How do you change serpentine belt for a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo?
There is a tensioner pulley on the engine that has a sole job of tightening the belt up. Pull on that tensioner either right or left which ever way loosens the belt, and then slip the old belt off. Put the new belt on routing the belt the same way the old one went. May have to fight with that new belt to get on due to it being new and not stretched, but it will eventually go on.
Where is the fuel pump relay located on a Chevy Aveo?
There are relays in the fuse box under the hood. Its on the right side. You have to pull a plastic cover off to get to them. The fuel pump itself is under the rear seat. Remove the seat (pull handles on back, take bolts out under front of rear seat). Pull plastic tabs out that hold down carpet under seat. Lift up the round black plastic cover. If you do need to replace it (just a guess- a lot of them died at 75k miles) look on RockAuto.com.
How do you change the timing belt on a 1984 Chevette?
The fact that you ask the question indicates you do not have the expertise to do this. Severe damage can be done to the engine if this is done incorrectly. Find a good trustworthy mechanic and pay the expert to do this job.
I done this many times but it has been quite a while since I've done one, but I do remember the top gear (Cam Gear) has a hole in it and also the rear cover has a hole in it also line those two up (easiest way I found was to put a Allen wrench approx. the same size through them both) then you have the top gear lined up. the bottom gear should also have some kind of mark on it also (can't remember what it looks like) it is also a good idea to take off the distribtor cap off and make sure the rotor is pointing at the number one spark plug location, if not (180 degrees out) rotate the engine one complete rotation (without timing belt on) then the rotor should be pointing at the number one spark plug location and you can install the timing belt and it should be all lined up.
There should be a tensioner that is bolted on to the engine with an off center hole with an Allen wrench hole also put in the proper size Allen wrench and rotate it (I think it is clockwise)until the belt has tension on the tighten down the the bolt with the off center hole and you should be done.
DON'T FORGET TO REMOVE THE ALLEN WRENCH IN THE CAM GEAR THAT YOU USED TO LINE IT UP WITH!
Chris is really easy all you have to do is be careful when jacking up the car and you were jack stands preferably instead of blocks
How do you fix an Aveo that will not let you shift out of park?
I have an 04 Aveo and about 6 months ago my shifter would not get out of park unless you use the shift lock key. I found what the problem was by accident, but once I found the problem it makes total sense. Basically, one day I realized my brake lights were not going on, and after diagnosing the problem it appeared the brake switch was faulty. Once I replaced the brake switch, not only did it fix my brake light problem, but it also fixed my shifter problem. It's been about 5 months since the brake switch was replaced, and I never had the problem since. I think what was going on was since the brake switch was faulty, the car was not recognizing that you were pressing the brakes. Since you are not able to get the shifter out of park unless you are stepping on the brakes, it really makes total sense. But if I did not find this out by accident I don't know whether I would have been able to diagnosis it. I hope this is the problem you are having because it is a VERY cheap and easy fix - the switch is a $5 part and anyone can replace it.
After reading this, I was able to find and fix (although temporarily) the same problem with my daughter's 04 Aveo. Here is some more detail of the problem. First make sure that it is the brake switch by checking to see if the brake lights do not come on when the brake pedal is depressed. If the brake lights do come on, then the brake switch is OK - look elsewhere.
To remove the brake switch, slide the seat back and look above the curved bar to which the brake pedal is attached. The switch is black plastic with a white label with the letters WA in black. Disconnect the wires by firmly squeezing the white connector on the wide side and pull it off. To get the switch out of the metal bracket, rotate the switch 90 degrees and pull it out. To take the plastic switch case apart, pry apart at the parting line under the two triangles). Inside, there are two metal contacts. Push them out by pushing on the terminal blades from the end that the wires were connected. One of these two connectors is spring loaded on a flat spring and one is not. File the round disk connector pads (similar to ignition points). I found that the electrical resistance between the flat spring and its contactor disk was high, meaning that is was not properly closing the circuit - THE ROOT CAUSE!. So, I re-squeezed the riveted pad with a heavy duty pliers. The resistance (as measured with an ohmmeter) should go from infinity to 0 as the switch is activated. If this is the case, re-assemble, re-install, and then PURCHASE A NEW ONE. This is a dealer only part. Most auto parts stores can't get it for you. What we have done is a temporary fix.
