Why wont the key fob unlock the doors on a 1997 camaro?

A few times mine worked only when i was about 3 feet away from the drivers door so I took the fob apart and cleaned the contacts, they get what looks like grease on them and can be wiped off with a paper towel or napkin (i use my shirt :P). I wind up having to do this every so often, better than paying ~$60 for a new fob imo.

Where does the speedometer cable on a 1995 Ford Windstar connect to the transmission under the dash and how do you change it?

on the 3.8 from underneath the car follow the speedo cable from steering coluumn area across the the transmission you can feel the cable and the vss sensor you can't see it. the exhaust pipes restrict acess but it is possible to remove without exhaust removal jack up vehicle remove drivers tire. it really helps if you have someone to help at this point you need a 10 mm swivel socket several 1/4 extensions about 20 to 30 " of extensions. 1 person holds the ratchet from the wheel well while other person guides socket to the retain bolt and tries to hold socket on bolt while helper turns ratchet this will remove the vss pull wire cable and sensor back in thr direction of the cable. the speedo cable is a 2 piece unit the lower half can be removed . once vss sensor is out disconnect wire and cable. I haven't ever been into the dash areas so I can't help you on that end. Doing the lower end can be very difficult good tools small hands and mechanical ability is a plus the speedo cable connects into the vss which enters transmission it has a gear on end which is driven. it all pulls out once the 10mm bolt is removed 3/8 ratchet and extensions may also work

Yes! Better make sure you hide all the vin numbers and remove your plates:) Seriously hiding the vin will make no difference, only make it harder for the repo man to id.

What causes a 1994 Chevy Camero 3.4 liter to run for about 10 seconds and quit unless it is cold and then it runs a little longer?

it could be the catallatic converter is clogged id just cut it off a new one ain't cheap but don't get pulled over youll get a big fine

Contrablue Adds:

Your symptom can also be caused by problems with the fuel system, emission control sensors, servos, or controls, or the engine management computer. You or a mechanic should try to obtain the "diagnostic code" from the engine management computer. This code could very well identify the precise problem.

1985 olds cutlass 3.8l v-6 you just cjanged the spark plugs and wires and when you went to start it the car would turn over but the carb would POP or back fire what could this be?

Is very symple, you were going to fast and missplaced the fireing order. each wire has it's own place from the cylinder head to the distribuitor cap. Most American made engines have a number mark on the cilynders. use an engine cleaning spray and look on the block right under the spark plug hole. once you located cylinder 1 look at the distribuitor cap for the number 1 mark. Set the first wire coneccting both marks. after that continue clockwise from the cap that is your #2 plug. Do the same thing and joint the the #2 cylinder. follow the same seccuence till you finish all the wires. if you cannot find any marks on the head or engine block, check the Chilton's repair manual. Good luck.Is very symple, you were going to fast and missplaced the fireing order. each wire has it's own place from the cylinder head to the distribuitor cap.

How do you change the front brake pads on a 1996 Chevy Camaro RS?

jack each side of the front up individually remove the wheel and ur going to either need a break caliper tool which is a giant Allen wrench or your going to need a socket wrench remove the bolt that holds the caliper together and lift it with ur hand do not let it drop or you'll bust the brake line take a c clamp and depress the brake piston all the way down put the new brake pads on and install it the reverse way of taking it off once both sides are done put the car on the ground get in the car and press that brake pedal with the car off till it's tight then turn the car on and do this a couple times till it's no longer squishy but firm on the pedal.

Where is the temp sending unit on 95 Chevy z28 camaro?

on some models there are two of them in 93 there was just the one on the water pump but in 95 there was the one on the front of the water pump and one in the drivers side of the block. they have a two prong pigtail and it has a blue rubber piece. the unit on the block can be found around the plug for cylinder 3 and 5 you can put your hand down by the manifold, preferably when it is cool, and feel for it it is identical to the one on the water pump when you find it get the proper tool to remove it and take it out.

Average cost of gas for you car each month lets say on a national standard?

Can a 92 camaro beat an 85 camaro?

depends on the motor type, transimission etc. For example my 1983 camaro has a 350 5.7 in it but that was not the orignal motor. The chances of ur 92 camaro having a 350 are not good seeing as you are asking a question like this. It also is determined by if ur car is fuel injected or carb.

How to remove the headliner in a 1996 Chevy Camaro non t top?

Here is a site that gives step-by-step instructions and pics to help.

http://www.wlsheadliners.com/tutorials/camaro/

OK, just finished this job on my 1994 Camaro (non T-top) Z28 and had to wing it. The following addresses the mistakes I made. This is the same as the process on the 1996 Camaro.

This is best done as a 2 man job!

Most important thing to note is that on the date of my post, Chevy only has 5 headliners left, and they are no longer manufacturing this part. Date: 1-19-2008

How to replace the headliner:

1) Remove all cabin lights and visors using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver. Note that you MUST use a #2 to remove and replace these screws as they will strip if you use a #1.

Note: When removing cabin lights, be sure to disconnect them, rather than letting them hang as they will probably be damaged.

2) Pull down on the front and back center (by the rearview mirror and rear cabin light you've just removed) of the headliner to remove it. Note: To minimize dust and fibers, be sure to slide the seatbelts through the precut slots rather than rip or force the original headliner out.

3) Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the interior door trim on the driver's site, from the uppermost point (just behind the driver side seat). You should encounter two (2). Continue down to the first clip of the windshield beam by gently pulling to your right to remove that clip. Note that you'll only have to slat this one back into position later.

NOTE: You should NOT need to remove the passenger side to install the new headliner, but if it makes you feel better to do so, feel free to repeat step 3 on the passenger side.

4) Lay both the driver and passenger seats all the way back and put the new headliner into the Camaro. From the driver side, it is best to maneuver the headliner in back-end first with the unfinished side to your left. Push it into the car at a 45 degree angle turning in into position over the seats.

5) While one person holds the headliner up, the other should pull down gently on the rear passenger side cosmetics and feed the seatbelt through the cut allowing the headliner to fall into position. DO NOT PUSH UP ON THE HEADLINER AT THIS POINT. The Velcro will attach and could be damaged when you have to remove it.

(It is best to push the headline further in than it will actually have to go, so you can clear the cosmetics on the driver side on the next step.)

Push the headliner into place between the frame and the passenger side door trim making sure the fabric goes in smoothly, all the way to the front of the car.

6) Feed the driver side seatbelt through the cut in the headliner and repeat step 5 on the driver side.

7) Reinstall the driver side door trim over the new headliner.

8) Reinstall visors and cabin lights.

YOU'RE DONE!

Hope this helps!!! :)
