There is a ten amp fuse under the bonnet for the rear wiper, mine popped the fuse during the recent cold snap. The relays all checked out.

Even when a battery test ok it may still have issues. If it's old and needs replacement just get one. Battery cells have lead plates, these shed flakes of lead off and fall to bottom of battery causing a short in the battery. This can cause all sorts of goofy issues. If that doesn't work try checking grounds for resistance, they should be very low

U have a vacuum leak causing your headache

It's right on top of the transmission next to the engine Regards Chris

Check the heater valve on the coolant lines running to the heater core. make sure that the linkage is working.

you really need to know what you are doing if doing this , as wires were cut to your starter and to your coil and to the radio when it was fitted you can damage your ECU if you get it wrong .it would be better to get a provisional to do this.doing it yourself is a bad idea if you are not sure how to do this.

Replace the Relay.

You need a special Tool Set to do that job. IPD may have a video on U-Tube.

You need a Cam Lock tool set for this otherwise you are going to be having a very difficult time with that Variable Exhaust Timing. Amazon sells the kits for about $100+ Shipping but I also advise getting the Timing Pulley Block from IPD to hold the pulleys in place while installing the belt. Do not forget to change your Cam seals at the same time. It is also a good time to reseal the Cam Cover if it is leaking.

Clean the connector or replace it.

Likely suspects include: unevenly worn brake pads unevenly worn brake discs or drums air in brake lines uneven tire wear wheels out of alignment Unless you can troubleshoot effectively and perform the needed repairs, I would take the vehicle in for service. It could end up saving you lots of time and money in unneeded parts and labor.

These car have a feature that runs the fan for a few minutes after you turn off the car to dry out any moisture in the A/C coils to prevent smells. Does the fan turn off after about 5 minutes?

This maybe caused by the actual brake callipers sticking onto the brake disks. This may happen in damp or wet conditions. There is a repairable solution where I think the callipers can be greased so that they move more freely and do not get stuck in their chambers.

ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THERE ISA PART THAT CONTROLS THE VOLUME OF AIR FLOWING THRU THE PCV SYSTEM. If is ruptured you will experience surging and many other problems related. To mixture. THIS MODEL HAS PROBLEMS with the electronic throttle control in the throttle body. Neither of these are easy fixes. If you remove thedipstick whith the engine idling and the engine begins to runrough it pcv related. If when you experience the surging you move the gear selector from D to 3 andte surging stops it is relatedto the throttle.

change the fan relay.
