Will a 1998 jeep wrangle se 4 cylinder pull a 1500 lb pop up camper?
Yes, the Wrangler will tow up to 2,000 lbs. If your Wrangler is an Automatic, then I sugggest you install a Transmission cooler. Very cheap insurance against transmission overheating. If the camper is not equipped with some sort of braking system, then your biggest problem is stopping. The Wrangler is a short wheelbase vehicle and stopping a 3/4 ton load may be a problem, especially on a wet road. So when pulling this load be aware that you may have trouble stopping.

How do you repair an oil leak on a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier 6-cylinder intake manifold?
The lower intake on either the 2.8L V6 the 3.1L V6 or the 3.4L V6 all are the same set up lower intake gaskets are very common to leak oil at the lower intake gasket due the the fact that right below it is the push rods and lifters. if you want to get your hands dirty and attempt to do it yourself there's some work to this job and requires a good memory and cautious removal and installing habits. LET'S BEGIN: First take off the air cleaner hose then the PCV hose then unhook all throttle body cables and connector wires also the 2 coolant hoses below the throttle body as well as the upper radiator hose, then unhook the vaccum hose from the back of the upper intake manifold then remove the 3 bolts/nuts on the bracket that's in front of where the vaccum hose is that you just removed. Remove the EGR valve just take out the 3 bolts don't try messing with the steel line it'll be rusty and hard to remove without damaging. The gasket should be ok to reuse on the EGR valve as long as it doesn't get torn in the process or so replace it. Next remove the upper intake manifold the gaskets although they are paper they can be reused if not damaged. But normally its best to replace them. Next unhook the fuel rail make sure to do this so safely with the key off and the battery unhooked or the fuel pump fuse unhooked. take off both fuel lines. Next remove the wires from the injectors be careful you have to push in the on clips do not pry on them they will break. If they are hard to push in I recommend using needle nose pliers to make it easier. Next remove all bolts from fuel rail. Then evenly pull up on the fuel rail if not done cautiously injectors can be broken. A pry bar will help removal when used carefully. The O rings on the injectors if not damaged can be reused if not damaged but make sure to lube them with a light coat of grease before installation otherwise damage and possible leaks could happen. Next remove the drive belt then remove the alternator and the unhook the wires. Next remove the Power Steering Pump bolts there are 3 of them and they are behind the Power Steering Pump pulley they are 10MM bolts rotated the pulley to access each bolt for removal. There is no need to remove the Power Steering Pump hoses simply lift up the Power Steering pump and place out of the way. next remove the valve cover bolts these are torx head bolts remove all 4 on each valve cover take off the valve covers the gaskets if in good shape on the valve covers can be reused if not replace them its worth the money if you've gotten into it this far. Next remove the lower intake manifold bolts then pull up on the lower intake manifold make sure all hoses are unhooked and out of the way as well as wires. Remove old gasket and cautiously clean the gasket surface lay a rag or cloth or towel in the valley to prevent gasket material or dirt etc. from getting into the oil. Next install new lower intake gasket. Use Black RTV Silicone on the ends of the gasket to hold gasket in place. Then reassemble in reverse make sure to properly tighten all bolts and fasteners to prevent stripping or leaks due to improper torque. I am only doing this for instructional purposes and this should only be looked at like guidelines since there are differences between years and engine setups, if you are unsure of or have problems with anything after following these instructions I suggest that you take it to a mechanic.

What is included in a tune up?
A traditional tune up included a whole bunch of things no longer needed in today's cars.
A tune up as I sell and do it today: New spark plugs, check and replace air filter, replace fuel filter, test emissions (gas analyser), Scan computer for codes and to see if the oxygen sensors are in good condition, replace oxygen sensors if needed.
Please note:Most people are trying to get a drivability problem repaired with a set price tune up.This is very commonly a false economy.
Most running, and fuel economy problems are a failure rather than wear on the tune up items
It is always best to explain what problem you are trying to fix rather than ask for a tune up.

Where is the ignition control module on your 1991 Chevy Cavalier?
Mine was mounted to the back of the engine block but that is in a 93 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 4L engine, yours shouldn't be too different.
Just follow a spark plug wire from the spark plug to the other end. It will end at the ignition coil and the ignition coil is attached to the Ignition control module.
You most likely have to jack up the whole front end and get under the car to reach it like I did (it was easier), or you might be able to reach it through the top of the engine bay.

How do you replace a broken trunk lock on a 1995 Chevy Corsica when the trunk is closed?
When I saw this question, being so specific with make and model year, I thought it was strange. I also have a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica. 3 days ago my wife went to open the trunk with the key and the key simply would not turn. I tried using WD40 but could not get it to turn. I finally had to lift up on the outside of the rear seat inside the vehicle and climb through the opening behind the rear seat. I had to bend forward the corner of the seat enough to get through. Once I did this I just had to turn the latch counterclockwise with a screwdriver to get it to open. I did not realize this at first, so I simply removed the two 7/32" hex head screws that hold on the latching mechanism. This got the trunk open. I haven't had time yet to figure out how to replace the actual trunk lock.
I'd like to add to this question that we had a broken lock on a 1995 Chevy Corsica as well. The outside lock was removed (not sure if it was intentional or accidental). In order to get in the trunk we can use an opened (unfolded) nail clipper and insert the single flat edge into the small hole that's in the center of the lock. (Peer in to get a good view.) You turn the nail clipper (I believe clockwise) and the trunk pops open easily. (I suppose you could use a small flat head or small pocket knife as well - but we've always had fast, quick access with a nail clipper.) The downside is that anyone who knows how to open a trunk this way can access your trunk.
Where is the low pressure port on a 2003 Ford Explorer V6?
On top of the air conditioning accumulator "can" located on the passenger side of the engine roughly 5 inches or so from the electric fan motor for your air conditioning evaporator coil/heater coil. It has a plastic dust cap covering the valve.

How do you change the alternator on a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder?
for clearance raise vehicle on jack stands. disconnect neg batt cable, remove all wires from alternator, remove drive belt, remove adjusting and mounting bolts, then remove alternator from below. install is reverse order of removal. be sure to label wires for easier replacement.
Actually the term should be Valves cover. It does exactly what the term suggests. It covers the valve-train components. It prevents anything such as dirt and debris from entering the system and keeps the oil that is supplying lubrication to the valve-train from being splashed into the engine compartment.
How do take a transmission out of a Chevy Cavalier?
first thing you wanna do is suspend the front end, drain the transmission, remove the wheels, brake assembly, steering knuckle "DONT TURN IT OR WHEN YOU PUT BACK ON ALLIGNMENT WILL BE OFF" carefully remove the cvs from the transmission support the engine with a jack, unbolt the trnsmission mounts and bell to engine bolts. remove shift cables and wiring then carefully lower the trans to the ground and then you have access to the clutch re installation is reverse remember to torque the bolts to manufacturers specs.
Could be several things,
First try a few shims between the engine and the starter, if that doesn't work, change the starter.
Just a suggestion.

On a 1995 Chevy cavalier the radiator fan does not work what should you do?
Double-check first by turning on the air conditioning. The fan should come on immediately.
Use a volt light or multimeter and check that there is voltage on the switch (relay). On a 95 Chevy Cavalier, the relay is under the hood inside a black fusebox. The location is labeled "COOLING FAN" on top of the fuse box. The black cover pops off, and the relay can be unplugged easily. Pop out the relay and check the contacts it plugs into to see if there is voltage. There is a schematic on the side of the relay showing which pins (30, 85, 86, 87) do what.
Make sure the fan works by shorting pins 30 and 87, where the relay switch would normally short. The fan should spin up. If it doesn't, then the problem is the fan.
Otherwise it's a problem with the relay or the sensor?
