Could be getting too much fuel and flooding. Try turning your idle screw in all the way and turning it back out 1 and a half turns. If it is still flooding you will have to take off the carburetor and blow out the jets (remove the float bowl and blow out all the jets in the bottom of the carb).
You've also made no mention of compression. Check the engine compression and make sure it's up to specifications.
How do you reset a car computer or anti-theft system?
To reset the computer in a car disconnect the negative battery terminal until you her a click ( it will be about 5 mins), then it is done.
I would say you either have a rod knocking or lifter knocking. I know in the 3.8 litre motors they are known to knock alittle when you cold start them. Most Grand Ams, Grand Prixs are like this. My sister has a 2002 Grand Am that does this and the noise goes away once it's warmed up. I would also double check and make sure your oil is full. get your car to a garage for a def solution.

Where can you find the day time running light module for a 1997 dodge neon?
Most vehicles before 1997 didnt have daytime running lights. If oyu have the owners manual look it up there. They are usually under the radio and heating controls.
AnswerThe daytime running light module is behind the ashtray sounds wreid but it is back there and not to hard to get to first you take out the ashtray and Bam there it is .hope this helped.also note, that if your neon has fog lights, they can be rewired (at the switch on the dash) to be turned on manually instead of just when the headlights are on.

How to remove ignition key cylinder on a 1993 fleetwood brougham?
First I'll say is that if you are not a well seasoned tech, not an easy task to perform. Basically its positioned right below the signal switch. So if you can reach down that far into the steering column, there it is. Depress the locking plate and remove.
Why would a car stall in drive but not in reverse?
Because reverse is a lower ratio gear than drive and puts less load on the engine.
How do you check the transmission fluid on a 97 Cavalier 2.4l?
If your car is a manual transmission, then your kinda out of luck. Its a sealed compartment. You should take it to a garage and have them pull the fill plug on the tranny and have a look. But unless your car is over 200,000. Klicks or leaking don't worry about it.
If you have an automatic, run the car around the block until she is nice and warm. Park it on a flat surface, engage the hand break and leave the car in neutral with the engine running. There is a dipstick by the firewall of the engine compartment. Give that a yank, wipe it and re-insert. Pull it out and have a look. The dipstick will tell you if you need to add or not.
Good luck.
What does the indicator light with an arrow pointing down to a squiggly line mean?
It's a GM product (I'm assuming) and it means that your coolant level is low. Although if it is full, it's probably a bad sensor (Rather common with Gm on that sensor). If you call GM, they'll tell you to gently hit the sensor and it should turn off if reservoir is full.
What can cause the temperature light to come on?
Low Colant level, Bad thermostat, Bad sensor, cracked head
So, what you're saying is that your car isn't charging the battery since you changed the starter... is that right. If so, my guess is that you accidently left off or possibly even burned out the fusible link between the battery cable and the alternator. If this is the case, that's why it won't charge. So, make sure yoiu've still got a connection between the wire between your battery cable at the starter and the alternator.

How do you replace the cigaret lighter 0n a 1999 chev cavalier?
First, gain access to the back of the socket.
Unplug the wiring connector to the socket.
From the back, unscrew the sleeve holding the socket in place.
From the front, pull the socket out.
Reverse procedure to install unit.
Oops, I thought you wanted a procedure for replacing the lighter socket. To replace the lighter itself, just pull it out and push a new one in.
How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a 2000 Lexus 300?
I can speak for the Lexus '99 ES300. The instructions already provided for the '96 are very much on the mark. However, in the '99, there are only two 10mm bolts instead of three, and the turn signal assembly is fastened to the main headlighy assembly by a single phillips-head screw. After removing the splash guard, the two bolts, and the phillips-head screw, the turn signal can be CAREFULLY loosened and worked free from the fender, without fully removing the headlights. And unlike the '96, there is no clip to worry about, and no circuit board.
FOR 99' ES300 MODELS: You do not have to do the things mentioned above. The process is much easier and simpler. No need to even open the hood. All you have to do is pull the whole turn signal assembly forward. NOTE: It is important that you do NOT pull it sideways or even at an angle for it might break the plastic clip. There is only one clip holding the assembly from the frame. To start, use a screw driver or similar and insert it in the farthest part of the signal light assembly from the front. Pry gently to move the assembly forward about an inch or two to completely unlatch the plastic clip that is holding it in place. This clip is located in the middle of the assembly. Then remove the assembly still attached by the wires. Twist the lamp holder out of it's socket to replace the busted light.

How do you remove the cam cover on a '97 Grand Am Gt 2.4L Twin Cam?
It's not as easy as it should be - you have to remove all of the obvious stuff to gain access to the cover from the top. Remove serpentine belt. Jack up passenger front wheel, secure with jack stands. Remove the splash shield to gain access to the crank pulley, remove that pulley, loosen all of the timing cover bolts. Put the crank pulley retaining bolt back on crank and use it to rotate engine to top dead center (align little dots on crank and case). Then mark the chain where it meets the two cam sprockets, remove the chain tensioner (lower on the engine, near the crank). Next, remove the two cam sprockets from the cams. Then the trick is to remove all the bolts in the face of the timing cover that hold it to the block plus loosen the nuts that hold the water pump (under the exhaust manifold) to the timing cover. Don't remove the nuts entirely or you'll have trouble getting them started again (at least the one nearest the engine block). With the water pump loose enough, you should have enough clearance to get the cam cover off the top of the cam housing. You can do all of this without removing any of the engine mounts, but you will have to work with the timing cover to find just the position that it will go up over the mount and allow you to work inside the timing chain housing. I'd recommend getting a Chilton's manual - what I've stated is not working line for line from that book, but what I've figured out by using that book as a reference and doing a bit of experimenting.
Will jump starting your battery on a 2002 Cavalier cause the check engine light to come on?
Check engine lights can come on for a number of reasons. If you didn't get the cable right or got a sparks when connecting or disconnecting that could most definitely cause problems with the check engine light or even blow the alternator fuse.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable.If the vehicle is equipped with a delco loc 2 or theftlock audio system make sure to have the activation code before disconnecting the battery.
- Raise the front of the car and support it securely on jackstands.Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels.

How do you take a window crank off of a 2 door 1995 Chevy Cavalier?
You will have to separate the door panel and the crank, then shine a light in and you will see the c-clip that keeps the crank attached to the shaft if you can pry that clip off the lever will pop right off (it is kind of tricky though)
Properly-
There is a specialized 'GM Window and Door Clip Removal Tool' that will accomplish the task much easier than disassembling the door panel. It can be found in most any auto parts store and is sometimes available as a 'loaner' tool from Autozone outlets.
