Check engine light is faulty or that the engine computer has run a diagnostic check and one of the systems failed. You can use the diagnostic tool http://www.xcardiag.com/search/?q=+code+p0650 hope it can help you.

Hi Colin, I suggest a diagnostic scan. It seems to me that you have a internal failure with one or more sensor or other problems with the ABSystem. Regards John

The top portion of the timing belt cover is removable so you can inspect the belt. You should be able to remove 2 or 4 10mm head bolts ant take the top of the cover off.

If you do not find fuel pressure on scan tool data, you hook up a gauge to the fuel rail There may be a few vehicles you have to remove a fuel line to use an adapter We have nothing here,everyone is at home like you Google-- the test procedure

ALL TROUBLE CODES MUST BE CLEARED FROM ECM. OR THEY WILL KEEP APPEARING. A PARTS STORE CAN DO THIS, WITH U PUSHING THE CLEAR BUTTON, IF THEY WON'T.

Tune-up time, Robin. No push-button answer here sorry.

Release hand brake. Pull it again. While feeling for the normal tension have an assistant listen at the rear wheels to see if the brakes are moving and releasing when you release the hand brake. Possible causes: -binding or stuck cable -broken parking brake handle ratchet mechanism -seized calipers, or if drum brakes faulty drum brake hardware/springs

are you sure timing belt not missing some teeth or nuchets i would turn it by hand to see if the timing marks line up sounds like i said before to the same question timing belt jumped causing valve damaged they all do this to rebuild head and valves is as exspensive as a used one from the scrap so check the price for a head assembly or rebuild you old one and a scrap head price as well

sounds like the tbelt jumpped and bent some valves or overheated and warped the head to really find out you have to remove the head and send it to a shop for testing other than put a camera down in the cylinders and check for valve damaged but its hard to see i would go for the head removal i am sure the timing belt jumped and damaged valves were the spark plugs ok or broken off

Check the cable to ensure it hasn't been stretched. Does it have tension on it when you release it? It should have. A stretched cable will often engage the parking brake, but not release it. This is due to the condition of your hardware in the drum itself. I recommend removing the brake components and either replacing them, or cleaning and greasing them to restore proper function. Check for cracked/broken springs and worn surfaces of course. Sometimes the hangers and mounts for the cable break off or become loose. Inspect those for rust/corrosion. Please remember to use wheel chocks and safety stands when under a vehicle.

Parking brake cables are broken, rusted or frayed. You need to replace this cables. Driving around like that will cause the rear brakes to overheat causing probably damage to rear brakes and bearings.

The handbrake cable is either broke or out of adjustment. If you have not driven the car in a while there could be rust build-up in the drums.

It's behind the grill, in front of the radiator.

Sounds like it's either a coil pack or an injector to me, try switching the number four coil pack with any of the other coil packs if the miss follows the coil pack you need to replace that coil pack. if not it's either a fuel injector or a mechanical problem inside the motor, I would rent noid lights from a local auto parts store and look for injector pulse in the cylinder with a misfire, if the noid light is flashing it may be better to leave it to a professional as it is likely internal engine damage. hope that helps. chris

may have to replace the transmission shift solenoids. Some google searching will give you the best idea on what you are looking at. Those parts are always cheaper on ebay. (thats where I get mine)

Some vehichles have a warning bell for turn signals being left on, trunk lids left open or seat belt sensor could be un-plugged. Think outside the box, you may find it. Good luck:)
