Hi,

If it is a automatic it will be on the left hand side of the engine and will also be grey or white color on the loop part.

Hope this helps.

Bad voltage regulator or weak battery.
They have alternators not generators

If the idle adjustment screw has NOT been touched or adjusted, turn the distributor slightly in either a counter clock wise or clockwise rotation until the recommended idle RPM is reached. This should get you within the ball park. The only correct way to set the timing for optimum engine performance is to use a timing light.

look for a bolt that goes from the trans side , usually tucked inboard and hard to get at

check the bulbs first,then the fuse. i have actually had cars in the shop with all three burnt out.,including the center stop light.

Drop the tranny pan...(loosen the bolts). Be prepared to allow the fluid to come out/drip out. Then remove bolts, drop the pan, wipe the pan out. Remove the old gasket. Remove old filter. Install new filter. Install new gasket. Install the pan and tighten the bolts to the specified ft/lbs. torque with a torque wrench.

Honestly, it's the transmission...bring it a shop and have an exchange done. Because you won't get all of the old fluid out, and you might as well do the whole service. Hope this is helpful.

no you will not be the first one to do it
as long as you copped it and did not run engine without oil should be okay top up to proper level put cap on should be okay
oil will blow out cap removed normal

Follow the plastic tube from air filter box to your engine. The iat is closer to the air filter box, you will see a large connector attached to sensor.

idle air control valve aicv

inside the car? probably heater core. u can try some bars leak radiator stop leak and run it for 15 minutes. This is temporary until u get it fixed

you may be able to use a 17 in rim but will need a smaller tire(sidewall)
formula: 185/65/15(maybe stock size)-195/55/16-205/45/17
if your rim size goes up-the first number(circumfrence)goes up 10/second number(sidewall size)goes down 10
you may look at a 205(or 215)/35(or 40)/17
i had a 205/45/16 on my b13 and still had room
either that or you shve the fender wells to make room

You may need to have it tightened. New belts will sometimes stretch. On Asian cars I prefer BANDO belts.

Depends on which anti-freeze is already in the car.
If it is green, use the prestone 50/50 mix.
If it is an orange color, use the prestone dex cool 50/50 mix.

were the cables really corroded sometimes even cleaning them isnt enough due to corrosion in the cable check for voltage at batt and at starter with testlight or volt meter

HI. This will require you to have the engine CPU scanned for trouble code's. This can only be administered with the assistance of a diagnostic computer scan tool. You can purchase this tool, at your local auto parts store, or you can just have the scan ran at your local auto zone parts store, free of charge. Once the diagnostic scan is administered, you will be able to isolate the issues that have caused the check engine light to illuminate.

This scan tool will display a print out code and the location of the issue, on the engine, as well. There are Many issues that will cause the engine light to illuminate, but the most common cause will be a failed monitoring sensor, or sensor harness failure(separated power wire, or ground).

Once you have the codes, kindly return to the site, and post them here. We will be able to assist with more accuracy, once the codes are posted.

Thanks..
