only way is to remove the side shaft and then it will drop out,the side shaft is obstructing the altenator at the bottom and the exaust system from the side.

first of all, check the fuel pump relay to see if it is going bad. if it is ok! also try this, Have a person turn key to on,, and put your hand on bottom of fuel tank. if the pump is turning on, you will feel a vibration in tank. you may have to do this a few times. the pump only turns on for a few seconds to pressurize system, or to get fuel to the engine. just keep turning key on and off to recycle fuel pump. Good-Day! Hope this helps! relay for pump may be bad.< Check this first.

The best get OBD scanner or go to Auto zone they can do and you will know whats wrong.

Look to see if you are losing coolant. . If so, it's the water pump saying goodbye.

4-way flasher or flasher for turn signals

What are endine parts?

the belt drives the alternator, not leaking poss, a/c pump poss leak but not likely,bottom pulley crank drive leak likely oil level wont show as leak is small but messy, water pump may not leak but allthough its turning it may not be working will over heat if this is the case , cam leak possible same a crank makes a mess but wont show on oil level , power steering pump leak likely will show in the fluid resovoir as is only a small reservoir, hope this helps , a good way to see where leak is fro is to clean off the area and then check soon after to see where leak starts from keep me posted if you wish

Well if it's just doing that you do need differentail fluid and you may need to check the gears inside for worn or damaged parts

i'd change the engine temperature sender unit , or just disconnect it for a while and see if the gauge symptoms disappear , if they do then change the temp sender unit,if the symptoms remain i'd say get the OBD codes read as may have a faulty dash component

The battery cover has 3 screws, taking it off is hard because the corner is partly covered by the cars body. You must pull the back up, then use some force to get that front right side up. You have side connectors on the battery, remove the black first, then the red. There are also 4 bolts on the bottom. You need to lay under the car and use a long extension to reach them. Replace with ACDelco battery using the numbers off your old one.

This is a normal condition for this model and many more. There maybe an issue with your engine oil or coolant systems. If you can flush the radiator & coolant system clean on next service & replace with a fresh quality brand of new coolant then you may have solved some of the problem. The other is if your rad fans are kicking in enough or at all. So do a stationary check in your garage. let the engine warm up on idle. Then when it reaches a heat that will kick in the fans check what the Temp-gauge is reading & make a note. You may have a weak oil pump or water pump. Check the pumps records & see if they are newish or first day. Water circulation is very important in a cars system. So in slow traffic the engine is running at low rev's & gets hot due to slow air speed through the rad. So the water pump is there to keep the pressure up at all times. It could be the No:- problem with your car. After that get an engine oil pressure test done & compare with the results data spec-sheets from its manual.

Are there any codes set in the engine or body computer?To read the body codes it would take a professional scan tool. Hope this helps

First make sure you have the right tool to remove it and try again and make sure you turn counterclockwise (yeah.. it happens), then if it is a plastic oil filter cap you can try to heat it with a hair dryer , it should do the job. Plastic cap are not supposed to get stuck ; or it was dirty when put back, or the O ring broke and the cap got stuck, if you can't take it off at all have a quick run to the garage they'll remove it for you.

If you used spray cleaner on the throttle plate or into the bore, you may have damaged the gears or motor in the throttle body. The vehicle shouldn't need any further initialization unless the throttle body has been replaced or the powertrain control module has been reprogrammed or replaced.
