What causes a car to smoke an leak clear fluid?

That depends on the color of the smoke. If it's white smoke, then you probably have a problem with the manifold gasket. Blue means it' burning oil. The "clear fluid" is probably just condensation from the air conditioner or the tail pipe.

Where are the spark plugs located on a 1994 Buick Skylark 24?

The spark plugs are located under the aluminum cover at the top of the enigine. There are two bolts (1/2") on the top and two bolts located lowed on the cover towards the back of the engine compartment (just follow the cover down, as it wraps around). The two lower bolts are also 1/2". There is a electrical plug located on the driver's side of the cover, which unplugs easily. Once the plug is disconnected, just pull the cover straight up and off. the plugs are located on the back side, mirrored with the injectors. Hope this information helps.

If a 1999 Town and Country drivers power window started out with intermittent problems going down and this escalated to both directions should you replace the motor and door switch or just the switch?

Sorry, I do not have the definitive answer, but maybe my experience will be helpful. I was plagued with the same problem on the drivers side window, though more pronounced with going up. Waiting a few minutes or longer, it would go back up a few inches, then stop again. I repeated the process until window was finally up. I later discovered that if you "grasped" the window and assisted it, you would have much better success. As Murphy's Law would have it, failures occurred at an in-oppurtune time usually. So it was hard to test for 12 volts at the motor when it was failing. I came to the conclusion it had to be the motor, theorizing it was already weak or had a winding that was shorting and made it overheat, making it work at first, then fail. After trying to overhaul the motor, I eventually replaced it.

Hooray, it worked... for 3 or 4 months. Arrgh! It is exhibiting that exact same properties. I have read on another site about the possibility that the motor is fine, that real problem is in the lifting cables. They are somewhat like the hand brake cable of bicycle, where a flexible cable slides within a tubular shroud. If these cables are insufficiently lubricated, they may cause too much mechanical resistance for the motor to overcome. Also if the cable shroud is not firmly secured at either end, it may be absorbing the movement of cable as the motor winds the cables.

I find it hard to believe the motor itself has failed again, although anything is possible. The replacement motor I used was new from a auto parts store, not an actual OEM motor. Before I tear back into it, I'm thinking about contacting a Service Manager at a Chrysler dealership. Perhaps there is a service bulletin on this.

I had problem with motor not working on the up switch on drivers door. Replaced motor and cables. When you replace both be sure that you have window all the way down before you take off cables. If not you will have a major head ache trying to remove cables. It is very easy if you have window all the way down. Use your own judgment on how far you want it down to remove cables. Took me about 2 hours for everything. Be sure to tighten all things back up so window does not bind in rail.

How do you change the lug nut size from 14''to 15''?

well, with a tap and die. but that is not a good idea. your lug nuts have to be a certain strength, and tap and die-ing one an entire inch thinner would ruin it. just go buy them for like a dollar apiece at autozone. besides. it's probably not a 14" anyways, it's probably 14mm.

What causes back end of a car to bounce?

You might need new tires. The tire(s) could be separating. Check and see if they are bulging at all.

I think your tires might be out of balance or you need a 4-wheel alignment. Your shocks might also be worn-out.

What would cause the interior lights and 'ding' signal to keep going after the buick skylark 1993 is turned off?

I know I already answered this question, but I will answer it again.. The chime that does the headlights also does it for the Key in the Ignition reminder. Sometimes these small switchs can go bad, and key cylinder lubrication can sometimes fix the problem, but more often than not, the key cyliner has to be replaced. The cheaper route is to just remove the chime box, by following the sound until you find it and unplugging it. However, this will also mean if you leave your headlights on, you wont know...

What would make a 1990 Buick Skylark jerk forward and shut off when you put it in gear but runs fine until you do?

A common problem on many General Motors cars is the Torque Converter Clutch fails to release and causes the car to stall when it comes to a stop or when started and put in gear. Most of the time it is a stuck Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, but this is not the only cause of this problem. Generally, if you unplug the TCC solenoid at the transmission and the symptoms go away, you have found the problem. But sometimes this can be misleading because you don't know for sure if it's a bad solenoid, dirt in the valve body or a bad signal from the ECM. I would suspect you will find the solenoid is bad or has been unplugged.

How do you add transmission fluid to a Buick Skylark?

How do you replace the water pump on a 1991 Buick Skylark?

Skylark Water PumpI thought changing water pump would be a pain but all honesty it was kinda easy. I took off the steering pump, and alternator and cole housing youll see them all on top. i didnt disconnect any i just shoved them out of my way. now you find the tension pulley and lift up on it till the serpentine belt loosens remove it. or atleast get it out of your way. now there is four bolts on the water pump pulley remove them and let it dangle you cant take it off no room be sure you have it on new one or you wont be putting it on. With that off you should be able to weasle all the bolts out and remove water pump.
