its called named that symptom. basically everythign i see wrong with the car you get to name that symptom.

ok
so when ever i turn my turn signals on the lights flicker really really slowly

also my speedo jumps up and down crazy while im gaining speed

sometimes i have to turn the car on 3 times to get it moving like it turns off and then i turn it on and it starts and imediatly turns off

when i drive at high speed there is a wind sweeping noise comeing from the passanger side. its annoying i think its from the window sill cause when i roll the window down a lil it goes away

my power mirrors dont work

my driver door has to be locked with a key but my other doors lock with the power lock

my driver window rolls all the way down if i press the button once

ummm
there is a squeking noise every time i the car moves if i sit it it there is a squeing noise its really annoying

ummmmm
oh my hood has to be banged on and push on it then go into the car and pull the latch to get it to open.

Also normal, keeps you from locking your keys in the car

Try some WD 40 on your hood latch and hood release cable

Clean your grounds starting with the battery cables for the dim light flicker with TS on, sometimes they do it anyway... not normal but a characteristic of these cars.

Check to see if your windshield moulding/rubber is twisting up or leaving a gap anywhere for that air noise. See if hood is closing right too, check gap distance around the cowl and fenders. Passenger door weatherstrip torn anywhere?

Pull speedo cable off on both ends and put a dab of grease on the cable. Likley do the speedo head side first and try it.

Fix that belt yet? if it sqeaks only when you move a little, check your brake pad wear indicators

dont know what to say about the starting rituals you have to do, guess im disqualified from the game

I'm not sure you know this so I will chime in.
Lift the handle while locking driver door to lock all doors. You can also pull on the inside lever also (while locking)

No big expense dude, grease could even be vaseline , but it will melt in 90+ temps , so speedo cable grease I guess , your not gonna need but a dab anyway.

so when ever i turn my turn signals on the lights flicker really really slowly

This could be several things, poor grounds, alt not charging properly, corroded battery terminals, or a poor battery. If the lights dim only slightly, I wouldn't worry, those turn signals pull a decent amount of juice.


also my speedo jumps up and down crazy while im gaining speed

In the 0-25 range, right? Inside the speedo there is a magnet that is driven by the cable which passes by another magnet. The more frequently the magnet passes the higher it raises the needle. After every pass a spring tries to return the needle to 0. This is what causes the pulsations. To counteract this they put some heavy grease in the needle pivot to slow down the needle. The only way to fix this is to re-grease the pivot, which is easier said than done.


sometimes i have to turn the car on 3 times to get it moving like it turns off and then i turn it on and it starts and imediatly turns off

Sounds like an ignition switch, but I could be wrong. More detailed explanation with this one.



when i drive at high speed there is a wind sweeping noise comeing from the passanger side. its annoying i think its from the window sill cause when i roll the window down a lil it goes away
my power mirrors dont work

Old weather stripping, door or window not closing properly. Have someone feel for moving air while you are driving.



my driver door has to be locked with a key but my other doors lock with the power lock

That's normal. It will lock only when the door is closed or (and not many know this) when you pull on the inside handle and lock it.



my driver window rolls all the way down if i press the button once
ummm

Also normal. When you push down there is a detent, if you go past it the window automatically goes all the way down. If you want the window to go down just part way, don't push the button all the way.



there is a squeking noise every time i the car moves if i sit it it there is a squeing noise its really annoying
ummmmm

Something in the suspension, probably an upper control arm ball joint or it's bushings. Have someone push down on the car while you feel the various components for vibration.



oh my hood has to be banged on and push on it then go into the car and pull the latch to get it to open.
i think thats it for now

As mentioned earlier WD-40 on the latch. Also try screwing those rubber stoppers on either side of the radiator up a bit. They will help push the hood up when the latch is pulled.

Since this is a game, do I win? :lol:

Probably need a new flasher. They go for like $10 or $12, or next to (if not) nothing at the j/y.

Those problems don't sound like enough to sell the car and most would be an cheap and easy fix if you did it yourself.

well you're naming the symptoms.. we're telling you the cause :p

yeah that happens to me sometimes.. i think it's cause the front of my mirror isn't 100% flush with the window. i notice if i switch the fresh/rec setting (dunno which one solves it) it goes away without opening the window

my speedo does that jumping crap, it needs a new cable

starting problem, might be a vacuum, fuel or timing issue

to lock the driver door without a key, pull either the inner or outer door handle up and hold, push the lock down at the same time.

your hood latch might need to be disassembled and lubed, or the spring may be defective and in need of replacement to work correctly.
