This is not a do it yourself repair .So if you do not want to destroy your engine take it to a competent workshop and have the car checked out as I already advised you.

You are asking multiple individual questions here when the problems are all related. You should ask one question and provide all the information about problems with the vehicle at once if you want to get the correct information in a reply.I have already answered this question when responding to your check engine query where you did not even to bother indicating that you were getting overheating warnings as well which I had assumed must be occurring and told you so.

Quite obviously there is a problem with the engine's cooling system which needs to be rectified. You should also be monitoring the coolant temp gauge because it would be in the red.If you keep driving the car in this condition you will destroy the engine and very soon wind up with a car that will not be worth repairing.The cooling system will need to be flushed as a minimum and the water pump checked. I suggest that the water pump may have failed and will need to be replaced. (A new thermostat should also be fitted.)

Remove all the plastic covers that you see. There ought to be in by the door handle, and two under the armrest. You may need to remove the plastic cover by the interior door handle by pushing forward on the plastic unit. Check to ensure that all the screws are removed(philips), and tug gently on the door panel. There might be some or one that you may have missed. Do not force it off. There are plastic "anchors" that hold the door panel to the door itself. Some might break, but can be replaced with others from your local parts store

no spend your money on a new car

There should be a blower fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment.It should be in the back of your owners manual.

HelloWhen the service engine soon light (Also called the check engine light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the systems it controls, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

The BEST way is to replace the sensor. If the connection is loose or comes loose it will tell your cars computer false readings. It will save you problems in the future. Retail parts stores also carry the sensor for less than the dealer most times. Good luck!

A mouse or leaves from a nearby tree have gotten into the AC/Heater blower motor and they are touching the blower motor speed control resistor, this is very hot and makes them smolder and smoke and smell. You will need to remove the blower motor from the housing that it is in and clean out what ever is in there.

Hi there:When the light comes on, one or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) are stored in the engine control module. These DTCs remain even if the light goes out. To address a Check Engine Light problem, the DTCs are retrieved and the appropriate troubleshooting information is followed in order to determine the problem.The four most common Check Engine Light scenarios and what to do:* The Check Engine Light turns on and off or flickers.If the Check Engine Light comes on in the city but goes off on the freeway, then the fault is present during city driving conditions. Pay attention to whether or not the vehicle runs or drives any differently when the Check Engine Light illuminates. If vehicle performance does change, drive the car as little as possible and take it to be checked by a service professional as soon as possible. If there is no change in vehicle performance, you can drive home, but have it inspected as soon as possible. In this condition, you run a risk of the vehicle dying or not starting.* The Check Engine Light comes on and stays on.If the Check Engine Light illuminates constantly during driving with no noticeable driving or performance problems, there is a permanent fault in the emission control system. When this happens, the computer that controls the emission system usually has a backup program that runs while the fault is present. (These backup programs are often referred to as "limp home" mode programs.) You should get the vehicle serviced as soon as possible, but in most cases, the vehicle will continue to operate, though you run a risk of it dying or not starting.* The Check Engine Light illuminates, stays on, and there are performance problems.This means that a vital component of your emission control and engine management system has a serious problem. It usually involves a component or system needed for the vehicle to run at all. In most cases, drive the vehicle as little as possible. In many cases, the vehicle is not safe to drive at all -it could stop or stall out at any moment. It is best to pull over to a safe place and have the vehicle towed to an automotive diagnostician for a thorough inspection and repair.* The Check Engine Light light comes on and blinks in a steady pattern while driving.Don't confuse this steady pulsing of the Check Engine Light light (usually one or more flashes per second) with a flicker (see above). The Check Engine Light may stay on steadily or it may flash when the vehicle is accelerated. This is very serious. There is a severe failure of the emission control system that is causing the engine to misfire to the point that the catalytic converter is damaged each time the Check Engine Light flashes. It may mean that the catalytic converter is overheating to the point that it will glow red or, in extreme cases, start a fire on the underside of the vehicle. Immediately pull over to a safe place and have your vehicle towed to an automotive diagnostician for repair. Vehicles can be severely damaged and even destroyed by fire if this condition is ignored for too long.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

It depends on the model. Follow this link http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/mobil_au/ and fill out the details and it will give the correct type of oil to use. It should also tell you in the users manual if you have one.

That could be two separate issues, UNLESS the ignition switch is bad. Or if you have a theft alarm system installed, that could be the problem. How did you verify the injectors are not working? If you pull off a connector to one injector, and using. a testlight, probe the two terminals to the injector. With key in on position, one of the terminals should have a steady light-verifying the injector drive circuit is working. The other terminal is the ground circt for the injector. If no light, the circuit from the ignition switch to the injectors will have to be diagnosed. I would start at the ignition switch for the problems with starting and with running. Check for power going into the switch, and for power out in both the run position and the start position. The start wire (to the starter solenoid) will only have power in start position. If the switch is working right, keep following the path to the starter solenoid, or just pull off the wire at the solenoid and see if power there when key is in start position. If power is present, the solenoid must be bad, or the starter may have a connection problem from the battery. If no power at the solenoid, diagnose the neutral start switch, as that is in the path from the switch to the solenoid.Good luck. I hope it's not the alarm immobiliser-no clue how to fix that.
