sounds like you might need a window motor. if the window goes up and down with help the motor is weak. the clicking is more than likely the relay

Need to have the transmisson fluid checked and most likely changed. Take it to a reputable shop and it costs about $150.00 to have it done, you can do it yourself for less but it's a mess unless you have everything you need.

OK so the engines fires up? This means that the transmission is neutral or park. Try starting the car with the shift in gear. If the car starts but does not move this tells you that the selector switch on the side of the transmission casing is not being moved out of 'park' and therefore the links need to be checked for continuity. If the engine fails to start then the selector has been moved out of 'park' and that although the links from the gear selector in the car to the are OK there is something wrong with the transmission.

there is an orfice tube filter in your system usually found close to dryer

there is a tensioner that normally holds the belt in place there should be a diagram under the hood showing how the belt goes back on normally it is a 3/8 socket or 1/2 inch socket you use on the tensioner to release the pressure once you put the belt back on and everything is in place and the belt tensioner is working all you have to do is start up the car and the belt tensioner adjusts itself

you are turning the wrong bolt.The tensioner is on the opposite side just below the a/c accumulator. Use the same wrench and pull towards you. You can notice that the pulley has a lever arm.

brake lights come on? if the brake pedel switch isnt working it wont let you out of park. also a steep hill can make it hard to move out of park.

Located between the air box and throttle body on the drivers side. You really cant clean them except blow it out with air. Its better to replace it. If you break one of the small wires that measures air it will not work right and the car won't start at all. If check engine light is on take it to and auto parts store that will scan the computer for free.

This is an adjustment best done by a professional. It appears the anchor / adjusting screw or bolt has come loose.
You must remove the panel-cover and if lose tighten if broken repair or replace.

try taking down the VIN # and call the local dealer to check on recalls or service bulletins

Try to change your oil and add one quart of lucas oil that will quiet your engine and will lubricate your valves too.
5 quarts of regular oil change. Pour 4 quarts of synthetic oil 5W30 and one quart Lucas Oil.

SOUND LIKE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR PROBLEMS.YOUR VECHICLE HAS TO HOOK UP TO DIAGNOSTIC SCANNER TO CHECK THE T-R SENSOR.TO SEE IF ITS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT OR FAULTY.

prise out the centre of steering wheel you will find an hexagon nut

I would think so. Might be a good idea to measure the distance between the bolts first, but i can't see why they would be different, unless there was a big change from 03 to 04.

sounds like your issue is either involving the torque convertor, or more than likely the transmission is at fault. your gear shift lever is actually mechanically linked to the trans, the gear position sensor would not cause the van not to move, sorry for the bad news!

you could try a 70 series instead of 60, usually a cheaper choice, though replace all 4 at the same time or the size difference may cause an ABS concern
Maybe like a P215 or P225 / 70r16
check competition & price shop, alot of this can be done online without leaving the house.
I personally avoid the Tire Sweat shops, I have found many low end , new tires that served me very well
I have also found a regular relationshop with a good tire shop can lead to good deals on tires outside the going special as well as superior service. But I do drive a-lot too
