Have you checked all your mounts to make sure none are broken?

SOURCE: Changing Fuel Filter in a 1988 Plymouth Reliant

It's located behind the passenger side rear wheel and looks like a round silver canister. When you buy the new one, you will know exactly what you're looking for. I takes about 10 to 15 minutes to change. Just jack up the rear end and put a drip pan on the ground for any overflow when you take it off, then pop on the new one. They should be changed on an average of every 10 to 15,000 miles.

Peace,

Chief

SOURCE: when i put my 1989

The one thing I found out about the '89 Reliant is that the AFTERMARKET motor mounts do not last on these vehicles. I finally had to bite the bullet and pay for the Chrysler OEM motor mounts, which are naturally more expensive, but I never had any shaking problems again. Peace, Chief

SOURCE: Where is the Fuel Pump in my 1988 Plymouth

It is necessary to remove the fuel tank from the vehicle to replace the fuel pump

  1. Using a hammer and a non metallic punch carefully tap lock ring counter clockwise to release pump.
  2. Remove fuel pump and 0-ring seal from tank. Discard old seal and pump inlet filter. Installation
  1. Wipe seal area of tank clean and place a new 0-ring seal in position on pump.
  2. Before installing pump always install a new filter on the end of suction tube.
  3. Position fuel pump in tank with locking ring.
  4. Using a hammer and non metallic punch drive ring around clockwise to lock pump in place. CAUTION: Extreme care should be exercised not to overtighten pump as it could leak.
  5. Install tank.

Hi,My 89' Reliant stalls when slowing down to a stop sign or parking lot.Could the cause be the fuelpump or distributer pickup?

Possibly a fuel issue, but have the pressure checked before condemning the pump. Is the gas filter good? And the air filter?

It could be an idling issue-idle too low. Check if can be raised, or if idle control motor or valve needs service. Idle should be around 750 rpm, in drive gear, maybe a bit lower, not below 650 rpm, though.

89 reliant plymouth car stall out

You're right; It sounds like fuel delivery, but start with the simplest suspects first.
Change the fuel filter(s) first, and if this doesn't get it, go for the fuel pump.

Can only give you the british name which wont mean a thing in america .Automatic gear change cable .What i often do to keep old motors running like this till i can get the right parts ,is to use some thin wire and refit the connection then wire it together ,that will work for a while till the wire rusts through ,depending what bit has broke the gearbox or the cable end but if its the cable end then i should imagine its a new cable complete
