I suspect you needto relace your coil pack. You are probably not running on all 4. the engine will run but only on 2 cylinders.
If missing replace coil pack. they go regularily on the 03/05 F style engines. You should be able to locate a good used one at a wreckers.

What kind of vehicle...most front wheel drives yes..you'll have to undo everything that's connected to the motor then take out all bolts to the transmission. Then the torque converter bolts to fly wheel.and exhaust all motor mounts all wires fuel lines
Remove the hood and pop it out.just remember to keep track of everything you remove I make a video of everything I do .this way I know where it goes.

Order a new one on the internet and just replace it. You can buy generic parts for the arms but they won't last.

I assume this is an automatic transmission, you didn't say.
There is no dip stick on the transmission any longer.
You will have to go under the car to check. You may want to go to your local instant oil change and have them check the level.
If you feel you want to check it, here is a description of the location and process.

Make certain the vehicle remains level while checking the fluid.
Located just above the top sealing flange of the transmission oil pan you will find a threaded plug. Remove the plug and see if transmission fluid drips out of the hole. If so, the fluid level is correct. If not, remove the red fill cap on top of the transmission, driver side. Add fluid to the transmission until fluid dribbles out of hole.
Replace and tighten the plug.
Good luck.

Where is the noise coming from? Under the hood? When is the noise made? At idle? accelerating?

Shop manual.

Parking brake

The most common cause would be the turn signal switch. You would need to check for power in and out of the brake light switch, then the turn signal switch to find the problem.

this is getting to be too much,i am going to flag and delete these soon

Could be an engine mount that's failed? or is this a knock while you drive. If so check CV joint/s.

There's no simple way to remove the rear window on most cars. They are often glued in like front windows. It would likely cost less then $100 to have a professional tint the window with it in the vehicle. That in my opinion would be your best route.

if where the "U" hook is mounted is just sheet metal the that area will have to be strengthened. Get a piece of flat bar about 3/16 " thick and remove the hook, place the flat bar behind the sheet metal. Make it long enough to be able to drill outside the width of the hook. Mark holes for the hook and drill. place the flat bar behind the rear and do the hook back up This will place the flat bar behind the sheet metal in place now drill smaller holes for pop rivets and fix the bar to the sheet metal This mod will spread the load over a greater area of the hook and reduce the sheet metal bending

• Which screws are you looking for? Are you trying to find the pivot ball or the drive shaft to the transmission. If its the transmission shaft that bump at the bottom of the Wiper Arm is a cover over the Nut that holds it to the Drive Shaft which has Splines on it. If it is turning and the Arms are not could be the Splines are compromised.The Transmission is what that long metal frame with the Pivot Balls on it is called. That is located under that Cowl at the Wipers.

Check and make sure your engine has the recommend amount. When you stop your vehicle the engine is at idle and has a lower oil pressure then when your car is driving. A oil light is a pressure gauge, when the light is on when stopped is the first sign of an oil leak, most likely the oil pan gasket.
