Biggest problem is neutral safety switch. When it goes you have no crank no start. A pain to get too have to remove driver seat and be a gynmist to get to it. Most customers turn its circuit into an ignition kill switch and do not replace it.
Next suspension and tires are fickle. At oil change intervals check all ball joint for wear and keep monitoring steering damper for dents and leaks.When this puppy goes you'll have steering wheel oscillations. very easy to replace and not that costly.
Tires just all around **** with this car. If you get 25k out of a pair( regardless of what brand) you did good.
If you have a manual transmission shifter rattles in third gear.
valve cover gaskets every 3-4 years
Calipers leak, there is a TSB on this basically hunt down a good brand and use them.
R4 A/C compressor is very fickle usually dies within 4 years of service.
A/C control head is in a bad spot and is effected by road conditions. pays to have extra parts for this hanging around ( vacuum valve,and setting switch and clear plastic cover)
Also good to keep power window switches handy.
Power seat motor usually good in all positions except tilt position.
Power seat connectors prone to fail due to corroded terminals.
Water pump goes every 50k .
lastly leaf springs , replace silencers every 25k or when squeaking is unbearable.
I would ahve the alternator tested to see if it was bad first, if so I would replace it and see if that improves your choke situation. If the alternator is not putting out enough voltage it can affect other systems in you car including an electric choke system.
Big problem with these cars is the electrical connector behind the driver seat on the floor. Son of a gun to open use a small screw driver and be careful. They must closetightly and hold. 90% of time the terminals are loaded with corrosion. Remove battery power from the vehicle and either clean them or replace them. If that doesn't work pull seat cushions out and test the switch. Use shop manual for this
simple test. Either check the switch for resistance or remove the switch from the electrical connectors and jump the terminals with a jumper wire to see if you get the seat motor to move. If it does you need a new switch if it doesn't you need a new motor. Shop manual may have another way to test this with the switch in place. Here you are measuing for continuity.
This is fun stuff . good luck &keep me posted
The power seats use a circuit breaker. Power Accessory (PWR ACC) As the breaker cools off, it works again. Suggest your problem is in the power seat switch, or the motor for the power seat.
