1.rear defrost won't work and fuse in fuse panel for the cluster is good- check the conenctor at the rear glass and see if power is getting there. If not, check the switch to see if its getting power.
2.when the car starts it will rev high then idle down.- Could be a sticky IAC valve
3.the will run good if the service engine soon light is on- Have it scanned for engine codes.
4.anti lock brake light stays on- sounds like a bad hub/bearing.
5.turn singles and haz lights can not be used for longer then a few secs of the column starts to smoke- time for a new multifunction switch I would think.
6.needs a new power steering line (the one that comes off the pump that is bolted to the pump) have the new line no idea how to get it off the the pump- I can get to mine by removing the pass. side tire and going through the wheelwell.
7.driver side door window track is bad- bad as in what? Bent? Rusted? Missing?
8.need driver side door handle- Junkyard time!
9.engine leaks anti freeze from a line that looks like it is under the battery(small leak)- No sure on this one. Not sure what motor you have, I assume the 3.1L.
10.the car also gets maybe between 10-15 mpg's last time i checked it was getting 12- this is probabaly directly related to the check engine light. You probabaly have a vacuum leak or 2, and need plugs/wires/fuel and air filter.
i also try to run 93 oct gas in it- Why? Is it supercharged? If not, you can stick w/ 89.
also any information i can get for this car would be great
