I would get another 3100 because there is noway you want to try swapping them. It won't work. A used 3100 isn't that high any more.

All most all of the chain auto parts stores will do a free scan and read your faults.

It is located close to the steering wheel under the dash.

The power steering pump is dead center on the top of the motor. If your standing on the passenger side the water pump is the next pulley to the right. The serpentine belt will go over the power steering pulley, under the water pump pulley, and then around the a/c compressor.

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET LOCATED BETWEEN CYLINDER HEAD AND CYLINDER BLOCK.YOU CAN GO TO ANY AUTO PARTS STORE BUY A CHILTON OR HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.IT WILL HAVE PHOTOS WITH HEAD GASKET.

it calls for 5W-30 but in those temps, assuming you have a fair amount of miles, use 10W-40 or if you can find it, 5W-50-unless your's is a leaker, use full synthetic too, it is MUCH better for your engine and it can go much longer (over 5000 miles) between changes with no issues.

Just go to your parts store and tell them what year, engine size etc and they will have a listing either on a computer or in a book. After you get the belt, keep the old one and the sleeve the new one came in. Use old one as emergency spare and the sleeve for a reference to buy a new one in the future.

your filter is bad if it is not letting enenuf gas by. usually it is recomended to replace it after so many miles.

you need to replace the serpentine belt it is worn.

Check the power steering fluid, have a helper turn the wheel and look under the hood and see if the power steering pump is making noise, check the P/S belt to make sure it's tight.
