could be stoplight switch. located on the brake pedal arm

Hope this helped....

First of all look for anything that could be obstructing from closing. if there is nothing in the way then you can adjust by taking a big flat head screw driver and a end wrench(not sure of size, trail & error) turn retaining nut counter clock wise until it just loose, then taking the screw driver turn counter clock wise one to two turns, then give that a try to see if your hood will shut. Again trail & error. note when you have it adjusted & it works make sure you tighten the retighten the nut using the screw driver to hold in place while you tighten the nut. Hope this helps you.

There is an odd-ball procedure which may help, although you may have additional underlying problems. Under the metal air horn that contains the throttle flap; there is a groove for vacuum flow to the EGR. All that is necessary to fix this is removal of 8 bolts and replacement of a $10 gasket.Clean the groove with a screwdriver tip or anything which will help de-carbon the channel. This defect will usually create a Code, but not always and other components down-line take the blame.Other than that, it could be a crankshaft position sensor or fuel pressure regulator. When you take the car out of gear, you can restore Vacuum levels, rev the rpm to increase fuel pressure, and perhaps clean off sensor debris that is providing the wrong data.Since you did not indicate Codes or trouble lights, there are machines which can be attached to your vehicle and will record a broader range of results. The mechanic will road test your car and ask questions to your car through this machine. One name for this machine I believe was "Odessey" but new machines are made and called different things.

I assume you either have no tools or no knowledgeI can't resist saying that, because 95% of the timeyou only use a 3/8" Flair Nut Wrench, on almost allbrake tubing fittings,so there is no way you evengot involvedThe time it took to ask the question you could have walked several wrenches to the car

May even be as simple as a bad seal on gas cap. Stop in to one of the bigger autoparts stores such as Autozone, Pep Boys etc, and they will scan it for free to point you in the right direction. If code(s) doesn't give obvious fix, get back to us with code and we'll further assist you.

there is a small heater hose on the pass side rear from the firewall(heater core) to the intake manifold. the plastic manifolds have a tendency to split where the hose fitting goes into the intake. If that is where it is leaking the manifold needs replacement.

Well test the alternator first. I should think you can do that with a simple voltmeter. It should read between 12 to 14 volts. Only answer I can supply, sorry.

it needs a oil filter adapter gasket.

What fault codes are present?

According to the wiring diagram, you should have a 20amp circuit breaker and a 20amp fuse powering a window relay.

There is a switch near the latch thats attached to the body of the car. It connects directly to the motor for the latch. This is the number one cause of this problem.You could check the motor operation by removing the switch (1 Torx screw & pull it up). Then connecting 12 volt leads to the 2 contacts on the motor itself. One way it should move up the other it should go down. The 3 wire connector has both positive and negative 12 volts. The polarity switches from the position of the switch on the trunk lid by the latch.The switch is about $30 on eBay and the switch and motor are about $150. Search for trunk pulldown switch for availability and pictures.

Gas is from a leaking fuel injector

brake light switch at the pedal pivot,thought this would also affect your cruise

On a car that old, I would suspect a corroded fusiblelink, in the wiring harnessI don't have have referrence material to help youlocate those items.You still have to start buy checking the battery & it's cablesNo power to anything at all,your working your way fromthe battery to fusible links & on to fuses,to see what you do haveReally need a wiring diagram,if your into that type of understandingof electrical
