Hi, found a site called TeamCapri.com they have step by step directions with diagrams that are printable. That should help you. The section is called removing and replacing the Timing Belt.
Take care

drain fluid, disconnect battery neg., remove shifter assem from top, remove driveshaft, support trans and remove crossmember, remove trans housing bolts, remove starter, remove trans. This is basic removal. Be very carefull to suport properly!

There is a bolt that connects the shifter to the connecting rod that goes to the transmission. There is supposed to be a bushing that goes over the bolt to cushion the connection between the two but over time it wears out. All I did was to remove the bolt and slide a bit of fuel line over it as I slid the bolt back into place. I made the line large enough to fit snugly and when I tightened the bolt the place in the connection was tightened. The hose must be thin enough to fit into the connecting rod and it must have enough of an inner dimension hole so that the bolt can go into it. Good luck.

The ignition switch is bad,replace it to solve the problem,if this was at all helpful,please rate,thank you/

You unscrew the speedometer cable where it goes into the manual transmission and add fluid to the mark.

I myself would go for the pressure sensor, should be located either on the side of the block or on the side of the side of the oil pan. If you're concerned about the reading, the aftermarket sensors you mentioned should work just fine.

You'll need a philips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, and a 12mm open end wrench. Buy a new thermostat and gasket from your local auto parts store. Used the philips screwdriver to loosen the hose clamps from both ends of the air intake. Remove the air intake and set aside so you have room to get to the thermostat housing. Make sure you have a drip pan under the car to catch any spilled coolant. Follow the top radiator hose on the right hand side down to where it connects to the engine. Use the flat head screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp and remove the end of the radiator hose attached to the thermostat housing. You can lift the open end of the hose up and off to the side so it doesn't leak coolant. There is a bolt on the top of the thermostat housing and a nut on the bottom towards the back. Use your 12mm wrench to remove the nut from the bottom of the housing and the bolt from the top. Once you have removed the bolt and the nut, you can remove the thermostat housing. Remove the old thermostat and the old gasket. Clean up the surfaces of the housing making sure there are no remnants of the old gasket. Put the new thermostat in place. Install the new gasket (some have adhesive on them to hold them in place during installation. If yours doesn't, you can use a little bit of grease or gasket adhesive). Reinstall the thermostat housing. Replace the bottom nut and the top bolt. Reattach the radiator hose to the thermostat housing and tighten the hose clamp. Replace the air intake and tighten the hose clamps. Fill your radiator with 50/50 mix of water and anti-freeze. Start the car and turn on the heater. Let it run to clear any air from the system. Later, when the car has had time to cool down, check the coolant level and fill as necessary. Cost: Thermostat $4.99, Gasket $.99. Time invested: about 1 hour.

Your car looks like a Ford Capri engineered in Australia from a Mazda 323. These are quite common in New Zealand and Australia . Unfortunately they came out at the same time as the MX5 and didn't sell well.
Do a search on Google images for Ford Capri to see if they are the same. If they are parts are readily available ex Mazda

Your solution is possible; €if you dont discover exactly the point where is the short, you need re-wire the system for each windows motor.

The wiring diagrams will can find in autozone.com (free register).

Hope help with this (remember rated this help).

Solved most of this myself. Changed ING. module which solved spark problem. The injectors still would not function, help came from JUSTANSWERS by idenifying a relay tucked between the left headlight motor and the coolant recovery canister. Like the IGN. module, this relays not cheap. I found a $5 dollar used replacement from a self-pull wrecking yard from it's sister car, a 1988 mazda 323.

ok, once more in some form of the english language......... pretty please?

inside your fuel tank

tjey might had not fitted light properly or the motor is not working of headligt or check wire of motor.

change your throttle it sticks

The cooling fan bolts to it and the upper radiator hose will lead you near it.Also the hoses going to the heater core come out of it.
