should be in front and takes only two bolts and sometimes a shim that should be put back the way it was taken off

Sounds like you have one of two problems. either a clogged fuel filter( the easy one), or a fuel pump problem. The fuel pump problem could be as simple as a blown fuse, bad wire connection, or it could be a bad pump. Hope this helps.

Look for you throttle cables and where it is attached on engine. It is on the opposite side of the cables.

there are two coolant temp sensors on this car one controls the fans and one controls the temp guage in the car. one is located near the thermostat housing and the other is usually located in the block. the one near the thermostat housing usually controls the fans. also try to jumper the fan and make sure the fan is working.

The fuel pump relay is bad.

It is not the master cylinder but the small clutch cylinder on the clutch housing, Either by passing or you have air in the system.

WELL YOU NEED TO CHECK FUEL PSI AND MAS FLOW AIR SENSOR DO CHECK ENG LIGHT ON NEED TO GET CODES COULD BE CAM SENSOR OR CRANK SENSOR BUT I WOULD CHECK FOR CODES LOCAL PART STORE FOR CODE READER.GOOD LUCK

fuel pump or fuel pump relay

it take water to make the gage work . if it a head problem i would do a compression check it should be around 125 or 150 psi if a cyclinder do not read then there your problem with the head if not a head problem and compression look good and u did not run for a long time . then the head might be ok then i would change the water pump and it should be good

if u put a bulb across the contacts thhe bulb will light when cranked to show there is power there thr it on each 1 , if no light then there is no power or signal to the injectors

check the throttle position sensor,it may be stuck and it wont start unless its all the way back.Almost like trying to start it with the gas pedal down-which it will crank and crank but it wont start.

if it a carb not tb there is a couple set screws on the carb. run at 700 rpm or idel u need to put a vacum gauge on trying to get the high vacum out of it. on the carb to set the vacum what kind of carb is it these set screws control fuel and air flow when adjusted right. should be better gas saver question is 2 b or 4b carb

This can be a number of things but you can try process of elimination.

It could be:
1. Bad spark plugs, wires or rotor
2. Fuel pump ,not getting enough fuel, check and replace fuel filter
3. Not getting enough air, check filter or clog
4. Try getting a fuel injection cleaning.

Without seeing it or hands on it could be a number of things.

try checking those to start to narrow it down. And it always could be something else as well such as timing etc..

go behind the light it self there will be wires that go into the back turn the back of the light and they will come out

have you checked plugs and wires, oxygen sensor? I would start there.

change the control modul. that control voltage to the coils. it sound like it not bleeding off fast enough the control modul is under the coils. befoe changing any part remove ground off battery. befor change any coils u could of swop to see if this is still not firing

Will it come on when the passenger door is opened? or at least when you turn the interior light on with the switch on the dash? If not it could be a fuse. If it does then the switch button in the door or door jam is probably the culprit. If it does not.. Then I would suspect a fuse... A broken wire, Or the dome light needs to be replaced.. Meaning the housing itself.. A test light will tell you if you have current to the light or not with the door open... Or find where the wire meets the assembly and test or pierce the wire and see if it has current at the wire... If it has current before the assy but not where the bulbs hot wire comes in then it's the assy. If it has no current before the assemly then check the fuse... then pull the fuse and test the contacts... If none if those contacts light up the test light Then you don't have power to the fuse for that light and your problem is behind the fuse panel or a wire going to the fuse panel... Start at fuse.... If it's good and has power to both sides. Then go to the light assy itself. If it does come on when the passenger door is opened then go to the button in the door jam... If it doesn't check the wires on the back side of the assy. It's a process of elimination... but do it in this order to find it quicker

You have to pull the dash and all the lower fascia, then remove the box that houses the Heater Core Take the clamps off the heater hoses from the engine compartment side of the firewall and disconnect the heater hoses. Disconnect the bracket that holds the heater core in place from the inside of the passenger compartment (if present.) Carefully remove the heater core and discard it. Install a new heater core reversing the above steps.

This is not a low fluid problem, this a contorl motor problem. I had a 1989 Z24 conv. and the same thing happened. I replaced the motor and the top worked just fine.
