scan the codes, off and warmer on the heater controls, with the key in the on position, dont replace anything else till you scan the codes


its could be your cam sensor or crank sensors for spark

did you try carb cleaner down the throttle plates for fuel?

you need to find out what the P codes are, there your PCM codes, my book doesnt go back that far and they dont look fimilar

the SO codes are suspension codes, you need a relay put in for the RSS module or a wire cut on it, is the repair

AO11 is AC I believe

ok, the map sensor is on the top of the throttle plates, its a little black rectaingle about an 1 1/2 long, easy to get to and cheap, the p109 and IO 52 is you disconnected the battery, also the IO 52 could be a relay thats under the hood, does your raido turn off when you open the door? ( ck: get in car close the doors and start car, turn on radio, turn off car pull out the key and radio should stay on, open door and radio should shut off, relay is good if this happends )

as far as the AO 11 does or did your AC work?

the RSS module is either under the drivers seat, ( you cut a wire ) or in the trunk behind the back seat, there is a panel back there thats velcroed on just pull it down, ( a relay is needed for that repair ) there is also a fuse box back there ck thoes fuses
