now it sounds like your head gasket. pull your oil dipstick and check for signs of coolant in the oil. if possible do a compression test on the motor, its the best way to check for a blown head gasket.

here are the specs for the spark plugs, just in case.







----------------------------------

fuel pressure: 47-52psi

compression: minimum - 135psi
max variation between cylinders: 28psi

i would start by checking the spark plugs

check the shift cables where they connect to the tranny. will the car move in 2nd gear or reverse?

sounds to me like a starter issue. when the starter click andd it doesnt come popping out , usually its bad and has seized. as for you problem with the lights , that sounds like corroded grounds not giving a good pathway for the electricity . of course when you accelerate the alternator gives more power making it bright also the vibration is moving the connection around.

O2 sensor heater code. Replace sensor.

It should be the globe itself, the fuse will control many other things and if theyre not out it should just be the globe or possibly the switch that turns it on, check globe first.

sounds like the autoshutoff relay may be bad..it controls the ingition and the fuel pump too..if the pump works check for spark by inserting a screwdriver into a pulled off spark plug wire and look for a decent spark between the screwdriver shaft and any ground like the block..if no spark the relay may not be powering up the ignition system..

post the symptoms. (no start but cranks fine?) what? the relay only closes cranking. and may not if no spark, spark is first, after fuse checks. it (relay) is only a question, if? 1: fuel pressure is zero. 2: pump is silent while cranking. if you have spark on all cylinders and the fuel pressure is zero cranking or the pump has 0v not 12v cranking then we can show you where the relay is. or go to alldata.com and see it for self. some are in the fuse panel.... (im too lazy to look it up now)
