Your problem is in the heater. Maybe just a bad hose. New antifreeze, even the ones that advertise to seal leaks won't always solve the problem.

there are usually 2 little buttons, 1 on each side, underneath the seat in the front. push and pull up

steering rack is bad. I would not recommend this as a DIY project, as it is very involved and a safety related item.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

This will help.

Thanks.

throttle position sensor or crank position sensor. but first have it on a fault diagnosis machine to find a fault code and go from there

Try your inertia switch in the cargo area in back. Its located on the passenger side rear wheel well. Push the button.

Check your inertia switch in the rear cargo area (wagon) passenger side rear wheel well. Press the button. You should hear and feel it click in.

Sounds like a sensor issue. Is there any other issues with the transmission?

Try replacing radiator cap. I'd do this first and if that doesn't cure it replace heater control valve. The cap is the cheaper of the two.

transmission is low of fluid, strainer is mostly stopped up or the transmission is about to go out

transmission is bad, fluid low, or strainer is partally stopped up

Hi Nunley, I'm not sure if this engine design protects the valves or not in the event of the timing belt breaking. If it does all you need do is replace a new belt and you're off, but I think that if it breaks it means big problems. The problems will come in the form of bent and damaged valves and possibly also damaged pistons. The best way to find out for sure is to fit a new belt, with the crankshaft on the TDC mark and with the cam shaft aligned to the notch marks at the rear of the cylinder head (if memory serves well) I believe that an insert is needed that fits into the slots and aligns with the top surface of the cylinder head. Fit it and then give it the correct tension, rotate the engine by hand with the correct size spanner (wrench) and recheck the alignment of the marks with each second revolution of the engine. if they match up, before doing any more assembly, carry out a compression test. If the compression shows a failure of pressure build up, suspect bent and damaged valves and that will mean a cylinder head reconditioning job. Don't shoot the messenger. Best of luck John

Check the 30 amp fuse in the fuse box under the instrument panel on the drivers-side. If it's alright remove the connector from the heater resistor mounted on the passengers side close to the blower motor. These are usually secured with small hex headed screws.With the ignition switch in run, turn the heater on and use a test light to see if you have voltage coming to any of the connector pins. If you don't you'll need to trace back until you locate the problem. If you do have voltage check the resistor. Don't forget to turn off the ignition switch.

yes un plug the wire and the a/c wont go on wont affect any thing else
