It will depend on the shop and the experience of the staff on hand. The cost can be $40 to $80+ and it can take 30 minutes to a few hours.Ê
To fix the Pontiac Sunfire if it jumped time, the timing belt has to be replaced. Then the car has to have the timing set again after the belt is replaced.
I hang out in a couple of Sunfire groups and have never heard of a V6 swap. I guess it might be "possible", but it may or may not be worth what it takes to get it done. I've wished for a long time, that Pontiac had offered a 6 cylinder engine for Sunfires.
Go buy a manual from your local parts store. Like most auto repairs, it involves multiple detailed steps. Read up on what you need to do, and which tools you'll require. After that, decide whether you have the skills, time, and tools to undertake it.
whaT KIND OF COOLANT DO I PUT IN MY 2001 PONTIAC SUNFIRE Generally, the GM model vehicles, or is this case, the sunfire, use a specific kind of coolant called DEX-cool extended life engine coolant. It is orange-ish in color and most of the time GM specific. i have a 01 sunfire, 2.2 liter myself, and on my car frame, i have a sticker that says "Use only DEX-cool engine coolant....". Hope this helps!
I have the same problem with my 2004 Sunfire. Leave the ignition on for 10 minutes. Just let it sit for 10 minutes. No shorter than that time. And Should start.
Normally caused by faulty dimmer switch.
Does the engine turn over every time you try, or does it sometimes do nothing when you turn the key?
if it has fuel injection a mechanic will have to reprogram the fuel injection for you when you run them dry they get out of sync and dont fire at the right time.
the quickest and easiest way to do it on any car is to pull the e-brake lever up until it clicks just one time.
IT probably means that ur day time running lights and head light system is bad somewhere...
I have a 2001 pontiac sunfire,and at the time I could not find the transmission.The manual said to add four quarts,and I did.How will I know if the transmission is circulating.
We need a bit more information about your problem. Does the fan work? Does the car take a long time to warm up? (possible thermostat problem) FriPilot
