Buick Skylark

Yes, but there are no special requirements beyond a wheel lift truck. But any car can be damaged by towing

It could be the tires out of balance, the wheels need an alignment or the steering mechanism needs service. Can also be a bent wheel, but I would suspect it is an out of balance tire.

Under vehicle, center, below rear seating area, rear passenger side of fuel tank, mounted in fuel line.

I've seen wiring diagrams in the Chilton's repair manual. It's number 28660 (8257). Try Amazon or Ebay. They should be dirt cheap by now. (Actually, the one I listed goes up to 1995. I'm sure a later one is out, too).

I own a 93 skylark and replacing the any of the bulbs in the front of the vehicle proved difficult due to the extended nose design. i found that when replacing the headlights using a pair of channel locks to gently grasp the back of the light fixture helped getting into the difficult work space, subseqently you have to turn the fixture 1\4 turn and pull straight back. Once the fixture is out simply pull the old light out by rocking the bulb from side to side to un seat it. Reverse the proceedure to get it back in. Blinker and side marker lights are also difficult to reach. If you are un successful approaching it from the top of the engine compartment ,turn the wheels one direction ( depending on which side of the car you are working on) , remove a few screws from the front of the wheel and gently peel back the wheel well just to gain slightly better access, butI warn you there is little room to work with tools under the hood of this particular model so be patient and dont drop anything in the engine. once you drop something you are going to have a difficult time finding anything again. Remember removing the wheel well may be a bit of a hassel at first but , it is better to take the long road to the top of the mountain and get there safely instead of rushing half way up only to fall back down.

Check against the firewall on passenger side--plastic cover may have to be removed

if i have read this correct, your new motor in your 92 Buick skylark is over heating, ? you have replaced the thermostat, (as a new motor would have) & hoses & radiator.. well that's about it.

have you checked & replaced (if neccasary) your water pump? this is important as it pumpes the hot water from the engine, & into the radiator, where it is cooled.

also check your fan, is it an electric fan, or is it a viscous clutch fan, attached to the engine? if it is electric, it is easy to check it, there will be a switch, usually close to the temp sender, unplug it, if it is a NO switch, you will need to earth your wire & the fan will go, if it is NC it will start as soon as you remove the wire. it is possible that your swith could be faulty.

it maybe that it is not your engine that is overheating, but a faulty sender or gauge.

if your new motor didnt come with a new thermostat, it probably didnt come with a new temperature sender either, i am not sure where this is located on a Buick engine, but normally around the thermostat, an easy way to check it is to remove the cable & attach it to earth, then your temp gauge in the car should go all the way up as hot as it can,, this means your gauge is fine, replace your sender.

it is possible that the wire may not have been re-attached when transplanting the engine, in which case, your temp gauge wont work properly either.

this works for a NO temp sender, which is the most common.

NO = normally open

NC = normally closed

these are electrical terms for the type of circuit, NC means that the wire is always earthed, until it switches, then by removing the earth, it turns the switch on,, more common on toyotas than buicks

if you want to change fuse type to newer plugin you will need to change fuse box. if you just need to change one fues that is stuck put on saftey goggles and use a pick and lift out the fuse by metal end caps

You can try replacing the master control switch on the driver's door. If that doesn't fix it you will need a new window motor.

No, it's against federal law to operate a vehicle with a knowingly inoperative odometer. It's the same as turning back an odometer.

I'd say about 2.5 tons.

It is located on the passenger side of the motor below the passenger side valve cover. You can follow the RED, positive, battery cable down to it as the cable should be connected to the stater motor.

It's right in the front and off a little to the passenger side. Big round thing with a belt running to it and a fan. You can't miss it.

Call a GM dealer's parts department or service center.

Doesn't have one. That's a Ford feature, not GM

You can bypass your 1988 Buick Skylark heater core by removing the heater core water supply hoses. There will be to water hoses. Connect the water hoses to each other.

For the V-6, it takes 5W30.

Lift the hood, and against the firewall, passenger side you will see the fan blower housing with the back of the motor visible. Remove the wire to the motor, and unscrew the small bolts around the circumference of the motor housing. Once bolts are removed, pull from the back of the motor. The fan will be attached to the motor after pulling the motor out, and you will have to remove the fan and attach it to your new motor. If you do not have air conditioning, the motor may be stuffed right behind the fender well. Then it depends on how much you value your car. If you want to do it with out cutting up the fender, you will have to remove the hood and fender to get access to it. some people will just cut the inner fender after removing the wheel and cut a hole for access and then put a plate back over it. I hope this will help you out and that I didn't sound belittling or not have enough info.

First off you should remove housing on top of left side of motor where top radiotor hose is located. Thermestat is setting in the middle with spring part going in motor be sure to make sure you put back the way you found it. Also don't throw away the rubber seal around thermostat keep for new one. I just pried up the hose secure and loosend housing becareful you don't bust the hose doing so.

remove cover, unscrew, disconnect

Driver side of the car. Bottom corner of the radiator. Belive me it's there, my GF called me about 45 minutes ago telling me the car puked out ALL it's coolant (for the third time in 2 years...). I just got back from looking at it and the drain plug broke off this time. I'm going through the Internet to see if it's something *I* can fix, or if it's go to get towed some where (and it's leaning towards getting towed somewhere AGAIN...) (as of 6-24-2007)

Behind the fuel tank, near the rear bumper

If your car is over heating you may want to check your thermostat and replace it may solve your over heating problems

the 2.3 and 2.4 engines dont have a pcv valve,they have an oil/air separator located on the right side of the engine as you look at the engine from the front.it looks like a black box with 3 hoses attached to it.

Well the easiest way is to pull the engine. But that's quite a task for someone that doesnt know how to change a spark plug.

Pull the wires off the spark plugs on the engine. Not the box where they all hook into.

Use a ratchet and a spark plug socket of the correct size to GENTLY break loose the spark plug. Twist plug out with fingers in a counter-clockwise direction. Reverse these instructions for installation.

Try not to break them off or you will be in big trouble.
