Smash a window or call a locksmith.
the three bolts that you can actually get to youcan just take out, if your replacing the part, just break the part off at that point and then use a wrench to remove the last bolt and the plastic peice around it, puting it back in is cake.
you have to separate engine and transmission
IF your previous timing chain broke, you most likely got your "cam to crank" timing out of whack. If it didn't break and it wouldn't start before you changed it, your first basic steps would be to make sure your engine is getting fuel, spark, and air.
It will be as reliable as any sixteen year old car can be. Anything could break on any day.It will be as reliable as any sixteen year old car can be. Anything could break on any day.
I just replaced the alternator on a 97 Sebring JXi convertible, 2.5L engine. I had to remove the four AC compressor mounting bolts so that the AC could be moved away from the engine enough to get a socket on the alternator pivot bolt. You do not need to break the compressor lines. I also removed the top mounting ear bolt and the bracket to make room to remove the alternator from the engine compartment. Of course the first thing you do is disconnect the negative battery terminal either at the battery or at the jumper cable location in the engine compartment. You also have to loosen the idler pulley and remove the belt. I removed the front right wheel and plastic cover to get to the pulley and belt. This also permits better access to the AC compressor bolts. I found it easier to get the alternator free before I disconnected the electrical wires.
from below the engine, on the right side you will see the sensor. be careful of the clip on the wire or you might break it. from below the engine, on the right side you will see the sensor. be careful of the clip on the wire or you might break it.
interference engine--don't let the timing belt break, or you will incur serious engine damage! also, better replace the water pump at the same time you replace the timing belt.
Oh, a lot; 4 figures. You have to completely break the engine down to replace a rear main seal.
The PCV valve is on the drivers side of engine, just behind the intake for the air. There is a long black tube running under the intake, along the valley cover, and the PCV is just plugged into that. Just unplug it and replace it. The black tube is some type of phenolic plastic, be careful with it or you may break it. I had one which was broken and leaking oil on top of engine, replaced it with oil-resistant rubber tube, works well. AJ
hi, I believe the PVC valve is on the rt side of the engine, it plugs into one of the valve covers. I believe the fuel filter is above the tank on that one, just be careful not to break off the plastic tips on the fuel pump when changing filters. If I'm correct, you'll need to lower the tank some to get to the filter.
No, you cannot tell if it is about to break or not. You just replace it every 90,000 miles. You also need to replace the balance shaft belt at the same time. Your engine is an interference engine. As such if the belt breaks, serious engine damage will occur. Do not neglect this repair.
