heat shield could be broken or loose missing screws to hold it in place.NO bad idea DONT remove heat shield it protects other components from heat damage.heat shields also protect vechicle floor board from getting too hot causing fire.

join the hose in to the hose out on the heater. There are connectors available from auto spares shops.

It could be a lot of thing cause that.Check for:-Misfire-Lose air hose.-Dirty air flow sensorMai

Sounds like the spray nozzle is bent or partially plugged up.

Could be the fuel pump relay, or a faulty pump, or pressure regulator.The fuel system is supposed to hold pressure after you turn the engine off. A faulty pump or pressure regulator could allow fuel to drain back into the tank overnight. You would need to crank the engine for several seconds to build pressure back up. The relay could be faulty and not giving the fuel pump power until the oil pressure comes up.

Mine were blown to pieces shredded cardboard I looked for fuses like crazy but they were simply just cheap speakers and blown out

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 or ECM,ECU), 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 can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

The only fuel cutoff is made by the ECU, relay and fuel pump. There is no additional switch.

no there is no fuse if you have ab aftermarket radio and th speakers are not working i would recomend checking connections on back of radio if it has a stock radio check the connectors on speakers if there attached and still dont work you have blown speakers or bad wiring

under the driverside should be a cable and a adjusting nut and bolt

Check intake tube for split & check for vacume leak. you can do this by spraying aerostart around vac lines & intake tube / manifold when car idleing. If leak detected the RPM will increase. does it **** up hills?

It just snaps back in place, if it won't stay then the area it snaps into is defective or broken.

check for split intake tube or vacume leak then check idle stepper motor followed by airflow sensor

oil pans are fairly good for the life of the car you only change if it is badly damage i'm not sure on your car but if you have access to a car ramp put your car on it sometimes you might have to remove an engine mount or two you have a lot bolts take them off but make sure you drain the oil you will also need a new oil pan gasket

sounds like the freon charge is a little low add a can

The most likely cause if this problem is that the system has a leak and is low on charge, have an AC repair shop run a pressure test on the system to see if the pressures are low which would indicate a leak is present. Repair the leak before you recharge the system

HelloThe Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
