How do you install an air filter on a 2003 Navigator?

1. Remove the flat plastic cover from the top of the engine by removing the two bolts and pulling up. There is a hidden friction support on the left side of the enginge when viewed from the front. 2. Loosen the hose clamp around the air intake at the engine. 3. Loosed the hose clamp at the outlet of the air filter assembly. 4. Remove the hose assembly that connects the air filter assembly to the engine air intake. 5. Undo the spring clamp that hold the two halves of the air filter assembly together and loosen the clamp ring. IMPORTANT: Note where the clamp lever is in relation to the line up tab at the top of the filter housing. 6. Pull the front of the air assembly away from the rest of the filter housing. Note where the clamp ring fits over the plastic tabs at the bottom of the removed housing half. IMPORTANT: Becareful when removing the front of the housing as there is a wiring harness that is connected to an air mass sensor in the housing. I did not need to disconnect the wiring harness as I was able to move the loose part toward the firewall. 7. You are now able to access the filter to replace it. 8. Reverse these disassembly steps to everything back together properly.

Why do your wipers run all of the time on your 2004 avalanche?

figured it out on my own since no one here was able to help. the pulse board(circuit board bolted directly onto the wiper moter) has an internal relay that is sticking. i replaced the circuit board.

How do you change alternator on a 1995 Grand Am?

Disconnect your battery first. Then remove the belt you can buy or borrow a tool for the tension pulley or use a long bar just be careful where you rest it. Remove the nut on the back of the alternator holding the power wire then remove the to bolts holding the alternator.

Ran 03 avalanche out of gas now will not turn over?

By not turn over I'm guessing you mean won't start. Sometimes when you run a vehicle completely out of gas you will cause the fuel pump to burn out & have to replace it. Which can cost alot.

How do you fix a smelly septic?

If it's been more than 3 years since it was pumped out - then it's time now.

Where is the knock sensor on a 2007 avalanche 5.3L?

The sensor is either located on TOP of the bell housing between the engine and transmission OR it is located on the side of the engine block near the freeze plugs. Also why do you feel it necessary to replace it? It is RARE that one is faulty and very easy to test. I copied this from a tech forum http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/JULY/techtips.htm Knock, Knock -- Forget The Hammer Trick

To test the knock sensor, some techs grab a hammer and tap on the block. While tapping, they look for spark retard. But most techs don't know how smart this sensor really is. The knock sensor in this engine is tuned to 7,000Hz, the frequency range of a spark knock condition. With that narrow range of sensitivity, the computer can't hear a noisy idler, worn cam lobes, rod bearings or a frustrated tech banging on the block with a hammer! Getting no retard out of the hammer test, many techs pull off the intake manifold and replace the $130 knock sensor. They're shocked to find the same code 52 on their next road test. Now what? The cause of the code 52 problem is usually not the knock sensor itself, but the signal wire between the knock sensor and the external connector by the intake manifold. This wire gets brittle if it is overheated. Removing the connector during disassembly can break the signal wire inside the shield. Obviously, that prevents the signal from getting to the PCM. We advise techs to replace this short length of knock sensor lead wire any time the intake manifold is removed. Especially if it's been overheated. The Resonance-style Knock Sensor Will Not Respond To Your Hammer Blows

Back in engine performance class you probably learned that there are two common types of knock sensors -- piezoelectric and piezoresistive. The piezoelectric sensor creates a voltage when it is exposed to vibration, while the piezoresistive type changes resistance during vibration. That information stills holds. However, in addition to the two types of sensors, there are two different styles of piezoelectric sensors -- mass and resonance. The mass sensor has its "ears" up to all vibrations. It produces a voltage at all vibration frequencies, creating its highest voltage at around 7,000Hz. This sensor forces the PCM to filter out the voltages above and below those generated at the 7,000Hz level. The resonance sensor is much smarter. It sends a significant voltage to the PCM only when it detects vibration in the 7,000Hz range. At all other times it is quiet as a mouse. This self-monitoring takes a load off the PCM. While Toyota uses both styles of piezoelectric sensors on its engines, the engine on the reverse side of this page uses only the resonance style. Unlike knock sensors from other manufacturers, striking near this sensor with a hammer will most likely get you nowhere, unless you are just looking to vent some frustration. About the only way to test this sensor is to over-advance the timing, attach your digital meter (AC scale), and take the truck for a test drive. If the sensor is working, you should see AC readings that correspond to the pinging you hear. * Brad Davis is the most recent addition to the Import Department of AutoLine Telediagnosis.

How do you install an air filter in 2003 avalanche?

There is like 4 or 6 screws on top of the air box. Take the screws out and remove the old filter, clean out the box and put in the new filter.

Look at owners manual for more instructions.

Job takes about 5 minutes.

Where is the flasher on a 2004 avalanche?

The flashers are in the DS fuse panel, behind that fuse panel there is also a flasher relay that controls the truck and trailer signal lights and the trailer brake lights. To get to the back of the fuse panel you must take the bottom part of the dash off.

On a 2000 Maxima what would cause a loss of power upon quick acceleration at any speed The RPMs drop and it does not shift into the appropriate gear when you punch the gas?

I have been chasing this problem for around 6 months. Last bit of information is that it appears to be a fuel pressure/delivery problem. With a maintenance scanner connected and the above situation occurs, the oxygen sensor maxes out indicating too much oxygen and insufficient gas. Recommendation is to have fuel system pressure tested. Fuel filter has been replaced with no help. Fuel pump could be suspect. I had the same problem with my 2000 Maxima. It felt like the car was sucking too much air or running out of gas under full throttle acceloration as the RPM got past about 3500. Power suffered as well. I replace the MAF mass airflow sensor and it was like I had a new car! The part is pretty easy to replace, taking about 20 minutes. The MAF in line with the air intake system. I have had the same problem with my 2000 GLE Max, sometimes the TCS/Slip came on and never go out. After searching many forums I noticed most 2000 Nissan Maximas have defective coils, I brought it to dealership and pay some money for diagnostic, they ssaid that all six coils are defected, they caused back fired. It tooks me more than 6 hours to replace the coils and voila I really enjoy my Max again. Hope this will help.

Where is the cabin air filter in a 2007 avalanche?

2007+ GMT900, NBS (GM New Body Style) have no cabin air filter by design. There is an aftermarket option to install one....if really need one. I think GM blocked the area where you install the filter.

What could be the problem when oil pressure loss while driving 04 Chevy Avalanche?

1. verify that the oil pressure is actually dropping using a calibrated oil pressure gauge.

2. most likely scenario, the oil pressure is not really dropping, the oil pressure sending unit on your vehicle is bad...common Chevy v8 problem

How many grease fittings does a 2007 Avalanche have?

The 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche typically does not have any grease fittings, as it uses sealed components that are designed to be maintenance-free. Many modern vehicles, including the Avalanche, utilize bearings and joints that do not require regular greasing. However, it's always a good idea to consult the owner's manual or a dealership for specific maintenance information.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2001 Chevy Prism?

First make a sketch of how the belt is routed over and under the pulleys. As you face the engine from the passenger side of the vehicle, look toward the firewall side of the engine for a pulley mounted on an "arm". This is the tensioner for the belt. On this arm is a 3/4" nut welded to it. Turn it clockwise toward the front of the car and the arm & pulley should swing enough for the belt to be pulled off. Replacing the belt is tricky because the new belt will be stiff and have bends set into a weird shape. It is best done with two people. One should be under the car and one on top. I did it with my wife. I was underneath. Start at the front of the car and work toward the rear leaving the tensioner for last. I made the final loop over the tensioner from underneath while my wife relieved the tensioner. You could do it from on top if they are skilled enough to un-tension the arm and position the belt. Both will have to hold the belt from slipping off as the belt as it is rerouted. Make some small golf club shaped or hooked tools to push / pull the belt over and under pulleys, it will help.

If you are doing this job yourself, it is a little easier to save the alternator for last.

Working from the front of the car you can pull on the tensioner (I used a 3/4" socket on a breaker bar) forward with one hand, while slipping the belt over the alternator pulley at the same time. Tricky, but it works!

2004 Chevrolet Avalanche - 2WD

Crank No Start When Cold Due to Compression Loss - kw nostart no cylinder dtc crank hard head idle lifter low mil misfire rough run valve #PIP3146A - (Jan 26, 2005)

Condition/Concern:

Crank no start when cold. The engine may crank over very fast, as if there is low/no compression. It may also run rough for up to 5 minutes after starting the engine and may exhibit a P0300 DTC too. This may be caused by sticking valves due to fuel contamination. When the engine is cold, the compression on multiple cylinders may be at 0 PSI. The engine also may pop through the intake or exhaust while cranking and the spark plugs may be fuel fouled when inspected. Some engines may also experience valve damage or cam followers that are out of position as a result of this.

This condition will normally occur in specific areas of the country for a period of time and then it will no longer occur after the suspect fuel source has been consumed in that area of the country.

Recommendation/Instructions:

If the SI Diagnosis lead to a compression loss due to sticking valves, the following information may help:

If there is no sign of valve damage or cam followers that are out of place, perform the following procedure to free up sticking valves and to prevent the valves from sticking again. If valve damage is present or if there are cam followers that are out of place, perform engine mechanical repairs as necessary to correct the concern and then perform the procedure below to prevent the valves from sticking again.

1. Clean the fuel system by following the applicable "Fuel System Cleaning" procedure outlined in SI.

2. Add fuel injector cleaner (Part Number 12345104) to the fuel tank in the approved quantities.

3. Refill the fuel tank using fuel from a high volume, high quality filling station.

4. Clean the induction system using GM Top Engine Cleaner. Follow the directions on the can but DO NOT force the engine to stall since forcing the engine to stall with liquid Top Engine Cleaner could cause the engine to hydro-lock.

5. Advise the customer to change fuel filling stations. They should use fuel from only high volume, high quality filling stations or they should use a Top Tier Detergent Gasoline if available. See 04-06-04-047A for details regarding Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.

Note: If the condition is not eliminated chemically, it may be necessary to remove the valves to manually clean the stems.

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

How do you install a tailgate handle on a 2005 Chevy Avalanche?

It is a lengthy project if you do it correctly. You have to just about take the entire tailgate apart piece by piece. I started by removing the tail gate and putting it on some padded saw horses. From there, you just have to keep removing bolts until you get it broken down. The reason it is so difficult is there is a small tab positioned so that you cannot remove the latch -- you will likely see it early on. It is located right in the latch handle area. I took a short cut at this point. You don't have to but it was "a big time saver."

After looking at the tab for a while and procrastinating about taking the tailgate apart, I had my body man take a cutting wheel and remove the tab. You cannot see this when the latch is in place -- it appears to be a security enhancement, not a requirement for looks or operation of the latch. Anyway, it saved a couple hours of work and works/looks fine.

How do you change a cabin air filter on a 2003 Avalon?

You will see three Phillips head screws across the top and one on lower left, remove these, now on the lower right back in an indent you will see a 10mm bolt head, remove this bolt. There are several metal push-clips holding the glove box in place after the four screws and bolt are removed. Pull firmly from the top and rotate the bottom right flange out from behind the molding where the bolt was removed. There is a plastic foot shield that snaps to the bottom edge of the glove box. Pull it off the box. Gently pull glove box out and let hang down. If you want you can unplug the wire to the trunk opener cancelling switch by pushing the little tab while pulling out. You can now maneuver the filter holder out of its tray that is above where the glove box was. Grasp filter holder from both sides with fore fingers and pull it straight out. Remove filter from holder and install new filter the same way. Reinstall filter holder, Gently put glove box back in place, reinsert screws and bolt. Enjoy the fresh air.

What is the flasher location on a 1994 LeBaron?

The flasher relay in plugged into the black colored section (top) of the interior relay block. This block is located to the left side of the steering column under the dashboard. It helps to remove the plastic cover (knee bolster) below the steering wheel (5 screws) to see the block and relay. The relay block is placed behind and higher than the fuse block. The face of the relay block faces towards the steering column so you will be pulling the flasher relay towards the column. Cheers

What causes an Oil pressure reading 80dpi?

You have a problem with the stepper motor gauge that Chevy used in the 02-06? Avalanche. All the gauges use the same stepper motor. They just go wonky and do all kinds of weird things. I have replaced two on mine already and two more are now acting up. There is a guy selling the motors and the repair for this problem on E-bay.
