Here is a general video on checking your blower motor. Sometimes the brushes will get stuck and it you tap on the motor and if it starts then you know the motor will need replaced. There is a fuse, a relay, and a resistor grid in all applications. Normally, an auto shop or a dealer can give you a concise schematic for your specific vehicle. Good luck on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vmfxYg8LoY&t=94s

Check the trans & motor mounts

Either under or side of dash when you open drivers door or under the hood.

check ball joints and tie rods also very bad chock absorber and tables can be hazardous

Remove the wiper arms completely. Turn on the wiper motor and then turn it off again, allowing it to park automatically. Now put the wiper arms back so that the blades just touch the bottom edge of the windscreen, or wherever the correct position is. Tighten the nuts Have fun!

You'll need to figure out if you lost spark to the plugs or fuel when it stopped running.

Check the wiring loom sounds like the insulation has broken down or it could be a rat or mouse has taken a liking to your car and the wiring ,but i am no doubt wrong in this case but check anyway as ?? you never know

its not reading the coil pack. could be a faulty coil pack or a fault with the wires from the ecu to the coil pack. if coil pack is cracked any were on it it will need to be replaced.

Two things first the belt might be too old and stretched and need replacement or 2 the tension pulley on the engine may be bad and need to be replaced/ tightened

the fuel rail is located under the intake plenum

If it is cranking then it is turning over. If you mean that it is not starting then Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as non-genuine replacement are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units. This results in the fault codes not cancelling out.

A fuel rail, technically known as a common rail, is essentially a pipe (usually resembling a rail) used to deliver fuel to individual fuel injectors on internal combustion engines. It is designed to have a pocket or seat for each injector as well as an inlet for a fuel supply. Some fuel rails also incorporate an attached fuel pressure regulator. Fuel rails are used on engines with multi-point fuel injection systems, although some multi-point systems use a fuel distributor with individual pipes or tubes to feed each injector.

Could be a problem with the gauge in the instrument cluster, or the wiring that goes back to the tank, or the sending unit in the tank.The sending unit has a float much like your toilet which could stick or fail to move.

Here's a link to the heater core.

are there any codes? it is a shift solenoid in the transmission

Drive Belts

INSPECTION See Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Check the condition and tension of all drive belts every 12,000 miles, or at least once a year. Loose drive belts can lead to poor engine cooling and diminished alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, or emission air pump output. A belt that is too tight places a strain on the bearings in the driven component.

Fig. Fig. 1: There are typically 3 types of accessory drive belts found on vehicles today

Fig. Fig. 2: An example of a healthy drive belt

Fig. Fig. 3: Deep cracks in this belt will cause flex, building up heat that will eventually lead to belt failure

Fig. Fig. 4: The cover of this belt is worn, exposing the critical reinforcing cords to excessive wear

Fig. Fig. 5: Installing too wide a belt can result in serious belt wear and/or breakage Replace any drive belt that is glazed, worn, cracked, or stretched to the point where correct adjustment tension is impossible. If two belts are used to drive a component, always replace both belts when replacement is necessary. After installing a new belt, run the engine for ten minutes, shut OFF the engine and recheck the belt tension. Readjust if necessary.

ADJUSTMENT See Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

Fig. Fig. 6: Engine belt tension chart-2.2L engines

Fig. Fig. 7: Engine belt tension chart-1987-89 2.5L engines

Fig. Fig. 8: Engine belt tension chart-2.6L engines

Fig. Fig. 9: Engine belt tension chart-1990-93 models

Fig. Fig. 10: Engine belt tension chart-1994-95 models Two popular methods of checking drive belt adjustment are; the Belt Tension Gauge Method and the Belt Deflection Method. The former requires a special gauge and the latter requires a straight edge and scale or just a good eye for measurement. The deflection method will be used in the following belt replacement instructions. A rule of thumb for checking belt tension by the deflection method is to determine the midpoint between two pulleys of the drive belt and press down at that point with moderate thumb pressure. The belt should deflect to the measurement indicated in the following installation procedures. Adjustment is necessary if the belt is either too loose or too tight. WARNING A belt adjustment which is either too loose or too tight will eventually damage the accessory that belt is driving. A too loose adjustment allows free-play in the belt which could transfer a whipping motion or shock to the accessory drive pulley. Similarly, a belt which is too tight will preload the accessory bearings, leading to early failure.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION See Figure 11 Raise the front of the vehicle, support on jackstands and remove the lower splash shield if access is hampered due to space limitations when changing drive belts.

Depends on why the brakes are not working. The only reason you would have to bleed brakes is if air got into the brake lines and the only way air can get into the brake lines is if the master cyl went dry, which means you have a leak somewhere or someone made a repair and removed a line, which will allow air to enter the system. Other than that the brakes could be severly worn.

They are flexible rubber brake hosesIf you try an auto parts store, they will help youIf they can't get the parts, because of a junction blockor brass T-fitting in the hose assy,then a dealer can get itI would do the front also,if the rear blew out
