Can't believe alternator will not come out after hours of reaching firewall ...does the engine need to be loosened or what? 2001 Pontiac Aztec!

yes and no. it may that the button is broken or the conection is bad, or it just might need an entire new system. you might want to get all of those things checked out

SOURCE: 2001 Pontiac Aztec 3.4 liter V-6. How do you

It's not easy.
It took me four hours to change the three plugs on the rear bank, but it can be done.
The way I did it, I put the aztec up on ramps, slid underneath and followed the spark plug wires down to the plugs. I ended up working mostly by feel instead of sight.
With a lot of patience, an assortment of extensions and a swivel joint, the plugs can be changed.

An extra elbow in your right arm, and a large assortment of four letter words would also be handy to have.
Good luck!

SOURCE: looking for the thermostat location

This should be a 3400 SFI engine. the T-stat is in a tricky location. Your top radiator hose is connected to an aluminum pipe. thats the T-stat housing. the T-stat is in there where it connectes to the lower intake there are 1 bolt1 that you need to remove.and the lower on just needs to be lose. the lower hole is sloted. you have to remove the exhaust crossover shield and coolant bypass tube if you have one. its going to be a very tight fit if you leave the crossover pipe on. you can remove it. then its 1 2 3. this is alittle longer than most T-stats i would say about 1.5 hours assuming no studs on your crossover break. just be carefully to apply even pressure when removing those bolts on the exhaust pipe.

Good luck,
michael
