Hello Kenneth...a simple one wire toggle switch will do the trick...the ignition switch pink wire will interrupt the start/crank function but your anti theft system may not like the power disruption during ignition off mode. Always make sure your battery is disconnected while making modifications and carefully research the effects of electrical mods. You can always remove a related fuse ie: (fuel pump) if you are trying to secure the vehicle from another ignition key.

recheck the timing,valve clearance, run the OBD for any codes to faulty sensors etc

spray some throttle body into the throttle body to clean it out. Do this by taking off the air filter tubes. Start the engine and slowly spray into the throttle body.

Have tried locking and unlocking the car door with the key?

Do you know how to test electrical circuit's using a wiring diagram an a voltmeter ? Reading how the headlamps are suppose to work ,then testing is how to find the problem . Headlamps The headlamps may be turned ON 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position, for normal operation. Second, with the headlamp switch placed in the AUTO position, for automatic lamp control (ALC). During ALC, the headlamps will be OFF in daylight conditions, or low beam operation in low light conditions. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the low beam relay and the high beam relay in the underhood fuse block. When low beam headlamps are requested, the body control module (BCM) supplies ground to the coil side of the low beam relay. This activates the relay and the relay supplies voltage to the left hand low beam headlamp through the LH LOW BEAM fuse and to the right hand low beam headlamp through the RH LOW BEAM fuse. Ground for the left hand low beam headlamp is provided at G101. Ground for the right hand low beam headlamp is provided at G102. When high beam headlamps are requested, the BCM supplies ground to the coil side of the high beam relay. This activates the relay and the relay supplies voltage to the left hand high beam headlamp through the LH HIGH BEAM fuse and to the right hand high beam headlamp through the RH HIGH BEAM fuse. Ground for the left hand high beam headlamp is provided at G101. Ground for the right hand high beam headlamp is provided at G102.

disconnect either heater hose at the engine, remove radiator cap, slowly pour water in at heater hose untill it comes out radiator

look in the glove box for the code or the trunk. you might find it there. if not, then copy your vin # down and call the dealer for the code.

Eyes, but you will have to jack it up and reach from below. Be careful and do not burn yourself on the exhaust.

run the fault codes fix the sensor problem reset using a scan tool

The best solution you'll get from books at www.reliable-store.com

1. These are books containing info on repair, service, troubleshooting, parts info, assembling dissemble, removal, error/fault codes, wiring diagrams and everything on any vehicles cars, atv, trucks. forklifts, boats, excavators etc

its possible but low fluid usually would cause all gears to shift late or not timely. I doubt its the fluid but keep it up to specs before convicting the trans clutches. Have u been maintaining it (flush & filter chg on trans)

Look for a broken ground wire under back of car

Pretty hard to do without flush equipment because the heater hoses are metal. Can't tap into them easily.

Metric socket set. Extensions. Ratchet. Hose clamp removal pliers. Transmission line disconnect tool.

When the hood is up and you are looking at the engine it is always in my experience on the firewall (under the windshield) towards the right side. The cap will say something like dot 3 or dot 4 brake fluid on it and the brake fluid reservoir will be translucent so you can see the fluid level through it.

It appears to be located in thermostat housing. Two wire connector, wire colors tan and yellow.

educate yourself about the fault code. P0463 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Inputeval ez write tag 728 90 obd...

Sorry, but gotta have the dealer do it. They hook up a machine that matches the radio with the car info. so if it gets stolen it won't work in another car.

There is excess pressure in the sump, which means most likely it has worn piston rings. Get a compression test done on it to see this.

The two pin bolts that hold the caliper? My info says 25 ft lbs.
