Is the key you are using green? If so, it is the Valet Key and it will only lock the door - it will not work on the glove box or the trunk.

The starter is above your feet when you are sitting in the driver seat. It is very diffficult to get at as the bolts are difficult to get at. You can only barely see it if you look down at an angle between the wiper motor and braking parts. You have to get at from top and from bottom. An hour even if you have the perfect tools and a lift.

These are the intake lines for air for each cylinder

Better change that ignition switch before you break teeth in the flywheel and ruin the starter.........could end up being very very expensive. sounds like a short in the ignition wiring and any little bump could and wouold send a start signal to the starter.

No, there will be too much air trapped in the lines. The pedal may firm up, but will loosen later, creating a dangerous situation. The brakes will need completely "bled". Do a google search for bleeding brakes. It's too complicated to explain here (not very hard, but lots of steps).

AC systems have a pressure switch that does not allow compressor to engage when freon is low.check for low freon.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls.

check and replace in cabin air filter

If this is the original Radio that came with the car , you can always get he code from the dealer using your Chassis Number . You will be charged for that service but I do not think it is much.

Have you tried placing your ***** into the ignition? If this also fails try buying a hand held fan from your nearest supermarket and attach it to the door, so that is postioned in such a way that the cool air is blown upon your over-heated face.

It's best to buy the subscription to your car here www.alldatdiy.com and read the information on that car, I only have down to 93 and don't know if they are the same. hope this helps.

Check visual along both Downpipes towards the Intermediate Mufflers, and you will find it.

hi remove top nuts and washers,once road wheel removed jack car up shock absorber will drop down from inner wing remove lower bolt and nut,move shock absorber up then slide out through the bottom past the lower wishbone,hope this helps(did it this way on mine)

Willing to bet it is a fuel pump and or fuel filter...your symptoms were solved when I changed both on mine...

It is under the car at passenger/driver side. Accessible from underneath and by removing the left rear tire. (Jack it up and its much easier).
2 small nuts hold it in place in its collar. Awkward nut not too difficult....

check AC relay

Definitely an earthing problem. Check in the headlight area first and ensure the earth has not worked loose. You coulod attach an earth to the existing green wire and take it to a strong er eart6h pole and see if that fixes the drop off of volume

Had a similar problem within the last year. Either your fuel pump is failing or your fuel filter is partially blocked. Change both and drive away.

the vents are stuck in wrong position good cleaning should fix it
