It has to go up. The rubber at the top wraps around the top of the door, and is held by clips.

pull spark plugs and check how they are burning. See if one looks worse. Check to be sure you have spark from all 4 spark plug wires. May need a plug, new wires or distributor cap.

www.techcaori.com Has the whole capri manual that you can view using adobe reader.

If this is a dura spark type system, replace spark control module.

try connecting the wires on the sensor together to see if it is faulty. if the fan kicks in then it is.
It is normally on the radiator or the thermostat housing.
If you are unsure what it looks like, it's a bolt head with 2 wires attatched, bridge the wires with a screw driver with the ignition on, if the fan kicks in then the sesnsor is faulty.
