Well hopefully you didn't mess any of the wiring up by trying to hot wire it. But most likely the tumblers in the lock cylinder are worn out. If you replace the ignition switch it should solve the issue.

Check for any vacuum leaks and test the battery. Make sure that the battery is good and strong. If the battery is weak,replace it.

Check the coolant level, sounds like it's low.

that is really up to you. Leaving it on presents no danger to the vehicle in any way. I rarely use mine in good weather, but if i leave it on, it's not doing any damage.

check hoses are not broke to sprayers

change the thermostat, or fill the system. If the engine light is on, and it says 'cooling system inefficiency' then you have a problem with the timing belt or water pump.

Cam sensor? or Crank sensor? I know that the generic definition of DTC P0340 is "No cam signal at PCM" however, a crank sensor can also be the cause of this code.

A cam sensor normally will not cause a no-start. I can cause a long crank time before starting. The cam sensor signal is only used to sync the fuel injectors. If there is no cam sensor signal the computer will start firing all of the injectors on every revolution of the crankshaft to get the engine running. A crank sensor, however, will cause a no-start condition because it is used to control spark. If there is no crank signal there is no spark...period.

Part of the troubleshooting chart for DTC P0340 on your vehicle includes inspection of the crank sensor and checking for the crank sensor signal at the Powertrain Control Module.

Sounds like the CV (constant velocity) axle shaft joint is bad. I would advise to get it checked as soon as possible. Dangerous to drive it like that. CV could break.

Go to any parts store and get a 9006 bulb, that is the correct one for it. that is the or close to the universal part number. Autozone, O'reilys etc. will have what you need it is a common bulb.

Check display fuse for the dash and console. The fuse may be blown that lights up the console.

I will assume a 3.2 or 3.5L. The thermostat housing is located close to the oil filter (above and to the left, about 10 o'clock).

Hope this is helpfull

Your thermostat is located below your alternator at the end of the rubber hose, the best way to remove it is from under your car and through the fender, you can also take the alternator off to help with a helper holding the part from the top. make sure you place your gasket properly and vent your system after.

Hi your thermostat is situated below the alternator at the end of the rubber hose. You will have to remove it from under the car or through the fender. It will also help to remove your alternator for more hand room from the top if you have a helper holding the part for you to screw the upper bolt. Make sure you apply the new gasket properly. Mike

Hi, I believe there is a tensioner that is situated below the alternator and have to loosen up gradualy and then you belt will come off the crank/water pump/alternator and then remove the a/c compressor belt, and also if you don't need to run your a/c or you dont want to chang the compressor you don't need that belt, your vehicule will run fine, that belt run only you a/c compressor Mike

The items you mentioned are normal wear out items and at some point on all vehicle will need to be replaced. If you decide to go with a brand new vehicle than you shouldn't have to worry about anything for a long time. If you go with a used vehicle you could be buying the problems that the previous owner didn't want to deal with. If you keep your car and fix it at least you know what you have as far as what works, what doesn't work, what needs work.

It isn't necessarily the thermostat that is bad. When the thermostat goes bad, it usually gets stuck in the open position, because it never closes, and it won't effect the cooling of the engine. Or should I sat the overheating of an engine. Your thermo is located on the engine at the end of the top hose, a dome shaped fitting, it is in there, but,, the overheating could be something else. Check the top of your radiator for oil floating on there, check to see if there is steam coming out the exhaust, keep an eye on the water level, check the coolant, and don't run it if it gets hot. A compression check will tell exactly what is going on in there, if it is a head gasket, usually what happens when a car starts to overheat. Hope this helps.

If you were to take the upper radiator hose off the engine, and look into the resultant hole, you would see the thermostat.

The thermostat on all cars blocks water leaving the engine and going to the radiator, until the thermostat warms up enough to open.

While the thermostat is closed, water circulates through the heater hose, straight back to the inlet of the water pump. This circulation prevents hot spots, distributing the heat evenly to warm the engine up, and also brings that warmed water to the thermostat.

When the t-stat gets hot enough to open, water leaves the engine instead of circulating through it, and that allows cool(ed) water to flow from the radiator through the bottom hose to replace the water that left through the upper hose and t-stat.

The stub that the upper hose attaches to on the engine should be part of a small housing that is bolted to the engine. Removing that housing is how you remove the t-stat.

the orfice tube could be bad, that is a good place to start

Sounds like you have a bad rack and pinion.
