79 chrysler codoba ? don't think its a fuel problem ! I can't believe a cordoba ????????/ really ? I knew someone who had one, white w/ blue interior ! WOW ! after all these years, I need to wrap my head around this . give me a minute ! this bucking violently sounds so familiar ! I'm thinking electrical, BAD COIL, when it overheats, it comes & goes ! spark plug wires need replaced also ! what type of distributor ? replace cap / rotor ! whats in distributor , points ? electronic ? ignition module ? I'm so intune with todays cars, can't remember ! TIMING may also be an issue ! have you checked all the VACUUM HOSES ? EGR valve ? TODAYS FUEL is bad for this vehicle ! need I say more !
If you're comfy with manuals then i know few websites that can help you with it. Bcause I've bought it from various websites so I know how each site deals. try www.reliable-store.com Very helpful
Manuals that are of any use at all, are OEM & costly
You have to have one for every vehicle you own, if you
plan on working on them yourself
For about half the vehicles out there ----- Helm.Com & spend
the big bucks
Get the Powertrain Control & Emissions also,as todays cars
are all about diagnosing computer issues & drivability issues
If you were talking about an owners manua,l so you can look up
lamps/bulbs & fuses,the dealers never have had them,
they come one time with a new car & to buy one Helm.Com
or where ever your dealer tells you to go to to get one
The fault relates to the electric section and it is the ingnition unit that needs a check. You will need to check on the HT coils for the TRIGGER PULSATING VOLTAGES for the HT to be normal.
If there is absence of HT or low intensity then the ignition system is faulty. Also the trigger from these pulses feed the RPM indication and if the ingnition has fault then the RPM will be irregular.
So check this out using a multimter to confirm.
this has a electronic spark module box attached to the air cleaner.basically a computer for there was computers.replace this unit if you can find one .
no engine told at all. (i will answer for USA spec, cars only)a Generation 4 car.such an easy problem. any car the fails parked is easy to diagnose and 10x more safe to do. 2 engine, offered day1 new. which one is it.3.3 L V63.8 L V6Ever fix an engine that only fails down hill in left turns only.see?hood up.not told you, does the starter crank the engine fast when dead.?called a no crank engine, or is way too slow ,weak battery.aka. cranks fast but will not start.you have 2 hours to find it, easy no?1: we test for spark first. google how to test spark. 100 years its the same way..do not ever scramble the 6 wire coil pack wires.2: ok spark is good we use spray test fuel (in a can) called instant start in a can, does it start now?yes. but runs 3 seconds and stalls.3: fueling is bad, we just learned. if will not run step 2 that is a bad engine,easy no? just simple tests so far.next comes fuel pressure. test at the fuel rails using fuel pressure test gauge. (a tool) 55 and 49psi chart above order. spec.keep in mind it can be just 1 rusty wire, wrongnot replacing by guess 10 or 20 good parts and now broke.it can also be bad fuel or dead fuel pumpand lots and lots more, but we do the tests in orderto find the cause, and more tests. watch scotty yethttps://youtu.be/064Ilsz8Fzg
In this model, the TCM is often located near the transmission, mounted on or near the transmission housing. However, exact locations can vary slightly depending on the specific vehicle configuration. It's advisable to consult the vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic for precise information on locating the TCM in your specific vehicle.
Spare wheels are no longer required due to the torque setting to remove a wheel and the use of sealants that inflate a flat tyre for a limited period of time allowing one to get the tyre repaired/replaced.
Space saving comes straight to mind.
That is called the Exhaust Manifold. One side is attached to the side of the engine, and the other side is attached to the end of the Catalytic Converter. If the car is horrendously loud, someone has stolen it. If you can see it under the van, the gaskets just need replacing or the bolts tightening. The Cat often has a flex pipe which can split, in which case it needs replacing.
If it is a petrol engine, check the Octane of your fuel and if correct suspect the ignition timing.
Don't run it like that for long as damage may occur to the pistons.
When you say the "oil light," do you mean the light that says "Change oil" or are you seeing the red light that indicates low oil pressure? If you're seeing that red light, that likely means you have low oil pressure and should stop driving immediately, until the problem is diagnosed and repaired. It's also possible to see the oil pressure light on when there's no issue with oil pressure, if the oil pressure sender has failed or there's a connection problem.If the oil light you're referring to is the "change oil" light, you will need to manually reset it for it to disappear. Here's how (from Chrysler):1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the engine, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat these steps.
troubleshoot this further:
Check Transmission Fluid:
The first step is to inspect the transmission fluid. Low or contaminated fluid can lead to poor shifting performance. Ensure the fluid levels are adequate and replace it if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensors and Shift Solenoids:
Misaligned throttle position sensors or malfunctioning shift solenoids could be causing the gear shifting problems. These components play a crucial role in proper gear changes. A professional diagnosis is recommended. It is not unusal for a defective solenoid to render this effect.
Transmission Control Module (TCM):
The TCM manages the transmission's operation, including gear shifting. If it's malfunctioning, it can lead to incorrect or no gear shifts. Consider checking or replacing the TCM.
Shift Linkage or Cable Issues:
Damaged or worn shift linkage or cables can also cause gear shifting problems. These components connect the gear shift lever to the transmission. Inspect and replace any damaged parts.
Remember that diagnosing transmission issues usually requires professional expertise.
I found a forum post on Jeep Enthusiast Forums that provides the tightening sequence for the 3.8L upper intake plenum of a 2007 Chrysler TWC. Here are the steps:
Remove covering on lower intake manifold and clean surfaces.
Inspect manifold gasket condition. Gaskets can be re-used, if not damaged. Position new gasket in seal channel and press lightly in-place. Repeat procedure for each gasket position.
Position upper manifold on lower manifold.
Apply Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive (Medium Strength Threadlocker) to each upper intake manifold bolt.
Install and tighten bolts to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) using torque sequence.
Here is the torque sequence for the 3.8L upper intake plenum:
6 2 4
5 1 3
