Sounds like the fuel pump quit. How many miles on the car? Does the car still crank over?

Get a wiring diagram and colors will be shown.

I would sling it in a bin and then rethink that answer

NOTE: wait until the car is cool. Push down firmly on the cap and rotate it counter clockwise at the same time you are pushing down on it. Once the cap has cleared the tabs, pull up on it, it should come straight off. This guy give a good explanation. http://youtu.be/vEdtHZwLKZ8 Hope this helps

Starter switch is faulty. (not to be confused with the key switch), or The passlock sensor in the igniton lock cylinger may fail causing an anti-theft system fault and a no start condition

If you mean the bottom bolt which is holding the caliper in place, and its rounded off really bad, first soak it and the area where it threads into with a good penetrating oil (WD-40, Liquid wrench), let it sit for about 2 hours, apply more oil, then clean off the head and tap it with a metal hammer several times to loosed it up. Then clamp on the biggest vise-grip wrench you can find as tight as it will go. Then remove the bolt with the vise grip. This has always worked with me.

One of the coil packs or the ignition module is probably bad. Test for spark when cold. If no spark on any coils suspect the ignition module or crank position sensor. If spark is gone on only one coil check the plugs and wires to that coil pack. If theplugs and wires are ok then replace thge coil pack. Don't forget the obvious load test the battery and clean the battery connections. If the check engine light is on run any diagnostic codes and repair

My standard for most of these type of questions is that you should purchse a haynes or chiltons manuel for your vehicle. I will have instructions and diagrams as well as tips to help you do your job, I bought mine on ebay for 17.50.

There isn't an overdrive relay. There is an overdrive solenoid. It takes about four hours to replace. You better have manuals and patience to do it. otherwise you will mess up the transmission worse than it is already..I really don't recommend a nice to do it. When you take it apart, there are parts that fall out. You lose them or don't get them back in place, a transmission rebuild ,plus extra parts are in the works for you.

Sounds like one of two things
one turn on your car wait for two minutes than check your teams fluid level if low than add one or two quarts check under vehicle for any leaks (careful car will be hot.
Second if all that it's good than u have bad solenoids or burn clutches good luck.

its the Blend Door needs fixed or replaced

The ignition switches are made to be replaced. You should not have to cut or splice anything, those parts would stay in the vehicle and attach to the ignition switch.

May be CV-joint going. Have a look at boot for hole that dirt may have been getting in damaged it. Never hurts to inspect brakes while wheel is off.

Find the wire at the bottom of the steering column that comes down from the horn button, or locate the wire at the horn relay.. Cut this wire and splice it to a wire that goes to one side of a push button switch. Connect the other side of the switch to the metal chassis of the car, which is ground. A metal part of the dashboard frame will usually work.Then when you press the button, it will activate the relay and sound the horn.
