is the idle speed too high?

I'm assuming you got this fixed already but to prevent it from happening again keep fuel more than half tank and with every fill add a fuel additive that prevents freezing

The coil is not getting constant power to it / through it. It is possible that the ignition module is faulty or the distributor shaft is moving so as to allow the cam in side to contact the side of the module because of bent/ worn bushes

This has distributor cap.

check the fuel pressure and the spark which is going first very important info

Could be a problem with the idle circuit inside the carb, or a large vac leak.

The input shaft (on the front of the trans) is inserted into the clutch plate, so the trans has to move straight backward (or the engine has to move straight forward) about two or three inches to separate the two, before either one can move up or down.

Make sure that you can get them to rotate slightly with respect to each other, to make sure that there is not one more bolt somewhere that is still holding them together.

If you are pulling the engine, make sure that you have already removed the radiator, otherwise when you pull the engine forward, it could go too far and smash the radiator.

well if they are crossed it is bad. that could cause premature detonation in the intake or after fire in the exhaust. or no spark period. either way it will make a hell of a noise the manual should give you the firing order and on top of the distributor should be the numbers marking which cable goes to which plug on which cylinder. I wouldnt recommend running it till he can fix it cause it will cause more harm and more money in the long run if he does

It's in the engine compartment. On the drivers side firewall below the master cylinder next to the fender

Fuse box should be under the dash near the steering column, and - or in the glove box.

It can be low fuel pressure issue or clogged fuel pump. Or its engine related issues,---------------

These will help.

Thanks.

it could be the linkage is bent or slipped a little on the drivers side under the car find the cable linkage look and see if the screw has slipped if it has move it back and tighten it up

alot of times as parts heat up the metal in the part expands...this is with any metal structure...buildings bridges etc...many moving parts inside your vehicle account for this expansion and contraction with clearances...with that said it could be as simple as a good carb clean...inside the carbuerator is ports or the proper term jets that at certain RPMs different jets are activated...my suggestion would be at worst scenario your due for a good carb cleaning :) get in there and scrub her up good.

depends upon which engine you havehttp://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfm?location_id=3002

Have you tried using a spray carburetor cleaner? Also, is the fuel filter clean?

Check fuses. Find horn andf see if when u push horn button if u have power. Or use a power probe and put power to the horn see if it makes noise. Also try a new horn.

You have a short somewhere. Disconnect the positive terminal on the battery and check for continuity with an ohms meter. Take the blown fuse out and check the same on both sides of the fuse receptor. If you hold one side to a ground and touch the other side to a positive terminal, you will get an ohms reading if there is a short. If no short, the ohms meter will do nothing.

You don't say what year, make, or model of vehicle you are asking about. This makes answering difficult. BUT, there should NEVER be a hole in the bottom of an intake. This will cause a reduction in engine vacuum,. introduce dirt and grit into the engine, and cause poor fuel economy and poor engine performance. Get the intake problem fixed and you are well on your way to a better performing vehicle.
