When you say you checked voltage...checked voltage to what? did you check to see if you had voltage going to the fuel pump? do you have spark coming from distributor to wire/ plugs, is the rotor ok? need to check weather your missing fuel, or spark so we know what direction to be looking at. you can try spraying ether/starting fluid in throttle body see if it will start up momentarily, that will atleast tell you weather its a fuel related problem or not.

bad wiper switch.

Hi Beverly, I believe you may have a problem with the fuel filter or fuel pump. Regards John

Take off other side drum and see how it is done

I think it's the hot water valve also, at least check it by feeling the hoses that go from the heater to the engine, If hoses are hot, then its ok. it's a sign that hot water is circulating and you should go ahead and drain the coolant and see if it's dirty, or has stop leak, and refill the radiator with fresh coolant, be sure to pour in as slow as you can. be patient now at least you changed your coolant, and no air pockets trapped in the system. go from there. if it's the hot water valve you can look it up on you tube.

most relays are on the firewall or fender wall.

Sounds like your automatic choke isn't functioning. If your car is an injection system then off to the garage I'm afraid. However if it is carbs, check that all of the cables are intact and haven't rubbed and split. The auto choke is usually a bi-metalic strip which takes different positions depending on the temp. If one end has come adrift or it has snapped then that would be the issue. Hope this helps

Your shift solenoids are mounted in the valvebody of the transmission. That particular transmission is a 4L60E in case you need to know.

There isn't one answer for this topic. The 4L60E transmission isn't a bad trani but if the fluid isn't changed on-time. Debris will accumulate inside the Valve Body and clog/restrict screens and shift solenoids. I think that you will want to first look at the fluid level and condition. Look at the repair/service history (when was the fluid and filter last changed?). If the service has bean done then send it in for repair. There may be one of several things going on inside. The fluid pressure will need to be checked. The pump will need to be tested. The valve-body may need to be dropped down and inspected for obstructions. My last suggestion would be to look at the air filter, fuel system and the exhaust. A clogged air or fuel filter will affect transmission performance. Also a restriction inside the CAT or the Muffler can affect it as well. I hope that helps. If you have more details or questions. Please let me know. Good luck.

run the fault codes and look for a TCM problem

Does it happen in drive and reverse ? Does it feel like the torque converter is engaged as if your foot is off the clutch on a manual transmission ?

Check the sensors on the transfer case and the transmission both. It's a pretty easy and cheap fix too by the way. Best thing to do is pull a network diagnostics test on the vehicle and it should tell you which sensor is bad.

Honestly, I have a 1993 2.8 L V6 and it's always idled high when warming up. They're rather notorious for that for some reason lol

could be brakes... or bearings... check both and repost with more details if that doesnt fix.

Are the injectors getting power and a ground pulse from the computer ?

the sensor for the speedo is in the side of the transmission
