Heavy weight oil help oil pressure?
Yes, if ... the problem is wear of either the oil pump or the bearings.
Where is the Knock Sensor located on a 1999 Chevy Z71 and how do you change it?
If it is a 5.3 liter engine, the Knock sensors are located under the intake manifold, when you get the intake manifold pulled off you should see a silver colored pan between the cylender heads, there will be two rubber gromments, pull them up and use a 22mm socket to get them out, and make sure you change the knock sensor wiring harness when you change the knock sensors, it ain't but $23.00 extra to do the job right, don't be a tight wad.

On the passenger side kick panel is a blue cable. Un hook your battery, then unplug this wire. Rehook up ypur battery and you are good to go.
Many crown Victoria police interceptors have the "dark car" option enabled. When a door is opened, the domelight will not illuminate, but the overhead interior light will operate when the headlight switch is pushed in to turn on the domelight. At first, I thought the stealthy "dark car" option was a neat feature, but it quickly became an annoyance after a couple of weeks. If you're observant, you'll notice that the car does know when the drivers door is open because the key in ignition buzzer engages when keys are in ignition and drivers door is opened, and it also enages if the headlights are left on and the drivers door is opened.
To re-enable the domelights to turn on when a door is opened, separate the blue male and female single wire connectors on the passengers side of the car under the glove box. Then disconnect the negative terminal from the car's battery, leave it disconnected for a couple minutes, and reconnect. The "dark car" option should now be disabled.
Note: A pair of pliers may be useful to separate the connectors, they can be very stubborn and not want to pull apart from one another easily. If you get desperate, cutting the single black wire running out of the connector will work as well. Make sure to tape up the exposed ends if you choose this route.
Also note that it if the vehicle's battery is not disconnected after the dark mode connectors are separated, the LCM will typically exit dark mode too. But it will take countless door open/close events until the domelight mysteriously springs to life. And even this will vary depending on which software version your lighting computer runs on.
It is also possible to refresh the LCM's keep alive memory by pulling fuses instead of disconnecting the battery, but the power distribution systems varies in crown vics depending on model year and the LCM is also fed off of a couple different circuits. So you'd have to pull more than one fuse, and which fuses to pull would also vary. Hence, the suggestion to disconnect the vehicles battery which effectively removes all the fuses in one quick step.
This article is only relevant to 1995 and later crown Victoria police interceptors, the connector in question is not present on earlier vehicles. 1994 and prior crown vics use a conventional parallel/series wiring setup for domelight illumination. 1995 and later ones use a lighting control module and the domelights can be disabled by grounding one of the LCM pins when it is not desirable for the courtesy lights to illuminate when a door is opened.
Note: Instead of conventional pin switches on the door jamb, 1995 and later crown vics use a door ajar switch located inside the door on top of the latch mechanism. Is not uncommon for these switches to fail and short to ground, so domelight illuminates constantly and will not shut off. Also, some police departments cut the wire running to the drivers door ajar switch since this disables the key in ignition buzzer and parking light reminder buzzer.
A few crown vic owners have asked how to retrofit the dark car option onto their civilian models. Below are a few solutions:
How do you get the cruise control working after putting in a new intake manifold?
Reconnect everything EXACTLY as it was prior to the manifold replacement.....look for either a disconnected vacuum line or electrical connector to the cruise control servo - check the fuse that supplies power to the cruise control - check for 12v power to the servo (got a test light or a multi-meter ?) hope that helps.....
Right click the time icon, highlight the hour, minute, or second and click the up or down arrow. Click apply and ok. That should reset the time. If you have to change the date, also click on the date you want. This is for Window XP
How do you replace the differential gasket on a 1990 Chevy scottsdale 1500 series pickup truck?
If you look up under the back of the truck at the rear end housing, you will see a round plate with at least 10 bolts in it. Take all the bolts out. When you remove the plate grease will run out. Clean old gasket off, replace with new gasket, Put plate
back on and fill with grase.

What way does the thermostat go in on a 1994 Chevy silverado 1500 5-7L.?
The spring goes down in the engine
Where is the starter on a 1995 350 silverado?
If you get under your truck between the two front tires, and look up you should see it. It is cylindrical and is on the passenger side of your flywheel.
An exhaust restiction, like a clogged catalytic convertor
No and no the 2005 has 6 lug wheels and the 95 has 5 lug. As for the dash the cabs are totally different. The 2005 is significantly wider.
What is wrong with a truck that is backfiring?
If it is petrol then it is probably the ignition timing not set correctly.
If it is diesel then it is probably the injection pump timing not set correctly
Could be your fuel pump. Vortec engines are very touchy
with fuel pressure
How much oil should you use on a 1994 Ford F-150 5.0 V8?
5 quarts.with filter
Mine takes 6 quarts with filter. 1994 4x4 supercab, 5.0 automatic
Why is your air conditioning pump skipping on your 1996 Chevy truck?
By "skipping", do you mean "cycling off and on"?
That is caused by low refrigerant pressure. Refrigerant slowly leaks even in an air conditioning system that is functioning properly. It's perfectly reasonable to expect to add a little refrigerant every year or two.
What is the mpg for 1994 ck 2500 5.7L engine?
About 12mpg from my experience, mostly short distance, in town driving
How do you change the clock time on a 1991 New Yorker?
