get vented gas cap

That depends on which engine you have. On v8 engines you need to put a wrench on the tensioner pulley and pull it over. On six cyl and four cyl engines there is an adjustment bolt on the power steering pump. Loosen the pump slide bolts and turn the adjustment bolt that moves the pump in and out of adjustment. (bolt runs under the pump...long threaded rod with a bolt head)

after you take the oil filter off, theres a threaded sleeve with a nut on it, turn it left. there will be a large o ring seal behind it.

some times ...even if you buy new wires ...it will still not run properly ....try and spray water on your wires at night with a trouble light ..to see if any spark is jumping ....if it is ..the wire that is jumping has a problem.... just because they are new doesn't mean they are good ...have had it happen to me ...i always buy life time wires ...more expensive ..but less headaches .....good luck ...

Those have coil spring suspension at all four corners. If the springs are weak it can give you a bit more body roll than you'd like to see. Make sure you have four good quality shocks as well. In extreme cases you may want to install the police version of the sway bars on there which are generally larger in diameter and offer more roll resistance as well.

would advise garage repair as dash needs to be removed because evaporator located in heater box located behind dash

six cylinder engine is; 1-5-3-6-2-4 and v8 is; 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 number 1 plug is on drivers side in front of engine. right front, faceing engine.

its probably antifreeze if its green must have a small leak

replace the blower motor relay,it should be near the blower motor

Check all your fuses before doing anything else. If all your fuses are good and the problem still exists then we need to check your bulbs. In some vehicles one burnt bulb can disable the other lights running on that same wiring. Just like flipping a light switch off. If all your bulbs are good then it is surley a wiring malfunction and then the real fun begins. We might have to go into that later if nothing I listed here does the trick. I hope this helps you, The Raz

I would change the thermostat and put a lower temp.one in there so for example if you have a 195 degree one in there go to like a 170 or 180 so your thermastat opens sooner and it shouldn't overheat and also check the timing cause if the timing is off a little under a load it could overheat.

It's likely you have a loose connection or a bad switch. I recomend haveing a mechanic look at it unless you are experianced with automotive electric systems. These sort of problems tend to be a nightmare for the "doityourselfer".

Short somewhere or go in dash and make sure plugs are pluged in Cluster Panal or where fuse keep blowing put a piece of there where ever the short is you should smoke.

Your water pump is starting to seize up. Today's modern serpentine belts don't just slip. Your water pump is dragging. Which is causing the noise and the temperature increase. Get it fixed and you will notice better gas mileage. If you continue to run it like that be sure to keep your eye on the temperature gauge. One overheat or close call has the potential to do big damage to an engine of that age.

coolant temp sensor is probably bad but make sure that the water level is above the sensor if not it will trip the light.

Sounds like a locked up caliper. To be sure, have a local shop do a brake inspection.
