I have a 97 850 T-5 and ever since I paid the dang thing off, its been giving me fits. The most important just started. I cranked her up and noticed a grumbling in the RPM's at idle. It smoothed out some and after stopping, it wouldn't start again. Just turned over but wouldn't start. It was warm, so its not the cold start, could it be something in the injectors or something simpler (I hope)?

Secondly, what is normally a flame throwing heater, now blows cold air out of the center vents and there is a faint oder of anti-freeze. The outsides are stil warm (not hot) and the fan is working but no heat. Stuck thermostat or a heater core?? any ideas??

Lastly, I am getting a vibration which seems to be coming from the rear of the car that increases at speed and will actually shake the steering wheel on a decent at about 65 mph. YES, the tires have been balanced and re-balanced. Could a warped rotor cause this? What else?

Don't get me started on the cruise control, ABS light and door lock remote.

Its a great car and hasn't given me a stitch of problems till just recently but now it seems like the functional obsolesence (76k miles) is kicking in big time. HELP>

thanks.
