Does the engine crack when you turn the key?
if it does it is probably not the battery.
You can mesure if the battery is dead. the voltage across the poles should be about 12v, any lower than 8-9v you have a problem.
It does not always mean that you battery is dead. Could also be that it is not charging the battery right. when the engine is running the voltage should be <13.6v and when you rev the engine it sould go up a little bit. If it doesnt, then you alternator is dead.

There should be a little panel on your door that when removed will reveal 3 nuts and a connector for the motor to adjust the mirror. Pull the connector off the plug and remove the 3 nuts and remove the mirror.

check your idle air control valve. it controls the idle speed. when it gets gummed up it can no longer adjust idle speed. remove the IAC and spray with carburtor cleaner. also clean the throttle bore and throttle plate.

Hi

is it the correct size throttle body or a slightly larger one? this would make a big difference to the air mass sensor, lambda oxygen sensor and emmissions.

Is this a regular replacement part, please clarify.
