you need more... what engine? 2.0 4cyl / 2.5 V6 ?

Could be a bad connection to the sensor clean and scrape to bright metal connectors. Or it needs to be replaced. It doesn't do this when dry?? Sounds like moisture problem with ignition system and wires. If so Spray liberly with WD-40. It will "dry out" wires. Inside and around distributor cap too.

Only replace the one that is not functioning. These are expensive, and should last years without needing replacement.

Probably a slipping drive band inside the transmission, or a dis-functioning torque converter.

Maybe but I believe you have a dirty or bad injector- you need to pull the engine codes for the engine light to see what it says. Any auto parts place will do that for you for free.

Sounds like its the #5 cylinder injector. But if you have to change it you better change 1-5 also. Because it will happen to the rest of them.

With A Good Scanner And/or Drive Cycles

That Will Vary, Depending Where Leak Is---Sometimes 100.00 To 500.00+

check the fluid condition/ex. full level/rose pink/red color is good if it's brown it's burning this could be from slipping/ improper cooling from hot running engine(the tranny lines go through the radiator)broken vacuum line/pressure loss dirty electrical connectors/blown switches inside the tranny/or the tranny is completely shot==this all depends on what you find if your engine has been running rough for a while your loosing vacuum inches and proper voltage and this will contribute to ruining a transmission in a short time also high heat /hot running engine == old transmission===I'm fried out === junk yard transmission=$$and a lot of work / rebuilt transmission===$$$$$ and other repairs as needed to not burn the new one out in 6 months or less good luck

check the battery

You have fusible links supply power

well you can go to the dealer all day long and have your keys cut from your vin number on the dash.and is there a chip or diode in your old keys i have an old 94 grand prix to pac my dogs in and if you dont replace the key the has a chip it will not give power to start but will power up the rest you might have to bypass this system there are videos on you tube if it was my car i would run a hot wire through a separate switch but thats not proper but you could in for a head ache if your mechanically inclined you can do this by pass it just takes patience .

A manual transmission has a safety switch at the clutch pedal arm, replace it.

Sounds like a bad headlight switch.

You have a lot of work ahead of you. Mostly taking the wiring harness apart and finding and fixing wires, What you described shouldn't happen. Yes you definetely have a short, several of them. Good luck.

Either the dash gauge is faulty, a fuel pump/sending unit is faulty, or you have an electrical wiring issue...check in this order

u need a shop book--online. library or bookstore
