How do you change a cabin filter in a Hyundai Sonata?
To change the cabin air filter one needs to remove the glove box first. This is reasonably simple and involves a couple of screws, the rubber glove box limit pads, and a 10mm nut. The air filter is located in the heater assembly directly behind the glove box. The filter is removed by releasing the plastic clip holding the filter and withdrawing the filter forwards. (The filter is installed like a vertical drawer.). The Hyundai web site (www.hmaservice.com) has a good description.
For a 2006, you simply slip the black ring off of the glove box clip on the right, and pull the left side of the glove box in slightly so the rubber glove box limit pad will clear it's channel. That allows the glove box to open forward and gives access to the heater assembly directly behind the glove box. The air filter holder is held in place by four plastic clips that you squeeze together in pairs to release the holder. Pull it out like a drawer. Remove the old filter by squeezing the top and bottom (or front and back, depending on how you hold it) of the filter together. This will bow the white plastic sides of the filter so that they clear the four small, black plastic protrusions from the sides of the holder that keep the filter in place. Reverse the process with the new filter and you are done. Takes about 10 minutes.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
- Open the glove box and remove the 2 rubber stop blocks from each side of the glove box.
First pull the stop block toward you (1).
Then pull the front edge in toward the inside of the glove box and pull it out to remove it (2).
- Remove the glove box damper by gently pulling the mounting pin out, then feed the mounting pin through the hole. Hold/support the glove box to prevent it from swinging wide open when the damper is removed. Lower the glove box.

For XG and Sonata produced after 3/29/03, skip to page 6.
- Remove the 4 mounting screws for the glove box.
There are 2 cap screws with 10 mm heads (1).
The other 2 screws are Phillips head sheet metal screws (2).

How do you replace the fuel filter on a Chevrolet Monte Carlo?
Releave the fuel pressure from the fuel rail schrader valve. Jack up the car and do NOT use cinder blocks. On the driver's side frame just forward of the gas tank is the fuel filter. It will require a special tool to disconnect the fuel line from the filter. Remove the filter from the bracket and install the new one. Cycle the key several times to pressure up the system. jd
What is the danger if you leave the lower intake gasket leaking on a 98 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.1L?
It will continue to get worse. If you keep all fluids full, you should be alright, but eventually the whole seal will either blow out, or make it impossible to keep the fluids in. I had the same problem on my 98, and at 135,000 miles I was putting anywhere from 4-6 quarts in per oil change, so if you plan to keep the car it is worthwhile to fix that problem.
You do you replace the air filter on the 2004 ford 350 superduty diesel?

What are the torque specs and order of tightenig on a 1986 350 Chevy intake manifold?
Cast iron heads are 30 lb/ft of torque. There is no sequence. Just tighten them all down very slowly in a criss cross pattern. In other words all at the same time.
How can you tell the difference between a bad head gasket and a bad upper intake gasket?
A pressure test on the cylinders will tell if you have a bad head gasket. If you hear a whistle sound near the intake gasket, spray WD-40 (or any type of petroleum spray) on the area and if there is a leak the engine rpms (or engine sound) should change.

How much horsepower does an AEM Cold air intake add to a 2003 Tiburon Gt?
The first mod I made to my 2003 Tib Gt was the addition of a AEM cold air intake. Before doing any mods, the Tib was put on the dyno, and WHP was 163. BHP for the V6 is 172 per Hyundai. After install, we recorded 175 WHP. The throttle response was much better with the new intake.
yes- only if no compter is present in the car/truck . o2 sensers gage the air-fuel mix. I own two 305 engines, you have to by-pass these if you want your car/truck to run strong..
Where is the MAP sensor on an 89 Ford Aerostar 3Liter fuel injection?
Nevermind I found it, just to the left of the brake drum reservoir. Thanks anyway.
What would cause the air filter on your 1994 Wrangler to be full of oil?
This is one of the most common jeep problems. There are two hoses coming off of the valve cover. One goes to the air filter box and the other one goes to the intake manifold. The one that goes to the intake manifold is a vacuum line that breaks or becomes plugged easily. When that happens the air filter fills with oil. Check to see if that line is broken, if it is not then take off the end at the valve cover and take a small pick or nail and stick it into the fitting and clean out the carbon build up.

How to change Intake Manifold Gasket on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am?
you go to a liscenced technician. its actually that easy... really...
(ADDITION)
It is possible to do this yourself. I am in theprocess of doing so on a grand am gt coupe with the 3.4 v6 60 degree engine. Be prepared for a lot of work and time if you choose to do it yourself. It is a MAJOR job but you can do it. I stress you can do it with the proper information and tools. You will need metric sockets, box end wrenches, a Chiltons or Haynes manual, someone to help and a good clean work area for removal of parts. Also use a digital camera to take pictures at each major junction point so you can refer back to them to reverse and put the engine back together. Also #2. Label every electrical wire, your firing order, headers must be replaced in exact order with their own respective rocker arms also.
With this all aside use google to find a good faq about it or use grandamgt.com forums to find a few really good posts to follow. I will let you find them and not spam the links here. Email me if you need more info.
How do you replace the air filter on 2002 ford focus SE?
Under the hood on Drivers side, remove the two clips and take out old filter. I then blew the access dust out and replaced with new filter, carefully lining the filter up so the clips pop back on easily, don't force them back on.
i just did a timing belt change on 1991 crx. according to my manual the tensioner bolt should be 33 foot pound or about 400 inch-lbs torque.make sure you use a six pointed 14mm socketso you won't round out the bolt head. since your a/c mount bolts are stationary they should be tightened about two hundred inch pound; your a/c belt should have 1/8 to 1/4 inch detent on the longest part of the belt and then tighten the nut on the pulley then tighten the adjustment screw. hope this help

How much Cost of replacing an intake manifold gasket?
Just had to do that on a '97 ford f-250 5.4L Dealer quoted $860, I was able to do it for ~$150 & solid days of aggrevation. You will want to replace other parts that you will never get to unless you remove the upper intake. So I spent a bit more on other things just to be safe.
Does a 2009 Pontiac G6 have a cabin air filter?
No it does not have a cabin filter. If you pop your glove box out you can see a spot where you have to cut a slot to basically make your own filter system. It sucks but there is no filter. Hope this helps for ya.
How do you change the breather hose to the air filter?
It depends on the make and model of your vehicle. Typically they're held on by a pair of hose clamps that you can remove using a flathead screwdriver.
