PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS!!!!!

I just bought this car, less than a month ago. First, it began to sputter on highways, when I was going uphills, slowing down, basically whenever it feels like it. Then, all of a sudden, there is a light on the right top corner of the dash in red that looks like this on... (BRAKE)(!) All in Red. Also, the check engine light just went on. I feel like this is just going to be a disaster but if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it as quick and cheap as possible, so I can get rid of it I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Stephanie

Check engine light on ? Have the codes read at a parts store , they do it for free , and they will suggest a part for you to buy . This may or may not fix the problem . Your best bet , take it to a ASE certified repair shop !

You need to have the front end inspected for damaged steering components. Check your Tie Rod ends, A frame bushings and ball joints to make sure there isn't excessive wear or lose connections. If all of that is in good working order Drive down the road with a friend in the next lane over and have them look to see if either wheel in bouncing. If either wheel is bouncing you need to replace the struts. they are replaced in pairs, both sides. The front end will need to be aligned after you do this.

Clogged fuel filters can cause these symtoms. restrict the flow of fuel. this could cause a lean 02 code.

Car issues

Par for the course.
there are no 1995 reliable cars. none.
well, unless you make one your self.
With cars, you have 2 choices:
1: make the parts guy rich and me the mech.
2: or the dealers fat commission checks every 3 years.
Id go #1, every time...

many parts on the car give out at 100k and the engine at 300k;
this is called entropy (v2) its 18 years old
i bet the VSS blew out 100k miles ago and is really 234k,
maybe. on many cars i restore, at 18yo ,its on its 3rd speedo cluster..
cheap speedometer guts, dont last on rice burners...
The car will need brakes,belts and fluids its whole life, (see operators guide)


yo said it wont go go at all,
but you failed to say
was it the engine power limited,
or
the transmission wont shift up.? called stuck in 1st or 2nd gear
or the tranny slips. the RPM goes very high and you dont go that is a bad trannsmission. A/T?

check the fuel pump as well to see if you are getting the right amount of fuel if not the pump itself may run about 20 dollars or so , check timing as well just to see if your off if you have an advance on the distributor and if you go over 40 if it pops back up its the advance {had that problem once before }
