glove box, you will be able to see better there's also a bolt or two holding the heater box up. Be careful not to damage any wires or vacuum hoses. Good luck.

Here are some screenshots of the switch and install/replacement/adjustment procedure. NOTE: there are two recall notices from Ford to replace this switch. It can catch on fire! Recall Numbers are: 95S28 and 96V071000. Call Ford - see if they will replace it for you at no cost. Here's the data...
