20 Most Recent 1984 Dodge Colt Questions & Answers

If it has a main fuse it will already be there in a holder on the positive battery terminal. Because of the age of the vehicle, there isn't that much on it. https://www.justanswer.com/dodge/176b9-1989-dodge-colt-hatchback-1-5l-mfi.html and this on Fixya already https://www.fixya.com/cars/t12614302-fuse_box_locate_d_in_94_dodge_colt ..

what your describing is bleed down. Usually it's a stuck open injector that is allowing the system to bleed down requiring you to turn the key on and off to recharge the fuel system with fuel. before it starts. A shop can verify which one or more is the culprit.

if this has a distributor the sensor is in the distributor.

Open the bleeder on the caliper, then using a large C clamp, clamp it onto the back of the caliper and the middle of the front pad. Tighten it to force the caliper piston back into the housing. If its really stuck you may need to use a bar on the C lamp handle to give you more leverage to get it moving. If the guides are really rusted try soaking with WD40 to free them up before applying pressure..

It has an electric fuel pump in the fuel tank that depends on the fuel it is immersed in for lubrication and cooling, by running out of gas you have likely burned out the pump.

You don't have the tension right. Belt should be tight when tensioned, tight enough that it can't slip. I'm not familiar with this engine, but you need to find the belt tightening procedure. Go to autozone.com, register for free, giving make, model, year, and engine size. When registered, look under "repair guides" for timing belt R&R procedure.

Don't know how it could keep jumping time, unless the camshaft sprocket has badly worn cogs or teeth, or the tension is too loose. Can you get it reset, and then run the engine with the timing belt covers off? That way, you might be able to see what is causing it to lose timing.

here you go.

-Do what you can. Deference people do little different.Good LuckMai

if you remove the spark plugs and move the distributor cap so you can see the direction of rotation have someone crank the motor over is short bursts noting direction of rotation of the rotor and put your finger over the #1plug hole.when #1 comes up to top dead center you will feel pressure against it and hear a compression sound.then you can look into the cylinder and turn over the motor by hand and watch the piston rise in the cylinder until its at the top and doesn`t start to move down.this will be close enough.note were the rotor is pointing and this will be were #1 is on the distributor cap.then install the other wires in the direction of the rotor turning in the proper firing order.the order should be 1-3-4-2.

Most likely cause is your fan is not working properly.

If you have a serpintine belt you have a tenison pully. sorry do diagram but should be one under your hood somewhere, good luck to you.
