What engine codes do you have. If there is an emissions problem there should be a check engine light.

There are two problems here. First you need and abs control unit. They are very expensive and it is possible to rebuild them. A couple of places to call: ATE, Auto Truck Electronics, they are in Florida, and BBA Remanufacturing near Boston, MA. I have used both companies and they charge much less to rebuild them than it costs to purchase a new one. That should take care of the speedometer, brake light, and ABS light. As for the check engine, that could be anything and the car will need to be scanned. ETS light can be remedied by a trip to the dealer. There is a campaign to install new software to the Electronic Throttle Controller. This is no charge to the customer and I believe the car has to be under 200,000 miles.

Well firstly if your wife drove the car for 5 miles with the tensioner broken, then the belt being lose will have slipped a couple of teeth. Did you set the camshaft and crank alignment marks correctly before you fitted the new tensioner? If you did and it still won't start then that means that you have one or two bent valve's in the cylinder head.You will have to remove the cylinder head and replace those valves or that car will never start again.

All you have to do is go to Wal Mart &read the back of the trans fluid bottles

What code # you have,check the code first and go step by step what need to be done.I would clean throttle body first,with carb. cleaner.

CHANGE YOUR OIL!!!!

put six point one (6.1) quarts in and then check your oil. Good place to start at.
