I don't think I have seen an oil drain plug that is left hand threaded, it may have been put in wrong and your thread is stripped either on the plug or the oil pan or both. Good luck

It'll be a section of wire inside the wiring harness somewhere near the device it protects. It'll be a short section of flexible wire a little smaller than the wires that it's spliced to at both ends. The idea is that if enough current flows through the wire to burn up the wire, the fusible link will burn through first, sparing the rest of the harness.

If the airbag light is on, there is a failure in the airbag circuit, and your airbag may fail to deploy in the event of an accident. There is no "reset." You will need to have your airbag system serviced.

Sounds like a bad cluster. Either that, or the Ecu has caused the malfunction. I'd put my money on the bad c instrument cluster.

Remove the brake fluid cap which contains the sensor and shake it ,a good arm swing and if its sticking then this will free it it up

Check along the exhaust pipe. Begin from the manifold area

OBD connection under dash near Steering column.. go to a auto zone or orillies and let them read the codes for you.

Go to PepBoys and get a Hanes Manual for your vehicle.It will show you srep by step thru the removal and re-installation of everything on the car.

Always take pictures before you dissassemble.

If you mean the O2 sensors, they are in the exhaust pipes before and after the catalytic converter.

As the pin is in the bracket on the end of the switch you may be able to manipulate it if you can get the key and barrel out of the bracket around the steering column. Otherwise you will have to have the bracket removed from the column and fit a new one .

I am not sure how it can be out of time when the dots * to * line up exactly on both the front and rear cam. I just dont understand how one is supposed to get the service bolt in the rear cam since it is on the bottom of the exhaust gear.

probably exaust manifold gasket leak or the doughnut gasket between manifold and exaust pipe is bad.

bad wires. or low switch or wiper guts bad. there is a low commutator brush on motor. id smack the motor hard see if it wakes up, and wire, check them. at the motor. or switch.

coil

egr valve

which fuse control the panel lights also when in drive the light that should show drive in the dash does not light up it lights up for all the other gear lastly the odometer can be read during the day time but at night you cannot read it the panel does not lit up

It depends on which system you have, there sometimes a BOSE CD Changer inside the Trunk, mounted UP under the read horizontal.On some radio's, they are internally... so you just eject each one.

your fuel pump has failed, probably.

Is the rattling sound coming from the exhaust? I'm wondering if perhaps you have a loose catalytic converter. P0300 (multiple cylinder misfires) and P0306 (cylinder #6 misfire detected) are probably the cause as to why the car is sluggish, shakes, runs rough and lacks power. Make sure to take a close look at your ignition system (spark plugs, ignition wires, coils...). A spray bottle filled with soapy water can help you find voltage leaks on the wires and coils. Just spray the wires and coils and look for arcing. Replace any component that arcs. Other causes can be fuel injectors, vacuum leaks...).
