The pully for the water
The crankshaft pulley will have one big bolt in the center and it takes a lot of torque to loosen it. Once the bolt is out ( after all the belts are removed) you may need a tool called a harmonic balancer puller. It will have slots in it that you put bolts through and bolt it to the pulley, then there is one large bolt in the center that presses against the crankshaft and forces the pulley off.
Leaking antifreeze, have been told
Hello roxanna surf: My name is Roger and I will help you. The problem could be one of several problems. GM has a problem with the intake manifold gaskets leaking coolant useually external but can leak internal also. Check at the corners of the intake manifold where the manifold meets the heads. If you see green or orange drops of coolant or a slimmy build up than the intake manifold gasket is leaking. Idf the leak has been ongoing for some time and the engine has overheatedI would also look at a head gasket, warpped head or even a cracked head as a source of the problem. The engine does not like extreme heat and can have serious issues. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
How do you reset the
turn the key on, ( not start just to the on position, while on, press the brake petal 3 times all the way down, and then turn the key off, you might have to do this a couple of times, but it should reset
"Engine Oil Level Fault" on
THERE IS A SOLUTION IN YOUR MANUAL SOMTHING LIKE PUT KEY IN START POSITOIN AN PUSH GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR 5 OR 10 TIMES.
Steps to replace alternator on
Welcome to Fixya
Disconnect first the battery terminal before anything else. Remove the radiator fan shroud. The coolant must be drained before removing the radiator by loosening the drain plug on the bottom left corner of the radiator frame. The hoses are held on with pinch-style hose clamps that can be gripped with a pair of pliers and slid back on the hose for removal. Once freed from the hoses, the radiator can be unbolted from the top mounts and slid out of the frame toward the top. Uncouple the power steering pump hoses with a line wrench by turning the bolt in a counterclockwise direction. Firmly press against the tension pulley to loosen the primary drive belt. This pulley is located on the right side of the engine as the Aurora uses a transverse-mounted motor. Slide the primary drive belt off of the alternator pulley wheel and release the tension pulley. The belt will try to fall, as there is too much slack, but it can be propped up to retain its path through the other accessory pulleys. Unbolt the alternator's two top bolts with a socket wrench. It may be necessary to use a universal joint socket because of the tight clearances.Remove the alternator's third bolt from underneath the vehicle by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. Disconnect the primary positive charging wire from the alternator's output terminal by loosening the nut in a counterclockwise direction. Manipulate the alternator out of the engine compartment, taking care to not bump or harm any engine components in the process. The alternator can be worked out of the mount, then wiggled free toward the top of the motor. Replace the alternator by positioning it into the mount, then securing the charging terminal by tightening the nut in a clockwise direction. Tighten the bottom mount bolt first, then the two top bolts to secure the alternator. Replace the primary drive belt by pressing firmly on the tension pulley and sliding the belt onto the alternator's pulley wheel. It should seat into the grooves on the wheel and should become tight when the tension pulley is released.Replace the power steering pump hoses and refill the power steering pump fluid to the proper level. Replace the radiator, fan and fan shroud by securing the radiator into the frame and tightening its mount bolts. Connect the hoses and electrical fan connections. Refill the coolant system to the proper level. Reconnect the battery's main positive terminal by turning the bolt in a clockwise direction. See picture below:

I want to know where
I know there is one under the plastic intake manifold. You will have to remove it to get to the sensor though. I don't know if this one is for temp. gauge or fans or both?
My ac blows out warm
If you have a dual climate control system, it's possible that one of the actuator motors is bad.
But chances are pretty good that your freon is low. One can is probably enough to top it off.
Don't forget that this means you probably have a slow leak that needs to be repaired.
My 2002 Bonneville does the same thing. I haven't been able to find the leak yet. Fairly common on Bonnevilles and LeSabres.
