The
following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any
electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.
The
engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only
for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the
transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in
most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory
of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as
the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done
is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system
for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for
engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained
technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then
based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the
correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer
replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other
basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with
the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine.
The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear
engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related
problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many
drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

Make sure the MAF sensor is properly connected. It plugs into the air cleaner housing and is easily damaged and will definitely cause a rough idle. Next- check the idle air control motor on the throttle housing. If these are not the problem make sure the throttle position sensor is working properly. If none of these work-your engine may be worn out...
No Starter response when turning the ingition key.
Sounds like your starter solenoid is not working. I would pull the starter and have it tested but you are most likely going to need a new starter.
Here are the steps to remove let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
I have 1992 plymouth colt vista ans its hard
I am assuming you mean it cranks for along time before it starts. This is most likely low fuel pressure- which means that most likely the electric fuel pump in the tank is worn out. The fuel pressure can be checked at the fuel rail- should show at least 30 lbs at idle-and if the pressure regulator is working the pressure will increase as the gas pedal is pressed down. That is the best I can do given that your question is not very specific.
What would be the steps for pulling the starter,
Disconnect positive battery terminal. Starters are located on the rear of your engine, where it mates up with your transmission. Disconnect your leads (wires) and label them for easier installation. Remove the bolts (2 of 3) and slide starter back, out of the housing. Install new starter in the same location and connect leads. Connect battery terminal. Good Luck.22
