you have to hammer the studs through the spindle to get them out. then **** the new ones in with a nut and lots of washers. put grease on the washers and threads before you **** the studs in.

check your battrey. alternator. fuseable link wire going from the starter to the alternator. check battrey connections. spark plugs. and pulg wires

You need a new carburator . Also tell him to change the cylinder gaskets.

Rate this please.

You'll need a handheld tachometer or tach/dwell meter if your car does not have a tachometer.

Start by adjusting the idle screw to the correct speed (do this with the car running) allow a few seconds between adjustments for changes to take effect. I don't know the specific speed for your car, but 800-900rpms is a good catch-all setting.

Next adjust the mixture screw open. Your idle speed will gradually increase as you open the mixture screw. Again, allow a few seconds between adjustments to check the results. I like to count the turns of the screw as I make them. I will usually make adjustments 1/4 turn at a time and count, so that if I adjust too far I can go back to a setting that I know worked.

Continue to adjust your mixture until it no longer causes the idle speed to increase, then take it back about 1/8th of a turn.

Now readjust your idle screw back down into the 800-900 range.

A word of advise before you start- carb tuning is pretty much last resort when troubleshooting your vehicle. In order, you should make sure all of the following is done first:

Visually inspect all vacuum lines for cracks, holes, or disconnections.

Check ignition components (plugs, wires, etc) I will check the wires by letting the car idle and misting water around the wires. (using an old pump hairspray bottle or water bottle, etc) Watch for a little fireworks show. This is easiest to see when it is at least partially dark in your work area.

Next check to make sure your ignition timing is within spec.

Hi there.Your fuel filter is under the intake.If you look through the intake standing on the passenger side down at the motor you'll see it between the intake and the motor.You'll have to get at it threw the front of the intake.Its quite tight but and will take some time..

try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you

this is probably late. but I'll answer it anyway. I am not familiar with the car, but the starter is always mounted on the engine where the engine and the transmission but up. in FWD vehicles its normally in front looking from the front of the car. most of the time its only two bolts holding it on. when you find it check a few things first.

check for excessive oil on the starter. oil will damage the windings in the starter. if your engine leaks copious amounts of oil, your starter might have gotten drenched.

also check the electrical connection. make sure they are not burned up, and follow the wires and make sure there are no rips or tears in the coating.

i hope this helps

75 lbs.. good luck..keith..

does it need plus and point and wires

Locate the brake switch up above the brake pedal. Push in on plunger and check if brake lights go out. This switch can be unplugged and removed from its spot at the pedal. Then you can pull out plunger and reset it, put back in its spot, and let pedal readjust to the appropriate travel. It should automatically set to correct stroke length after pulling plunger outward to its furthest length. If this switch, or its adjustment is not to blame, post again. I will help more if needed.

Thanks, I hope this helps. TT

check timing, check firing order, 1342- direction of rotation clockwise, check fuel filter free of water, if that dose not help, tell us about timing belt condition and if there is oil mix with water in side engine, good luck.

went and got a manaul

on transmission back side of motor towards firewall

have you checked the fuel filter?

What you probably have...is a worn out fuel gauge sending unit. It is not worth the trouble to fix this unless you can do it yourself, or have someone fix it for free ( a brother or relative) If it works at 1/4 of a tank, then that is all you really need so that you don't run out of gas. The sender is a coil of fine wire wrapped around a small fiber or plastic wafer. Then there is an electric contact that slides along this coil and the resistance changes in proportion to level of fuel in the tank. This allows a variable signal to be sent to your fuel gauge in the dash, that corresponds to the level of fuel in the tank. The contact, and the coil are both metal, which wear out after time. Sorry.
