You have to fix it, not find away around it. Your car came with three keys from new.

Hello, crank position sensor located at the 2 o`clock position hidden behind timing cover and crank shaft pulley. If you look closely in well lit area or use a flashlight you can follow the (CCPS) harness down the right hand side of timing cover to where it goes into lower timing cover on lower right hand side of crank shaft pulley. It can be replaced with out removing timing belt. Please note if the 60,000 miles heavy service interval for timing belt is needed and water pump condition should be observed when repairing the crank position sensor.

Check all hoses and also see if your water pump is leaking. There has to be something that is leaking possibly in the area of your floor boards. I suspect a hose that has a pin hole in it and only leaks under pressure.

This could be a cracked tank for your radiator filler. Try placing a clean paper towel under the antifreeze tank and fill it with coolant. If there is a crack in the tank you will see it or the results of it. Replace the antifreeze tank - these things get cracked when people put water in the tank instead of mixed water and antifreeze. You get a hard freeze and bingo - your coolant tank breaks - usually on a seam and underneath it where you can't easily see it.

Try this, disconnect your battery for about 4 hours and put together the terminals that go from your car to the battery, do not touch the battery! ONLY have the terminals from your car, the ones going to your motor touch each other. I repeat do not touch the battery, you don't even need the battery to be in your car while you do this. and that should reset your computer. to me it sounds like immobilizer has gone into a security mode. try it, it wont hurt. you might need your stereo code because it will be on anti theft after disconnecting the battery, most of the time you will find the code somewhere in the glove box. pls vote.

A part inside the door known as the "Door Ajar" sensor switch is defective, replace it. It is attached to the door latch in most makes

Is it a floor shifter? If so i wouldnt have used wd40.. It collects dust and contaminants. If anything on moving plastic to metal parts like that or plastic to plastic a silicone lubricant is more preferable. Its likely time for a new shifter Knob is where i would start. There should be either an oversized staple looking peice that retains the knob on the shifter itself, or it could possibly screw off as well.

If it fits go ahead. Just make sure you hook up the sires correctly and ..............................

The heater should work even when the thermostat is closed. You cannot hear the thermostat. It opens very slowly. If you hear bubbling noises, you probably have air in the system that needs to be bled out. You may also have a leak. Something you can try is to get some coolant, park on a hill, let the engine cool. Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot. When it cools, add coolant with the engine running. This will help burp air out of the engine.

If he said it was the throttle idle air control, that is correct. The car may not idle but is safe to drive.

Sounds like your alternater, get a multimeter set it to volts start the car then check the battery is getting 14 or over volts from the alternater to the battery , if your getting less than that it's not putting enough volts back to the battery to run the car with good luck colin
