Where is the coolant thermostat on my 2006 impala?

On a 2006 Chevrolet Impala, the coolant thermostat is located near the engine's upper radiator hose, typically at the engine's front. To access it, you may need to remove the engine cover and disconnect the upper radiator hose. It's housed in a thermostat housing that is bolted to the engine. Make sure to consult your vehicle's service manual for specific details and instructions.

What reason my full gaz tank shows on the dash Zero and jumps to Full on Chevy Impala-2001 with 3.8 engine?

I would bet the fuel sending unit is the culprit. Go to Walmart and buy 2 bottles of Techron in the auto parts section and add them to your gas tank. Not both at the same time.......use one and then when you fill up again add the other. GM's fuel pumps and sending units are ntoroious for fouling up with sulpher and Techron removes the sulfur from the fuel sending unit. I own a 2004 Corvette and this same problem has plagued many of the Vette owners. It may take up to 3 tank fulls but this usually eliminates the problem. I would try this before I went looking anywhere else . And when you do buy gas, try to buy what is called top tier gasoline. It is not the most expensive, but it has the additives already in it to dissolve this sulpher.

Do a Google search and type in "top tier gasolines" and read what gasolines have these cleaning agents. I hope this fixes your problem.........I figured it would be a good place to start and you have nothing to lose other than the cost of the Techron.

How do you disable the Passlock system on 2003 Impala?

You really can't turn it off. They sell bypass kits, but the passlock system has to be working in order for the bypass thing to work.

On a 1961 Impala how do you modify the wiring harness from a generator to a modern alternator with a built-in regulator?

Hey Ginger==It is very simple.The alternator has 3 connections. One big one for the hot wire from the battery whivh is hot all of the time. The F terminal needs a wire that has voltage when the ignition is turned on and the L terminal goes to the light on the dash. These three wires are at the regulator and just need a little of checking out to find out which one goes where. GoodluckJoe THE EASIEST WAY IS TO INSTALL WHAT'S CALLED A SELF-EXCITING OR ONE-WIRE ALTERNATOR. THE ARE AVAILABLE AT AUTO PARTS STORES AND ON THE INTERNET THROUGH RETAILERS AND E-BAY. YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED TO PURCHASE A MOUNTING BRACKET KIT IN ORDER TO ADAPT YOUR NEW ALTERNATOR AS WELL. THE BEAUTY OF THE ONE WIRE IS THAT IT ELIMINATES THE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WIRES GO WHERE. ALL YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO DO IS RUN A CABLE FROM THE B+ STUD TERMINAL ON THE BACK OF THE ALTERNATOR TO THE BATTERY. THAT'S IT, NO FUSS. ERICK When you convert from the external regulator alternator, you no longer need the regulator that is mounted on the radiator support. You also don't need some of the wiring that is present in the loom. The diagram below shows the original connection at the old regulator. (I'm sorry, but the wire that is colored yellow, is really white)

The next diagram shows how you modify the loom at this location. Notice that the blue wire is jumpered to the brown wire. The white wire and the orange wire are just capped off so that they will not short out to anything. This next diagram shows what you have to do at the new alternator. The wire that goes from the "BATT" terminal to the #2 terminal is a new wire that you will have to add. You can use a 14 gauge wire. The white wire (shown yellow) just gets capped off. You will need a new connector to fit the new alternator and they can be purchased at almost any auto parts shop. Due to my being bothered by the "extra" wire being in the loom, I totally removed the dead white and orange wires. I also wired the brown wire to the alternator directly. It just gets rid of some extra length of wire. The prior paragraph has caused me a lot of e-mail feed back and hopefully the following information will clear it up. In my final wiring configuration, the "brown wire" comes from the alternator indicator light, through the firewall connector, and directly to the alternator. The result is electrically the same as the diagram at the top of the sheet, just cleaner. The diagram above would have the brown wire coming out of the connector at the firewall, going toward where the regulator was, connecting to the blue wire, then the blue wire goes to the alternator. As I said, I cleaned up the wiring (and in the process, dirtied up the wording). In order to ensure good connections, I recommend that you always solder the connections and then use heat shrink tubing to seal it.

How do I change a thermostat on a 03Chevy impala?

To change a thermostat on a 2003 Chevy Impala remove the connectors to the battery, wait for the coolant system to be drained and take out the radiator hose. Remove the thermostat and clean it's component, position the thermostat, put the new gasket on top of the thermostat and put engine oil on the bolts. Attach the radio hose and fill the system with coolant. Put the negative part of the battery cable to the terminal and let the car run for a few minutes before driving.

What should you do if the lights are flickering in your home?

Are they ALL flickering or just certain ones? This happens most often with ceiling mounted lights due to the wires burning up from the lamp heat.

How do you remove the cooling fan assembly in a 2000 Impala with 3.8L?

It appears that you will have to remove both front motor mounts in order to make room to lift out the entire dual fan assembly. After that either replace entire assembly or replace both motors. I would be darned sure that the fan motors are the problem before getting into all that. The front mounts are torque mounts they do not hold the engine from falling out of the car they prevent rotation of the motor which is good in this case as it gives you more space Good Luck!
