98 Honda Passport laundry list of things I need to fix...

[Meech]

Well I own a 1998 Honda Passport that has around 115,600 miles on it. I have owned it for around a year and a half. Let me tell you what I know cars with higher mileage are more likely to have problems with them but it gets annoying fixing things all the time. So here is my list of things I need to fix and any thoughts from everyone on here would be greatly appreciated.

1. It just recently got very cold out (0-20*F on average) and my windshield wiper fluid will not squirt out. I have no blown fuses, fluid in the reservoir that isn't frozen, and just a few weeks ago they worked fine. I would assume some of the fluid is frozen up somewhere along the lines since neither the rear or front ones work.

2. I have heard oil consumption in Passports is normal which I am also having trouble with and it leaves no puddles or blue smoke.

3. This next condition happens more in the cold then warm weather but none the less it happens in both. When taking corners with bumps sometimes I hear like a thud or knocking noise coming from the front right more often then the front left. I know it is not my CV joints becuase I just recently put new boots on and checked the joints in the process plus I put all new upper and lower ball joints in. My guess would I need to rebuild the sway bar with new bushing and links, etc. or it might be my shocks...

4. Also when I am done driving and I go to turn my key back and pull it out of the igntion it sticks between accesories and lock (it is far enough back that it does not leave accesories on). It has done this mainly in cold weather. I checked on All-Data and they had a Technical Service Bulletin on this and the repair procedures. I checked everyting out such as the lock cylinder, shift cable (automatic), linkage, etc. and nothing was wrong. I would assume it is probably moisture in the lock cylinder so maybe if I use enough graphite oil it will help out becuase I only used a little before and it still did it but not as often and by the way after a few attempts the key will come out of the ignition.

Pretty much any ideas or help from other posters would be nice. Thanks alot in advance!

1. Take a pin or needle and run it in the holes of the squirter. also pull off the line at the squirter and turn it on and see if fluid runs out.

2. Search for sea foam and read up on the FAQ's. and watch your oil!

3. check to see if the sway bar is bumping the shock. You can rebuild but it will probably happen again shortly (if you have newer shocks it will cause this; at least mine does).

4. it could be that cable (read up on the faq's).
