I mean, I click throu all these questions looking forward to answering them, but it seems that many people think there are massive amounts of mind readers answering.
Speaking from the point of view of one of the mind readers out here , id have to agree with you , it does make it a challenge to figure out just what there talking about , maybe fix-ya needs to develop a form to fill out for folks to be able to post any question , this would go miles towards getting better answers ( make, model #, year purchased, etc .) basic stuff like that
Yeah, I agree.The site seems like a good Idea. You may get better information as opposed to a search engine, but its tough to figure what people want when they cant spell or convey enough information.

A compression tester is not that expensive (under $50)
You take out the spark plug (preferably all of the spark plugs at the same time, make sure to mark which wire goes to what cylinder), screw the tester in, and turn the motor over a few times with the key (you do not want to start the motor, just crank it over a few times).
Write down the results of the test.
Repeat the procedure for each of the 4 cylinders.
Once you have the results, compare them to factory specifications (they should be at least 135 to 165 lbs each).
The head gasket is between the cylinder block, and the head of the motor.
Replacing the head gasket is a fairly major job. You have to tear down most of the motor. If you have never done major motor work, it is probably best left to a shop to do the job.
I can't say exactly what it would cost, but it is not going to be inexpensive.
And this is still hoping that it is just the gasket, and not a major break in the head or the block.
If the head or the block is cracked, you will be looking at replacing the motor.
But from everything you mentioned in the original question, this is a big job.

SOURCE: right turn signal not working
if left is working then check bulbs in right side ,if bulbs ok then renew the hazard switch ,if it still doesnt work then renew the stalk control ,have wiggle of stalk to see if seems to click into place ,also check for feed coming out of stalk when right turn is selected .Then if it still doesnt work look for either the allusive magic multipurpose relay ,but if you cant find that then look for all in one does it all magical relay that covers it hiding place with fairy dust .
SOURCE: I just read an answer
I didn't initially answer your question, or even read it but I know what you are talking about. The source vacuum to the HVAC system inside the van. It attaches to a vacuum port on the left side of the engine just above valve cover attached to a bracket. They are very brittle plastic and break easily. I found it better to replace the vacuum line with small rubber line, such as washer fluid hose. Its easier to route and can be installed without bending plastic. Feed it from the left side vacuum "T" above the left valve cover, over to the heater valve on the right side in heater hose split. Its the source vacuum to inside, and if lost it defaults to the defrost mode and won't change modes.
SOURCE: there is a filter on
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the transmission filter is inside of the transmission. You have to remove the transmission pan to access the filter. It is usually 14 bolts that hold it on. While taking the pan off, transmission fluid will spill everywhere, make sure to use a large bucket. When the pan is off, the filter just pops off. After replacing the filter, make sure to replace the gasket that goes between the transmission housing, and the transmission pan.
I hope this helps, if you have any more questions please email me
