It's likely either the distributor or the starter.

hi. see if it as a relay in the circuit. most car lighting these day have relays. mines got loads. good luck

Not a fuse when a fuse is bad there is no intermittent function at all most likely a bad relay either starter or ignition unfortunately relays cannot be tested you just have to replace them and see if it fixes the problem relays are located in fuse boxes. If replacing the relays doesn't work then the starter solenoid is bad. Be sure to check all battery wires for tightness or corrosion, mainly the ground (black wire) there should be a ground to the body from the battery and the engine block good luck hope this helps

Try starting it with the shift lever in neutral, if it starts, the transmission switch is bad (automatics), or with the key to start position move the shift lever thru the range of gears. If a stick shift and the clutch pedal must be pressed down, the clutch switch may be going out if intermittent starts

I'd try replacing the temperature sender in the engine block.

43 is starter no signal. and 71 EGR signal to low

sparkplugs, air filter change and oil change.

pretty simple, took me about an hour to do everything.

facing the pulley, it's a normal right hand tread, RHT. right tighty , lefty loosey. CCW = loose. CW = tighter. left hand bolts are rare on cars. my VW has LHT axle bolt.

no engine stated (which one?)_ 2.0L 16valve? you didnt do sparks 1 by one, and mangled the firing order.bad boy, or set the spark gap wrong, or used china junk rotors, that index 3 ways, or all the above. when working old dizzycars. (dizzy at flywheel end of CAM)1: mark the cap for #1, follow the #1 cylinder spark wire to capmark the cap, post as #1 or be very angry soon,,,, i promise./2 : the replace wires 1 by1 , if not , it will never run.3: also know dizzy rotor direction, crank and lookCCW or CW.? write it down. for later.firing order is 1,3,4,2. in the direction in above line.3if you need to start from scratch we can. the FSM covers that. so does alldata.com

???? don"t Know yet ?? Where is the filter ha / In or outside the tank????

2 things to check. Do a fuel pressure check. It will tell you if the pump is working. Take off the fuel cap and have another turn the key to the on position, but not start. You should be able to hear a humming sound coming from the pump. If you hear this, start by changing the fuel filter. If you do not hear the humming sound at the cap, time to replace the fuel pump.

My first kneejerk guess would be that you have a blown head gasket. Cross-contamination of the oil and coolant is the clue here. If the engine has ever overheated (Temp light comes on) then that would be the likely cause. Expensive repair unless you're mechanically inclined

Vacuum advance on the distributor or the springs inside the distributor could be weak.

PROBLEM TROUBLE AREA Rough idle, stalls or hesitate on acceleration : .Spark plug faulty . High-tension cords faulty Ignition problems: • Ignition coil • Igniter • Distributor . Incorrect ignition timing Vacuum leaks: . PCV valve and line.. . . EGR line.. . Intake manifold. • Throttle body • ISC valve • Brake booster line • Throttle body • Brake booster line . Incorrect idle speed . Reset timing . Adjust valve clearance . Check fuel system . Check air cleaner . Incorrect valve clearance . EFI system problems . Low compression

-Is the battery full...?-Possibly the CCA is too low...?Good LuckMai

Check the fuses, then the bulbs.

You have two wires going to the horn? Just plug them into the horn. If the horn still doesnt work switch them around.

does the horn have two wires to it or one wire?? check the earth

brake light assembly the wires are frail try changing lights get at junk yard cheap fix
