There are several possible reasons for your 1996 Mazda 626 running hot. It could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a failing water pump, a clogged radiator, low coolant levels, or a faulty cooling fan. It's best to have a mechanic diagnose the issue to determine the exact cause.
Hydro locking can cause serious damage to the engine if water enters the combustion chamber. Depending on the extent of the damage, it may require repairs or even engine replacement. In some cases, the damage can be repaired, but it is important to address the issue promptly to minimize potential long-term consequences.
The twilight sensor on a 2000 Corvette is typically located on the dashboard near the windshield. It is a small sensor that detects the light levels outside the vehicle and automatically adjusts the headlights and interior lighting accordingly.
You must check the coolant level in your radiator and reservoir. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating. If it's low, you may have a coolant leak that needs to be repaired. Good luck!
Reticulated pythons are huge, thick snakes. They have a pattern of black and brown that I can't easily explain, and a yellow face. Check out the photos in the related links.
Reticulated pythons should never be described as "thick," they are incredibly thin, active snakes. If a reticulated python is not thin it's likely overweight or obese. Their pattern can be described as "netted/webbed," which is where their name "reticulated" comes from. They also often have orange, silver, and greenish colors, and can be quite ornate. Each locality has slightly different appearances. I think it's also worth noting, not all reticulated pythons are huge! There are island localities that max out at only 6' in length, and being such incredibly thin snakes they won't appear as big as they really are, and someone might guess a 6' retic to be maybe 4' if it wasn't stretched out to show its length.
the library should have a shop manual for this vehicle, you can make copies of the right sections :)
If it's an older Cummins (any 5.9L model), the cheapest way is to just cut the muffler off up to the engine and run a straight pipe clear out the back. Then SCT Tune the truck and you'll be making great power and blowing plenty of that black smoke on the Prius at the stop light! If it's a newer 6.7L Cummins you will have to install a DPF Delete Kit. DPF stands for "diesel particulate filter." It catches all of the smoke and emissions that is coming from the engine. You install this pipe and the truck will be straight piped for blowing plenty of that black smoke!
Take it to auto zone or orielly part store something similar to that and have them use the machine that plugs in under the dash and select reset code. One other thing u might try is unplugging the battery for a half hour to force reset the computer. goodluck.
yes it is, this answer is coming form a certified Dodge diesel technician
No. The bolt patterns are different. You will need a transmission (904 or 727) from a small block chrysler. Also,the flexplate and or torque convertors are balanced according to the specific engine used.
I am not a mechanic by any means, but a nice mechanic at Tires Plus showed me where the Constant Relay Module was yesterday. Of course, that was after they sold me a freon boost and let me drive away without telling me that my air conditioning still did not work. I had to call back the next day to receive an estimate of $340.00 to have a new module installed. From what the mechanic showed me and told me - The module is located on the driver's side, front section of the engine compartment below the air filter. You must unclip and remove the air filter/intake cowling. Look straight down and you should see the little black box or module. You pull out the old one and install the new one, making sure that the pins match. From my reading, you probably need a screwdriver to remove the the screws holding it down. If you are handy with circuits, switches, and soldering, you may be able to repair the module itself, using a relay switch ($4.75) from Radio Shack or just a soldering iron ($ 0.00). Do an Internet search on relay switch, soldering, CCRM, Radio Shack, etc and you should find a detailed explanation of the process. Good luck, CWB
Hello bud, I think and lead to believe that IAT sensors are fitted near the air flow box area? on all or most vehicles,and it will be fitted with a jack plug,,but you probally know that? Yours Richard.
The ABS light is on because there is a problem with the system. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on. You need to have the codes read. The codes will lead you to the cause. Most auto parts stores can read the codes for you for zip.
The 1997 Chevy 1500 throttle position sensor is located on the firewall in the engine compartment. The throttle position sensor will be in the center of the firewall.
What is the trick for removing the starter, from the engine, I have the starter unbolted but has a small compartment that stops me removing it from the engine?
Its real easy. 1st Get a breaker bar (an extremely long ratchet like a torque wrench). Locate the idler pulley and the size the bolt for a socket that holds the idler pulley on the idler arm (Hint: The idler pulley is just a pulley connected to a springloaded assembly attached to your enginge block putting pressure on the serpentine belt so it is tight around all the component pulleys (alternator, power steering, crankshaft, etc. pulleys).Using the correct size socket attached to the breaker bar for leverage put the socket onto the bolt head and pull or push the bolt head of the idler puller either forward or backward (which ever way causes the tension arm to move thus moving the idler pulley so that pressure is removed from the serpentine belt). Now remove the serpentine belt. A serpentine belt diagram should be located somewhere on a decal near the radiator or some other location under the hood...if not, before you remove the serpentine belt, map out the serpentines route with pen and paper so you can put the new one on the same exact way. When putting on the new belt you will again have to position the idler pulley usig the breaker bar and socket such that you can stretch the new belt over all the component pulleys...please note...you will only have one free hand when your doing this, so make it count and be patient...you will succeed. Good luck ...maxvolt1@verizon.net
look at the air filter box and follow the big hose to the throttle body. somewhere on that hose (the biggest one) is a piece with several wires to it . that is the map sensor. be shure not to touch the spring looking things as this will kill it.
The sensor that you describe is the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, NOT the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor.
Per Ford, my 1991 Ranger XLT 3.0L v6 EFI truk does NOT have a MAP supposedly because it has a MAF. I suspect his 1990 Ranger also lacks the MAP.
The above is correct, that is the MAF sensor described by the first . On my 1990 Ranger 2.9L 4x4 Automatic, The MAP sensor is located on the firewall. It is on the passenger side of the distributor and towards the top. It is actually inside a compartment in the firewall. All you are able to see is the wiring connector that plugs into it. There is also a larger vacuum line that plugs into it.
My truck appears to have both a MAF and a MAP
I have also heard that there are some rangers out there that were made for California emissions regulations and are not equipped with either the MAF or MAP. Its either one of the other but I cant remember which one.
first thing is you need to pull off the belts, and yes all of then because the stering belt in behind the others. then there is two bolts holding the pump so remove them and then just remove the high and low pressure lines and your done.
It is on or near the receiver dryer or shiny looking thing at the right rear of the engine compartment. You need gauges to correctly add refigerant as you can overcharge it.
Check to see if the oil pressure comes back up when the engine is at running speed. If so, you're seeing evidence of main and/or rod bearing wear. Change to a heavier grade oil. If you've been using an oil with a 5 in the viscosity number, change to a 10 or even a 15. The manufacturer always recommends an oil, but that is for engines that are new. Once the bearings start to wear you need the thicker oil. That's why it's available.
I have a 93. Same setup. Start by taking the two fans off. Then the windshield washer tank, then the support bar on the left side, the the two wishbones, then the air cleaner, then take a swivel to get to the back bolt and a normal socket to get to the front one..
This is a very common issue with most Ford vehicles. The main door switch is the reason for your problem. Their door latch assemblies go bad often and when this happens it is telling the car that your door is adjar, when it isn't, which is making your dome light come on.
