First check the condition of the following:

1) Spark plugs, leads and coils.
2) Air filter
3) Fuel filter

If they all check out to be fine, then next check the operation of the manifold pressure sensor and the mass air flow sensor.

Also check cylinder compression for signs of engine wear.

Place the car on jacks. Remove the seal using a screw driver and a rubber mallet. Remove the carter pen, then the bolt. Remove the bearing. Clean out the eitire wheel area with a good cleaner. REpack the bearing unless it comes pre packed with wheel bearing grease.

1996 Geo Prizm power steering noise

Hi:
If you have been loosing fluid for some time, and running the car with low fluid in the power steering pump, then the pump is most likely worn and causing your noise. Do you know where your leak is? You might need just a power steering hose, but no matter what, your power steering pump is the most likely cause of your noise!

It's probably a blinker relay. If you can find one, it'll probably be remanufactured or from a junkyard. Take it to the mechanic.
