Check to see if it has spark an fuel , find out what's not working first ! Ignition or fuel pump ! Pull a plug wire an stick a screw driver in the end an hold close to metal on the engine an have someone crank over the engine , if you don't have spark check for battery voltage at the coil ! does you vehicle have a tachometer ? When you crank the engine over does the tachometer move ? That's a sign the crankshaft position sensor is working or not ! Does the check engine light lit up when you turn on the key ? If it has spark ,spray some carburetor cleaner into the engine through the throttle plate . If it then tries to start you have a fuel delivery problem , fuel pump maybe ! Don't just check the fuse's that's not going to tell you a whole lot , in the time it takes you to pull fuse's an check them I would have figured out what's missing spark , fuel or compression !

SOURCE: 1997 GMC Sierra Truck Ignition Switch

its a long process,you need a steering wheel puller, once its off take the hazard button assembly out, take the turn signal loose, pull old ignition out, carefully install new one, and reverse procedure and always if u get confused i would highly recomend
a chiltons manual they explain things great

SOURCE: 1989 GMC Sierra truck doors loose

Hey there.You can purchase a door pin and bushing repair kit to tighten up the hinge area,requires removing the door to replace.If the hinge area is worn to badly,the brass bushings willnot last.Also your window crank handle is held on by a C-clip behind the handle in between the plastic shim and the handle which requires a special tool to remove or a small screwdriver to get the clip off.It is hard to see.The shaft that the handle is on are known to wear also and if thats the case you will need to have the window regulator replaced.Hope this helps.John.

SOURCE: GMC Sierra A/C Stops Cooling After Driving a Few Minutes

It sounds like you either have an condensor fan problem or low freon. The condensor fan is near the radiator. In some cases the radiator fan doubles as the condensor fan. So look there too.

My Renault scenic 2002 2.0 has a stop warning light on the dash. the car has no spark and it turns intermittently. what could be the problem. please help

Run codes for a clue to what is wrong. Turns intermittently I suppose means sometimes it cranks over and other times not, but never starts. That would likely be bad starter or solenoid. No spark can be bad crank/cam sensor, bad coil or module, bad fuel pressure/pump, bad coolant temp sensor, etc.

1995 jeep wrangler just stops running without warning.

A bad crank sensor will shut the jeep off suddenly, while driving down the road, then restart later and it repeats over and over until you replace it.

The car runs well until it gets hot ,it begins to loose power,then is stuter,then shut off. the car makes a coughing -like sound when it shuts off

could be your crank angle sensor to test .turn car on then let it warn up till it cuts out then tip cold water or hose for a couple of mins on the crank angle sensor then stop water and turn car on . if it buggard it will start as when the crank angle senors breaks or is on its way out it will start then idle for a bit then splutter run **** then stall with the cold water it instantly makes it cold again so it will start straight away and repeat the same process of stallin when warm
