There should be a little door on the lower left near the steering wheel. It should have a little lip there. Just pull carefully and it should come off.

Agree with Ray but would like to add that as the gas bleeds off the pressure drops and the gas in the line which is in a hot engine compartment turns to vapor in the line and that means you have to get the pressure back up before you have liquid gas to start the engine. Will firestone put a pressure guage on the fuel system to check if the new pump has a faulty check valve to check Ray and my answer.

Why not just check every fuse one at a time to see if any are bad?

the fan motor is going to need replacing. u have to take out the fan assembly along with the reservoir and the pump.

Check your owners manual under Warnings audible and see what things are listed to to cause a warning tone it could be a faulty seat beat buckle, to low brake pressure. You have options 1 have it checked 2 turn the radio up high 3 ignore it 4 trade in. Good luck with this decision.

There are a few reasons to limit RPM which can be a "Limp home" mode activating. But most show a code of some sort with a dash light. Another area is the automatic braking for the "Traction control" which in some models can also have a control to throttle the engine down to prevent wheel slippage. Blocked catalytic converters can limit RPM by choking the exhaust flow. You have crankshaft and camshaft sensors which count the RPM and send signals to the brain and the fuelpump. Your crankshaft sensor regulates the fuel pressure and if it miscounts, the engine can be fuel starved. Not all scanners are the same. One that reports fuel pressure while simultaneously reporting RPM would be something to know for fuel starvation. You can kind of eliminate some possibilities by whether "Check engine" or "Traction control" warnings are on.

Wrong kind of spark plugs.

Fuel pumps outside the gas tank have nothing to do with fuel gauge readings. There is a fuel level sender unit inside the tank with a float which supplys variable ground circuit to the gauge. If you can find the wire to this unit, you can ground it to see if the gauge now goes to full. If so, sender unit in tank is bad, or has bad wiring/ground.

hope this helps

When you say ignition that opens a wide door of things so I am going to asume you mean the ignition switch and I hope this is what you are looking for. That fuse is located in the trunk of the vehicle in the power distribution box back there (see picture below). The fuse you may be looking for will be in the number 22 position in that box (see other picture below) If by chance you have the LS with the V6 manual transmission it will be located in the number 31 position. If this is not what you are looking for you can email me at [email protected] with your make, model and year and ask for an owners manual. I will be happy to email you a copy and don't worry there is no cost to you. The manual has diagrams of all your fuse boxes in the vehicle as well as whatever else you can find in an owners manual so if you need it just let me know. I hope this helps you and good luck. Here are your pictures:

The problem is most likely a bad dual climate control valve. This component is located on the right side near the radiator under the hood. It will have several coolant hoses hooked to it and 2 silver cylinders protruding from it. You can clamp off the heater hoses at the heater core and see if both sides cool then and this will tell you that the valve is letting coolant thru when it shouldn't be.

This will narrow it down to either the valve or the control head inside the car,or wiring in between them. The only way to narrow it down further is if you have a scan tool that could access the climate control data. Have seen several of these valves cause this concern and have only seen one control head cause it.

Ok so what were you doing when the light came on, were you driving snf going around a corner. So when u stopped the car did you shut it off to see if it would stay off. Please tell me a little more.

The electronic shifter is located on the transmission itself. It is called a shift control module. If you plan to replace the shift control module, it is at least $200 and you have to match EXACTLY for that make, model, year and transmission.

If this question is not self explanitory you should take it to a professional. Body work is a specialize field and needs the tools and experience.

Should be one in a shop manual.

You need a logical approach to troubleshooting. Do you have spark to the plugs? Do you have correct fuel pressure? When was the last time it started correctly, and what have you changed since then?

Check fuses first, then check for supply voltage at switches. If the switches are in the driver's door, possible broken wire at hinge area of door.

Try starting while depressing the gas pedal. Did it start? If so, remove engine cover (if equipped), inspect vacuum hoses and lines for cracks or breaks. If need be, have an assistant to keep the car running while you also listen for hissing noise which is also an indication of a vacuum leak. Did this work?

This is usually an indication there is a problem with the transmission. If you live near an Advance auto or Autozone, they can do a quick-scan for free. They'll plug in their diagnostic to check your car's computer for any codes that would identify the issue, if the problem has stored a trouble code in the vehicle computer memory.

Faulty switch. Remove switch and test with mulitmeter.
