Buick Skylark

first drain the fuild then locate the tremostat housing remove the return hose which is top port on raditor. Unbolt the housing romove old gasket lay gasket sealent on the gasket both side but make sure you already remove the termostat and replace with new and then install gasket then tighten the housing hand tight install hose to the termostat housing a tighten the clamp for the hoses and replace fuild that was been removed or reuse if not dirty and start and run car or truck at idle speed and check for leaks

I have a '92. The low side port for charging the system is under the car, just to the left of center if facing the front. You'll see it if you look hard enough. It's right near the front of the oil pan.

I'd suggest getting a good used engine that is exactly the same as original from a wrecking/recycling yard. If the unit had a 3.1 L V6 replace it with the same engine to minimize fitment issues.

you do not have to prime them just turn the key on for few secounds without starting the car and let the fuel pump run for a few mins then do it again then start the car you should not have to bleed them as i did not on my car when i took everything off to do a head gasket and im a ase certified technician

Remember that there is no such thing as a "normal" leak. Sometimes water condensation will build-up on the AC pipes and drip-off, but there's not a "leak" involved. Get your manifold gasket replaced ASAP. It costs money but it's worth it. I've had mine replaced about 5 years ago and it still runs great.

Raise the froth of your car. Drain the radiator. Remove the heater tube from firewall and loosen the hose clamps. Lower the vehicle after draining the antifreeze. Locate the heater core and remove the mounting clamps. Remove the heater core and replace it.

a 1991 buick skylark has 4" speakers in the dash and 6x9's in back

use a section of 5 ft hose and suck on it till gas comes out to syphon

Fixed it! The PROM chip in the computer was not getting a good connection. The previous owner spent $1000 to fix it, I guess he took it to the wrong shop?!

Check the fuse box. There is an "Alarm" fuse.

Get a Chilton's or Haynes repair book. Amazon or eBay should still have them and dirt cheap too.

On my 1990 Euro it sits right on top of the engine at the firewall, passenger side. There should be 3, possibly 4 bolts to remove it. 1 is in the back of the alternator, (10mm) and the other 2 or 3 are toward the bottom on the block in the front. All are easy to get to. Also, be sure to remove the wires from the back and the remove the plug. It would be a VERY good idea to disconnect the negative battery cable also! It's not a hard job. You can probably do it in less than an hour eaisly. And that's taking the old one off and installing the new one! I have had to do this a few times when I change the 3 back spark plugs!! So I have gotten really good at it. LOL I can change my alternator in about 30 minutes! LOL Hope this helps.

1985 Buick Skylark fuse location: Remove the plastic panel, roughly 4" x 4", located on the left side of the inside of your glove box. I don't know where any relay switches are located.

The firewalls should be close enough to work they may be some differences from vehicle to vehicle though

2.3 liter 4 cylinder or 3.1 liter V6

Wiper arms on a 96 Buick Skylark can be adjusted. This can be done by flipping open the plastic snap cover at the bottom of the wiper arm. Loosen the ratchet and remove the nut. Then adjust the wiper arm. Put back the nut and tighten the ratchet.Ê

The normal battery voltage is about 12.6 volts with no load. Anything much less than this indicates the battery is not fully charged or is degraded. The key to starting an engine though is what does this value drop to when you start to crank the engine. If the battery is weak and the engine does not crank, the voltage could drop below 10 volts. If your car has a voltmeter in the instrument panel, note the value without cranking and then when you do crank to see how much it changes.

Two six volt dry cells will produce 12 volts, but wont start a car.

4x6 hard to replace!!!

You actually need a special tool for that (along with elbow grease). They vary by engine size too. Check any big auto store.

123456 is the firing order 123is towards the torpedo 456 is to the fan if you got a side placed engine

Just had to do a rad replacement on my own 93 Skylark 3.3, and it's a tricky and long process. First you'll need to remove the cooling fan, which is accomplished by undoing one bolt at the top of the mount, unplugging it, and lifting it out; it's a tight squeeze with the exhaust manifold in the way, so take your time. The coolant radiator is bolted to the AC radiator in the front, and there should be two bolts holding them together facing the front of the car; they're behind your headlight mountings, and are tricky to get at if you don't remove the lights first. There is also an AC line that runs directly over the top of the radiator; you WILL have to disconnect the pressure-bolt for it (located on the passenger's side) and relieve the freon from the AC system to remove your radiator (this is *the* catch of doing a rad replacement in a '93 Skylark). Back off the bolt very, very slowly until it begins to hiss; you'll have to let the AC system bleed off until there is absolutely no hissing at all, perhaps backing off the pressure very very slightly if the hissing stops to allow more space for the freon to escape. When working with freon, be very, VERY careful, wear gloves, safety glasses and a breathing mask (or at least a rag or shirt over your nose and mouth) because it is highly toxic and very cold when it contacts air. You WILL have to get the AC system recharged at an auto shop (which these days is no small amount of cash, since you can't buy freon/R-12 recharging kits in the store the same way that you can get R-134a). After the AC line is disconnected, you can move it out of the way (it is connected to a flexible hose on the driver's side) so that you can drain your radiator if you haven't already. Be sure that you've let the engine cool for a good hour or two so that you aren't burned by the coolant; the stopcock is a small, hand-turnable valve located on the driver's side at the very bottom of the radiator that will allow you to drain most of the coolant from the rad. Disconnect the hoses from the engine block-to-radiator (located on top-driver's side) and overflow tank-engine block-radiator (should be an odd-looking 3-way hose at bottom-passenger's side). After all this, unbolt the two radiator retaining bolts--will be just above the radiator, facing the engine--and pull the radiator toward the engine and out of the car; be careful not to jostle or bump your coils or spark-plug wires, the clearance there is very tight. Putting another rad in is basically a reverse of the process--good luck!

You should get one of those Chilton's or Haynes books for Skylark and Grand AM for these years. Amazon has some dirt cheap. Its not that hard. First take out all the obvious screws that you see. I think you have about 6 of them. After all the screws are removed the panel will be loose but it still wont come off. Theres a lock ring that goes around the handle that you roll the window down with. Its pretty tight and once it comes off its gonna be in pretty bad shape. Theres probably some special pliers that remove this. I didnt bother putting this back on or getting a new one The panel will remain installed fine without it so will the window roller.

Try Amazon.com and see if they have some Buick manuals from Chilton or Haynes. I know they have diagrams and instructions.

The thermostat on a 2.4L engine is at the back of the engine directly below the exhaust manifold. the is a pipe that connects to the hose coming off the bottom of the radiator and angles across the bottom of the engine and then makes a 90 degree turn up the back of the engine. The thermostat sits in the top of this pipe and is held by two bolts diagonally opposed. this assembly sits just in front of the water pump. It is not easy to replace. there is a bolt/stud that holds the pipe in place (located on the lower frame at the bottom of the engine. It is easier to remove the heat shield from the exhaust manifold and use a mirror to view the components.

Check with any place that sells tires. If it's a Gran Sport, they're 16", others are 15".
