OK Guys...

Here are a few things that I have going on with my car. Now that I have pretty much gone through the entire thing.

1. Fuel gage not working. Tank is full and showing empty.

2. Antenna not going up when radio is on. I'm going to put an after market radio in within a few weeks anyway, but it may be the motor?

Any suggestions on either one of these?

Resolved both of these. Gauge is working and antenna belt was broken.

Honestly, when looking to purchase any one of the vehicles with the 2.3,2.4,2.5, if there is no record of timing belt change, I would change it anyways AND the water pump just to be safe. Seriously, if it has oil in it, a GOOD timing belt and it doesn't overheat....you have a potential 1/2 million mile car.
The PCV system should be at least checked (flame trap replaced or cleaned out with a 1/16 drill bit). Dripping oil is a very good indication that the PCV is having issues.
