This sounds like a bad connection, the problem is where, i have seen the wiring harness that goes over the transmission rub into wiring and cause engine to shut down and then restart again and run until the right movement is made to shut down again.Try starting the car and do the wiggle test, start grabing wiring and moving around and see if engine dies out.

look for to small clips on the rear of cover if there you will need a very then flat tip srew driver

if it was the firing order the car engine would be shaking real bad and the engine would backfire. try disconnect the air mass sensor. if you have a bad air mass sensor and you disconnect it, your power will return to normal.

your front suspension has ball joints which have a lubrication adapter that takes ball bearing grease. you need a grease gun. better to take it to a shade tree mechanic and let him grease all the front end joints. get a quote on the cost first.

Yes you can. Just purchase a belt for one without AC and put it on. Of course after that you'll have no AC.

Crank but no start is either no spark or no fuel to engine. Best way to narrow it down is to just spray a 1 second dose of starting fluid into the air intake before you try to start it. If it does start then die it is lack of fuel or bad fuel to engine. In all the modern EFI cars the most likely faults on fuel failure with fuel in car are: 1. fuel pump failure. 2. fuel pump relay 3. fuel filter plug If it fails to fire on the starting fluid it is lack of spark, and the trouble shooting procedure will be to investigate the coil pack.

ok if every thing runs blower and all speeds on the fan more than likely it is your temp actuator ! that will make it blow cold or luke warm ! also check your fluids just in case !!

sounds like core is plugged...or starting to plug up.

sounds like your alternator

Check for broken spring, loose sway bar link, tie rod, ball joint, front subframe mount.

You have to remove the compressor, then install a bypass pulley so the belt can be routed the same way.

Use a no A/C serpentine belt to bypass

If started later on then is probably not battery. With car running disconnect battery, if it quits alternator shot. Engine should run on altenator with no battery. Is likely a bad wire somewhere that opens when hot. One of the most difficult and time consuming things to track down.
