Better get a mechanic to check it out before you drive it very much. Could be a lifter or piston pin with no oil.

NO! The Freon level doesn't affect blower motor. You just won't get cool air. Check the fuse or relay.

Unfortunately there is no easy fix for your problem. You must remove the engine assembly to access the rear main seal. To remove the engine you must drop the engine, trans, suspension, cradle assembly. Then separate the engine from the trans to get to the seal. Then put is all back together. The book gives over 40 hours for this job.

Change the fuel filter first...while changing it see if gas comes out of the tubes. If there is no gas there, the fuel pump is shot, if there is, the injectors are clogged...change them out.

The pump relay is grounded by the computer.The actual pump is grounded thru the harness coming out of the tank.The computer grounds the pump relay for three seconds when the engine is cranked and more if it sees oil pressure or RPM.If the engine does not start, the relay gets no ground signal.

If you have more than 100,000 miles, go for the High Mileage oil. If has the additives you need. I suggest you buy an oil filter tool while at the store to make sure you get the right size. Jack the front of your eldo on the passenger side or drive the car up on ramps. Make sure it is secure. Open the hood and remove the oil filler cap. Crawl under the car and take your 14MM or 15mm socket and ratchet, your new oil filter and filter tool with you. Remove the oil drain plug located on the rear of the oil pan. Make sure you catch the oil in a drain pan to be disposed of properly. The oil filter is located underneath on the front of the engine. After the oil has drained completely from the oil pan, replace the drain plug. Make sure it is tight but be careful not to over tighten. Remove the oil filter. Hint: take a plastic bag you used to bring the supplies home to help capture the old filter and the oil that is prone to spill. Dip a finger in the old oil and lubicate the rubber o-ring attached to the top of the NEW oil filter. This helps the filter to seat and to be tightened properly. Hand Tighten the new filter in place and wipe up any spills. Remove the old oil, filter, and tools and exit to the top side. Using a funnel, pour five quarts of oil into the oil openning. Remove and wipe the end of the dip stick and reinsert into the dipstick tube. Remove the dipstick and read the level. It should be just under a quart low. Replace the oil cap and the dipstick. Lower the vehicle to it's normal position. If you had the car on ramps, you'll have to start the engine to get it down. At any rate once the car is lowered, start the engine and check for leaks underneath.If you have leaks, you'll need to tighten or repair the cause of the leak. If there are no leaks, shut off the engine and remove the dipstick to re-check the oil level. You will probably need to add the sixth quart to get the crankcase full. DO NOT OVER FILL.
