check intake for vaccum leaks,the gasket also and egr valve, thats alot of parts to have replaced without diagnosing first, if there are no fuel leaks and you said all injectors were replaced then you have a defective fuel pump, also these engines had misfire problem because of dirty injector but you replaced them so count that out. good luck.

Sounds like worn clutches, more than likely the transmission needs rebuilt or replaced.

Have the computer scanned for codes. If the light is on there are codes in the system. This will make it much easier to figure out. Your local cal parts store may be able to get those codes for you. often times for free. DO NOT BUT ANYTHING THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! Post the codes in the comments below and I'll help you get this figured out. Other options for getting codes. OBDII code readers are available just about anywhere that sells tools or parts. A basic one will run you about $100. your local repair shop will likely have a menu priced diagnostic fee. This includes pulling codes and testing of components to pinpoint the failure. You can figure about $100 for this service. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Yes they should pop right on and off, but be careful taking them off they could brakes

If the noise is affected by the fan speed, it's most likely the blower motor.

This should help. If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

I only know English

Not turning off with the switch is usually caused by a faulty park switch in the wiper motor.

my be the alternator - mine went out and all the gauges and stuff quit working had to have it jumped twice to get it back to parts store so I could change alternator - may want to have that checked!!

Man...that can be a lot of things Jeff. Need more info. When does it overheat? Highway, or any type of traffic, or sitting still. How bad? Does it boil over or the guage just says its hot? How old is the radiator cap? Has the cooling system been serviced by someone competent? Thermostat ever serviced? There are more but these would help.

What is your question? You should not operate a vehicle that overheats. You should not put just plain water in a cooling system for a car. You can see the leak? You should get it fixed before any more damage happens to the engine. Failure to keep the engine cool can cause a host of problems and none of them are cheap to fix.

Thinking the top motor mounts ? Open the hood,so you can see the top of the engine while sitting in the drivers seat,start the engine,put it in drive ,while watching,then neutral,then reverse,if the engine moves more than about 2 inches there is a bad mount,makes the throttle cable pull.

if it moves alot but no clunking, probably a worn bushing. If clunking, bushing worn right out, or mount broken.

Transverse mounted engines have four mounts and they are easy to locate. put the front of you car on jackstands, block the back wheels, put on the parking brake with the trans in park, get under the car and have a look.

which motor mount are you trying to locate?

Take the car to Auto Zone and ask for ALDL check engine light and a print out

I`ve done them with and without anti-seize and never had a problem either way. the proper torque is the important thing. for these and most engines I just tighten them by feel but when I have used a torque wrench torque then to 15-18ftlbs.

Shop manual has all this info.
