Chevy Beretta

Remove bottom plastic cover in center of dash first and then remove other plastic part that the first peace was attached to. (watch for hidden screws)

The clutch has an automatic adjuster therefore there is not a provision for a manual adjustment.

I would wait until you had less than half a tank let in the car. Then jack the car up and properly support it on some jack stands. I would use the rear cross member near the gas tank to do this. Places the stands as far out as possible to aviod beening able to rock the car too much. Then locate the rubber fuel line entering the gas tank. It will probably be a 2" pipe. Remove the hose clamp using either a 5/32" or a screw driver. Revove more gas using a hose into an approved container. If you are going to take the tank off I would suggest puting the jack under the gas tank. Put just enough pressure tso you know it is on the gas tank. Then loosen the bolts on the gas tank restaning straps. When the bolts are out, and mind you that your car is an 89 and this has never been done so the bolts may come off hard. Remove the straps and lower the jack slowly to aviod dropping the gas tank.

First locate the valve cover. If the motor is a 4 cylinder there will only be one valve cover. If it is a 'v6' it will have two as well as v8 automobiles. With a Socket wrench and extention locate the valve cover bolts that go around the cover bolting it to the top of the engine (cylinder head.) Usually the valve cover will have the 'Oil Filler' cap on it. (Where you add oil to the engine...) With the correct size socket remove the bolts that hold down the valve cover. Lift the valve cover up and away from the cylinder head. You may need to strike it with a soft mallet to get it to release. Once it's off you will see the rockers/springs. Be careful to keep the old gasket debrey from entering the rocker valley. With a razer scrap all remaining gasket from the cylinder head. Some gaskets have an "UP" side so make sure you look over your gasket for any indicators. Then apply your new gasket. Then put your valve cover back on carefully so your new gasket does not move. Slide the bolts back into place and tighten from the middle out. Tighten the bolts until they just about snug then move to the next opposing bolt. So Center, Bottom Center, Left, Bottom Left, Right, Bottom Right etc. Once they are all snug go back and turn the wrench another half turn to tighten them up. *Do Not Over Tighten The Bolts.* or damnage to the gasket or bolt breakage may occur. If oil leaks from the cover check for loose bolts or gasket breakage.

Edit by Loosenut: Torque spec is 12lbs. for the valve cover bolts.

the best way to do this is get a jack and a pair of ratchit tie down straps and put the jack underneath the oil pan and prop it up just a little bit. Now take off the motor mount by your coolant storage tank and take your tie down straps and connect the one behind the power steering fluid resovoir. You will see a hole for a cherry picker. Now take the other end of the strap and put it somewhere safe on the top of the frame by the radiator. Now with your motor mount off and your ratchit ties pulling the motor foward. Jack the motor up just a little more. With a flashlight reach back behind the motor with it cooled down and you will see the coils. You will need a 5.5mm socket to get out 4 bolts. But only take out the bolts that are holding down the junk coil. Finally put your new coil on carefully and reverse your process leading to where your at now and your done.

can also be done with a open or boxed end wrench, but is harder to do but cheaper than buying a o2 sensor socket. there are 2 o2 sensors on these ( i have one to) you need a special tool looks like a spark plug sockett with a space cut out on one side to accomadate the wires from the sensor not hard to do just a pain in the butt heidi

I belive it is somewhere on the transmission, *I just replaced the speed sensor on my 93 Chevy Lumina Euro so look on the passenger side right below the alternator on the transmission. One bolt to unfasten, then lift out. Solved our problem of erratic movement of speedometer needle and changes in speed of cruise control, also slowness in accelerating after stopping.

According to the Chilton Corsica/Beretta 1988-1996 Manual, there are 21 steps to removing the ignition cylinder (and another 15 - 20 to reinstall it). Not that I don't want to past them all here, but you should get a manual... they're handy to have for any repairs.

Various possibilities including thermostat, low coolant, weak coolant, cylinder head gasket, cylinder head. could aso be your electric fan not working leaking heater core!

Various possibilities including thermostat, low coolant, weak coolant, cylinder head gasket, cylinder head. mine overheated, I needed a new headgasket. FOund out it was because I didn't have any coolant in it. The warning signs are your engine sign will start to turn over to overheating. You should also check to make sure your fan is working. Don't forget the leaking heater core. It will drain the fluid out the firewall as you drive and the next thing you know, you are out of fluid and overheating and can't find a leak! The plastic core connectors to the heater hoses commonly crack and leak. The replacement cores have aluminum connectors! Darn cheap plastic!!

Go to autozone.com they have this information on their website.

maybe check the thermostat.

It should be on the fan shroud. If not, draw one before you take it off. If it is off, go to a used car lot and find a car like yours and draw your own schematic. Or it is in your owners manual or get a manual on your car from the parts store.

Check the coolant level and make sure that its full, and is not leaking down over time. If the system is full then the low coolant sensor is probably bad.

Take to a shop for an accurate answer. Could be MANY things. Tie rod ends, wheel bearings, out of round tires, ball joints...
