1994 Olds 88 water pump repair

Air pump/Smog pump and Compressor go on first, on the shaft. Power steering goes on next Altenator is the last one. After market pulleys and the above mentioned parts may change this order.. 1983 olds delta 88 royale

yes you do. place a floor jack under engine with a block of wood on top of jack to protect the engine, put just enough pressure on jack to steady engine. remove motor mount, then jack up engine a bit to take belt off. replace the belt then lower jack and attach the mount. on the mount only the outside bolts need to come off to raise engine. do not remove from engine side unless you are changing it or its bad, be carefull when raising engine, pick it up from a sturdy place, not the oil pan. have a good day !!

Water Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old. 1987-95 Vehicles EXCEPT 1995 VIN 1 ENGINE

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain cooling system into a suitable container.
3. Remove the serpentine drive belt, as outlined in Section 1 of this manual. NOTE: On some engines, removing the alternator provides better clearance for removing the water pump. For alternator removal and installation procedures, please refer to Section 2 of this manual. Fig. 1: After removing the alternator, remove the brace
   
   
4. Unfasten the water pump pulley bolts, (long bolt removed through access hole provided in the body side rail), then remove the pulley. Fig. 2: Pull the water pump pulley from the pump
   
   
5. Disconnect the radiator and heater hoses from water pump. Fig. 3: Use a screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp screws, then disconnect the hoses from the water pump
   
   
6. For 1992-95 vehicles, remove the torque axis mount, as follows:
   1. Use a suitable engine support fixture and lifting bracket to raise the engine slightly to take the weight off of the engine mounts.
   2. Remove the through-bolt from the torque axis (front) engine mount.
   3. Lift the engine with the support fixture until the power steering reservoir touches the strut tower cross brace.
   4. Loosen the bottom two bolts on the torque axis (front) engine mount.
   5. Remove the A/C line clip and top two bolts on the torque axis engine mount, then remove the mount.
   6. Remove the 2 bolts and nut attaching the engine torque axis mount bracket assembly to the front of the engine. NOTE: On some engines, when you remove the 13mm bolts, coolant will flow from the bolt holes, so make sure to position a drain pan under the pump before unfastening the bolts.
      
7. Remove the water pump attaching bolts, then remove the water pump from the vehicle. Remove and discard the gasket. Thoroughly clean the gasket mating surfaces. Fig. 4: Unfasten the water pump mounting bolts (see arrows for locations of top bolts) . . .
   Fig. 5: . . . then remove the water pump from the engine
   Fig. 6: Use a gasket scraper to carefully clean the water pump's mating surface
   Fig. 7: You can also use Scotchbrite® or equivalent non-abrasive scouring pad to clean the water pump gasket mating surface
   Fig. 8: When using a scraper to clean the gasket mating surfaces, be careful not to gouge the engine and cause leaks

   To install:
   
8. Apply a suitable sealant to the bolt threads. Fig. 10: Coat the bolt threads with a suitable sealing compound
   
   
9. Position a new gasket, then install the water pump to the engine and tighten the retaining bolts, as follows: Fig. 11: Place a new gasket on the water pump mounting surface
   
   1. For 1987-94 vehicles, tighten the long bolts to 29 ft. lbs. (39 Nm) and the short bolts to 97 inch lbs. (11 Nm).
   2. For 1995 vehicles, tighten the water pump-to-block bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) and the water pump-to-front cover bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm), plus an additional 80°rotation.
10. For 1992-95 vehicles, install the torque axis mount, as follows:
    1. Attach the torque axis engine mount bracket assembly to the front of the engine using the 2 bolts and nut. Fig. 12: Install the torque axis engine mount bracket and secure with the 2 bolts and nut
       
       
    2. Replace the 2 upper bolts previously removed from the torque axis engine mount, and attach the mount and plastic clip for the A/C lines.
    3. Tighten the 2 lower bolts that were previously loosened on the torque axis engine mount. Fig. 13: Exploded view of the torque axis engine mount and tightening specifications
       
       
    4. Adjust the engine height to align the torque mount with the torque axis mount bracket.
    5. Insert the through-bolt, attach the retaining nut and tighten to the specifications shown in the accompanying figure. Remove the engine support and lifting fixture. Fig. 14: Insert the torque axis mount bracket through-bolt
       
    
    
11. Install the water pump pulley and secure with the retaining bolts.
12. Connect the radiator and heater hoses to the water pump.
13. Install the serpentine drive belt.
14. Connect the negative battery cable.
15. Fill cooling system and check for leaks. Start the engine and allow to come to normal operating temperature. Check for leaks and top-off the coolant.

For 1994 Oldsmobile 88 3.8L SFI OHV 6cyl the Engine Control Computer is located front seating area, passenger side, under dash, mounted above kick panel.

Hope helps (remember to rate this).

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5973094-starter_replace .

Your starter location is shown below with arrows pointing to the 2 mounting bolts. Note the position of the wires on the solenoid and remove the wires first, then the starter bolts. If there are any shims as shown in second photo, please put them back with the new starter. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Removal
1. Support the vehicle on jack stands.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
2. Install the torque axis mount. See TORQUE AXIS ENGINE MOUNT .
3. Install the water pump pulley, then tighten the bolts to specifications. See TORQUE

8. Connect the battery cable, then start the engine.
9. Inspect for coolant leaks.

Disconnect Battery, Remove Serpintine Belt, Remove All Mounting Bolts At Alternator there should be 4 bolts 1 top ,1 bottom 2 back. Reverse procedure for Install

If you mean the power steering pump, it will have to be removed to access the bolt. It's just 2 bolts. You get them through the holes in the power steering pump. Just unbolt it and push it aside.

just un-screw the retainer bolt for the idler pulley. some of them are left hand thread and or require a #50 torx

First you must drain the coolant. Remove powersteering pump[keep hoses connected)this is just to make room for water pump removal so just sit it off to he side.Loosen the the water pump pulley mounting bolts, remove the drivebelt,remove the pump pulley. Remove the pump mounting bolts and pul the pump from engine.Install every thing in reverse ,but be sure to clean the mating surface of old sealer and gasket first, also be sure to use RTV gasket sealer on engine side of the new gasket.Be sure not to over/under tighten the bolts the torque specs. are 22 to 29 for the long bolts and 96 to132 for short bolts and 108 to 132 ft lb for the pulley bolts.
