Check to see if there is a fuse for the fuel pump, then check if there is a impact shut off switch like the fords, and sometimes the fuel pump will run till after the ignition is cranked over....

P0340: Camshaft Position Sensor A - Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction- Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted - Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection - Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor - Faulty starter motor - Starting system circuit - Dead (Weak) battery

This means that the engine's PCM detected that the engine has not reached the required temperature level within a specified amount of time after starting the engine. The intent of the P0128 code is to indicate a faulty thermostat. In determining the engine did not reach a "normal" temperature, it takes into account the length of time the vehicle has been running, the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor reading, the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor reading, and the speed of the vehicle. A code P0128 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

• Low engine coolant level
• Leaking or stuck open thermostat
• Faulty cooling fan (running too much)
• Faulty coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
• Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

Past experience indicates that the most likely solution is to replace the thermostat. However here are some suggestions on troubleshooting and repairing a P0128 OBD-II code:

• Verify coolant strength & level
• Verify proper cooling fan operation (check if it's running more than it should). Replace if necessary.
• Verify proper engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor operation, replace if necessary.
• Verify proper intake air temperature (IAT) sensor operation, replace if necessary.
• If the above items check out good, replace the thermostat

you have all ready replaced the thermostat with the proper temperature opening thermostat(hopefully) and coolant sensor, you say you have to refill the coolant every 2 weeks this indicates that you either have a coolant leak that needs to be checked out and repaired or you are burning coolant which indicates a possible head gasket problem which will have to be checked. a low coolant level will set this code as there is not enough coolant in the engine to get the engine to operating temperature and stay there. these last suggestions is where I would start to look.

Albeit you may be able to show even numbers on the dial, a standard stereo will only allow odd number stations to be programmed as those are the only ones available on the standard FM frequency.

I think the rear windows are designed to only go down so far as the body design of the rear doors won`t allow them to completely go down. the doors are a different shape than the front doors.

sounds like the switch cluster

Remove air cleaner. With engine off and cool. Spray carburetor/fuel injector cleaner down intake throat, onto throttle plate while moving linkage. Let set several minutes before starting engine in order for solvent cleaner to dissipate. .

If your vehicle is equipped with a factory keyless entry system and you have the owner's manual, there should be a section in the manual describing how to change your options with your system. But if you have an aftermarket system, which I am thinking this the case, you will have to manually go into your dash under your steering wheel and cut the wire going to your horn from the security system. Once you have accessed your wiring underneath your steering wheel, there is a main harness with a bunch of wires going to the steering wheel. In this harness you will find a DARK GREEN/VIOLET small gauge wire and you should see another wire tapping into it probably coming from the security module. Just cut it off but leave the DARK GREEN/VIOLET untouched and this will eliminate the horn honks.

You may want to check inside of front drivers side wheel well - sometimes there are plastic liners that come loose and need some screws to reattach.

Timing belt indeed broke or stripped

Check fuel pressure at the motor
