have you checked the air blend door actuator?

have you checked the coolent level?

its not a fuse if the blower motor works , you have a clogged or bad thermastat, bad water pump or your radiator heater core is clogged

You need to have the fluid changed and replaced with fresh fluid. The reason it is currently boiling the fluid and causing it to spill out is because of the drop in viscosity of the current fluid and is unable to perform its duties. I would take it to a local AAMCO transmission shop, they have always done good work for me.

If no blower is running check for a bad fuse for the heater blower or a bad blower motor and or resistor or burned connector to the blower motor

If you sprayed something into the intake I would assume you were checking for fuel So is the fuel pump coming on? Is the there fuel pressure at the rail on the motor? You check for OBD Codes? Look at any scan tool data? Have injector Pulse or clicking? Testing one spark plug is not a conclusive test of much How was that test done? You checked ALL Vehicle fuse? Battery any good & was that tested? Check cylinder leak down or compression at some point

freeze plugs or core plugs in english ,all the same thing though ! find a socket to fit the outside lip and just wack them in ,wack not diddly dally tap tap ,yes i know your supposed to remove the old ones and all that but only if you have the correct access and the time ,if not just wack the new ones in over the top of the old ones you should not have a problems with the old ones laying in the block ,and dont forget the antifreeze minimum 50% even in a frost free climate as its anti corrosion as well as antifreeze

If your engine has overheated then more than likely you have a blown head gasket. 1. have compression checked for each cylinder. if a cylinder shows low compression 20 lbs less than the others then you have a gasket/head job needing repaired. 2. if there is water in the oil. your engine has a blown head gasket. aluminum heads will need to be checked at a machine shop for warpped head...and all head bolts will need replaced.

Sounds pretty cut and dry to me...You have a wheel cylinder, a caliper, or a brake line leaking. Find out which it is and fix it and your brakes will work again.

it has to be going somewhere , check your radiator (why) because the radiator cools the tranny in lower radiator, when you park your car put down cardboard and look at it in the morning

Push the lock on the bulb socket & turn the socket

Could be the fuel pump Have to test things to find problems In the future, you install no parts until you diagnose your vehicles & find problems, & only then determine if a part has failed

if the leak is coming out the seal behind the tie rod bellows then replace the steering rack as special tools are required to change this and chances are the housing is worn anyways. if its the seal at the input shaft were the steering column connects to the rack then you can change this seal.

have a compression test done as it appears that the head gasket is faulty and you are getting compression gases into the radiator.

You need to know where the water is going. Places to look are the freeze plugs on the engine block and heads. A radiator cap that won't hold pressure, a clogged radiator and a stuck thermostat. If there isn't any coolant leaking then the engine is burning it

Your NOT able to use the car STOP Have the vehicle diagnosed & repaired

You have something failing in your engine controls needs to be scanned for codes and tested to determine fault

The code is for differential pressure feedback sensor circuit low voltage detected. The DPFE sensor is used to measure pressure in and out of the EGR valve.The sensor would need to be checked with a volt meter.

fuel pressure regulator valve is located on the fuel rail under the hood on the intake it will have a vacume hose connected to it.

Sounds like a shift cable or rod broke. This is dangerous as you probably figured out. Some emergency brakes do not work well for Reverse either. There is so little fabric on the Emergency brake that you are lucky it still works for you. There is a safety lockout on the gearshift which requires a foot on the brake pedal. Otherwise you could just move the gearshift back and forth and see that the shifter is no longer connected to the transmission. Look at some autoparts sites for the shift cable assembly. Once you see what is a good assembly you should be able to see where yours is broke. Youtube may have a video to show how to repair your car.
