Remove lock cylinder from trunk

Depending on the vehicle, there is probably a U shaped slide clip that holds the lock cylinder to the body of the vehicle. It simply slides onto the cylinder against the deck lid. It should have a lip on the opposite side of the U opening to grip in order to slide it off.

1992 Chevy Lumina will not start when temp is below 0 degrees

Try changing the fuel filter, water trapped in it can freeze. Its a 92 and probably time for a fuel pump. They don't like water either.(Meythonol Fuel) Always change fuel filter when adding antifreeze to fuel

When I go to put gas in car the gas tank has a lot of pressure in the tank. If I had to guess I would say it hisses for 3-5 sec

Some pressure is normal, but this does seem excessive. Try new gas cap.

My turn signal quit working i checked the fuses and the bulbs and put a new turn signal switch in it and the turn signals still aren't working what else could it be

Usually when you get at the turn switch, you can use a jumper wire to bypass the turn switch and make the turn signals dance. If they won't work with the jumper, the problem isn't the turn switch. Maybe a problem with flasher or wiring issue in steering column? Did you check for voltage at the turn fuse? Goes hot with the key on. Use a test light to check for voltage. 25780866-lau1zqsu30sagf3hzuereu2d-5-0.jpg

How to use slim Jim on 1992 Chevrolet. Lumina

Unless you have seen the inside of the door this is a guessing game but it can be done by feel. Place the slim jim in the middle of the window between the wiper and the glass. Put it as far down as you can and slide it around until you feel the mechanism. From there it is gently pulling, sliding and caressing it until it pops. If you can see the manual lock on the inside then you can watch for the to jiggle and you know you are in the right spot.

1992 Chevy Lumina euro 3.1 liter enginecar has been running and runs real well every now and then you wont to start. I spray starting fluid in it and it starts runs real well this is happen about 10 t

its and old car, and id bet never once tuned up in last decade. did i guess right? no spark, well, it takes spark at all cylinders not 1. is spark good out of coil to distributor top? if not, then we insert the diagnostic jumper to the DLC port OBD1 ECU, back in 92. (old systems) then crank for 5 seconds then release key then watch the ECU tell you why it fails to make sparks. the cmp sensor instigates spark. think of dummer boy in band then the ECU sees that and creates all spark. via the IGNITOR, the IGNitor charges the spark coil and BAM spark , if the cmp (sensor) or ignitor fails the ecu sees that and reports it, all you do is LOOK.

1992Chevy Lumina euro 3.1 enginestarted about 10 different times in last 3 weeks I had to use starting fluid would start now this morning it won't start check the spark plug for spark no spark what's

Two possibilities. The crank sensor, located behind the harmonic balancer. (Lowest pulley on the engine). Usually they work or don't. Rarely have I seen intermittent problems on these. Bad plug connection or cranked sensor. Second would be the ignition module, this is under the coil packs. These do cause more of a hit miss problem. First , there are three plugs on it. Unplug them and plug them back in. This helps for corrosion problems. Also the plug on the right side (as you stand in front of it) leads down to a sensor on the block. This wire can get to close to the exhaust and burn/short out. Check it closely. Have the codes read. this will point you in the right direction. If the wires and plugs check out, My guess would be the ignition module.
