Removing a heater core from a 2005 monte carlo ss 3800 series

SOURCE: 2000 monte carlo ss 3800

3800's are really good motors, but that's a sign of fuel injector problems. I've seen this all to many times. Run some injector cleaner through it and see if cleans up.

One question however, does it stall out and have a problem restarting? Black smoke out of the exhaust? This is sign of an EGR valve problem that may be fixable simply with a nice cleaning.

I'd try the injector cleaner first, and if it continues, go onto the EGR valve. If this shows no problem, it may be a good time to take the car to a mechanic and have the injectors tested. They may be failing but not giving out a fault indicator.

The fuel filter is located in the pressure line that runs from the fuel tank to the engine, near to the fuel tank.
Keep the engine off for few hours before replacing the filter, to get rid of some pressure in the lines.

If the switch lights up when you turn it on but the seat doesnt get hot, it is most likely the heating element in the seat. If the switch doesnt light up, you have a power or ground issue.

SOURCE: How do you remove the radio on a 2004 Monte Carlo

Begin sitting in the front passenger seat. Open the glove box. Find the screw attached to the dash board (on the left). Remove that screw. Move to the drivers seat. Remove the narrow panel that holds the light bulb below the steering wheel. There are two plastic clips that hold that piece on the car. Removing that panel reveals a few Phillips head screws. Remove those screws. With the drivers door open, locate the fuse panel. Remove that panel. You will see a few screws there, remove the lower one (or two, I can't remember for sure). Next, tilt the steering wheel as low as you can get it. Slowly (using your hands only) pry the panel just above the steering wheel outward toward yourself. Slowly move toward the radio pulling the panel toward yourself. Once you have freed the large panel, fish your hand in behind it to disconnect the hazard button (This is a must!!!). Once that has been disconnected, pull up on the panel to move it past the steering wheel (it is a tight fit). Once that it done, there are two screws holding the radio in the dash. Remove those screws as well as the radio antennae plug and the two wiring clips in the rear of the radio.
