I can't possibly remember the dates these things happened. I put a new (used) transmission and this one is slipping. I put more brake pads and calipers than you would use in a life time. The springs are weak in the back, but to exspensive to change. I put a new fuel pump and gas tank. I've put a new egr valve, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor, air temp sensor. I put a blinker switch and new struts because mine broke. 3 out of 4 of my doors will not open because of the handles. These are just a few of the things I wrote down or can remember. Now it will not start unless I pump the gas(it's fuel injected) and keep turning it over and over. Then I'm not sure if it will start again when I shut it off. The fuel pump is working I think, I can hear it. I bought the car used and the person put a 1989 motor into a 1991 body. These things still went wrong with the car either way. I did not check any below because I'm not sure what to check.

Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year
What owners say
My motor mounts, tie rods, and cv boots went bad. The motor mounts and tie rods I feel went out way to soon for any car. This car was given tlc before I had it b/c it was my grandma's. My passenger side door locks are working improperly. They are extremely hard to open with fingers. You have to pull the door handle from the inside usually to get it.
Rear passenger door locks are inoperative, door won't open from inside, opens from outside only.
The automatic climate control o-rings are defective, and don't allow the defroster to be used, and the rear door lock is stuck open. Tt
Power door locks intermittently fail to unlock for 2-5 minutes when ignition is turned off, occupants are unable to exit vehicle during this time.
Automatic door locks when used, will not release from any of the four doors when engine is turned off. Tt
