Default Need Help!!!

Hello ladies and gents... I just bought a sc400 1996 and I'm having some problems with the car and would like to know if any one can help me out.

First - My heater blows air but doesn't blow hot air.

Another thing my car runs very good but at times it shuts off...

Last but not least my turn signals arent working I was wondering what could it be? maybe a fuse or so. Just dont know where to start looking.

I would start with the thermostat and see if that fixes the heat issue. Its very cheap and very easy to change and a very common cause of no heat.

As far as it randomly cutting off, thats gonna take some diagnostics.

If you havent checked the fuses for the blinkers... you should, and the relays. It cant be to complicated to fix the blinkers.

are you loosing water, if so check your heeter core, it should be located in the passenger dash directly above your ecm, it could be leaking onto the ecm and causing shorts!
