Go to AutoZone or Kragen and get a $9.00 bottle of PASS ANY SMOG TEST or double
your money back (keep your receipt). You just pour it into your gas tank at a FILL UP and run
that gas down then refill your tank and take your Smog Test. It will pass. What state are you in??
What are your smog test numbers??

the horn is located behind the bumper, you will need a test light to test for voltage at teh horn connections, if there is 12 volts at horn connections, this means th horn is faulty.
if the horn is okay, check the horn relay - and if that is okay it could be the horn pad inside the car.
But it will most likely be the horn itself that is faulty.
Ask your local garage / mechanic if you are lost!!!

you could always jam the flywheel with a bolt inserted between the ring gear and the transmission housing, be sure to tie the bolt to something outside the engine so when it falls in the housing you can retrieve it back without ease. or you can always bring it to me. my email [email protected]

Hi,

The headlights just might be a fuse/relay problem, switch or wiring. It would be needed to check for the presence of +12VDC from the fuse, headlight switch, relay, 3 terminal connector. Of course the bulbs themselves must be checked.

Taillight gone on braking indicates loose ground on the rearlight assembly. A temporary workaround is to provide another grounding screwed to the body of the car.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Question moved to 'make and model' for the engine. No that is the last thing it is likely to be! It was working before, why would it fail because you changed the valves? Did you carefully lap the new valves with grinding paste to make sure they sealed? Are they all opening a closing. Is the gap correct? Can you do a compression test?

OK, so they do work, just not when using low beams. That indicates something to do with the headlight switch itself. It controls all lighting and could have an issue when low beams are turned on preventing the gauge/console lights from working. The switch is available aftermarket, I checked on one without fog lights on eBay and found one for around 33.00 shipped free. Pretty easy to replace, just remove the covers on the steering wheel and it's plug-n-play. Best of luck:)
