Do you need to remove the throttle boddie to replace the themostat on a 97 Chevy lumina?
I don't think so. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it connects to the motor. There's a bubble-like metal piece there called the thermostat housing. It connects to the engine with 2 bolts. Removed what you have to to get to this housing.
What if your 1991 lumina turns over but doesn't fire?
Good luck.

My 94 Lumina APV (3.8L) would not start (when warm) - cranked but acted as if no spark or fuel.
Mechanic replaced computer @ $350 (said too many error codes to diagnose problem) - did not resolve problem. Then he replaced the camshaft position sensor (CMP) @ $125 - that solved the problem.

How do you Change clock settings on 2003 durango?
There are two small indented buttons marked with an "H" and a "M" h for hour m for minute, they are located on the upper right side of your radio just above your screen that shows the radio station and time. Use something like the tip of a pen and depress the small buttons to change the hour or minute. Its very simple as there is no provision for AM or PM

This car is equiped with a security feature sometimes which will sense auto-theft and when power supply is removed, it goes goffy and will in turn shut down the starter and fuel system in the vehicle. I need help finding out how to restart the vehicle after this happens!!
New AnswerMine did the same thing. Just had the starter replaced and then all of a sudden it wouldn't start. My mechanic called it the neutral safety switch. There is a part you can get to fix it but I also know of a way to start the darn thing until you get the part. Throw it into neutral ( keeping the brake pressed firmly of course) and it should start or at least it works with mine.Hope this info helps!How do you add freon in a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina?

Why does your Chevrolet 1993 3.1 lumina sputter blow black smoke and die only when warmed up?
This could be caused by MANY things. I'd start with the O2 sensor and the EGR valve. Check engine light on? Have the codes read and start there.
What does it mean when the anti lock light on the dash goes on and what do you do to fix it?
Generally, that means that the ABS computer has detected a fault somewhere in the system. Quite often it's a wheel sensor, but it can also be the module. To accurately determine what's going on you'll have to connect the ABS to a code reader. Note that this probably isn't the same code reader that you would use for your engine. You may need to go to a brake shop or the dealer to scan the ABS module. Unfortunately, many shops are staffed by people who have no business working on cars. Their solution often is to just replace parts until it starts working, then to charge you for all of the parts that they replaced and give you a long bill, claiming that they were all bad. I don't trust most shops, but don't get me started on that one. most of the time when the light goes on , is a problem with the modulator. go to a servise station and have them use a scan tool and you would just go from there.

How do you remove a broken off dipstick from a 1993 3.1 lumina It is .75 of an inch into the tube.?
Try a pair of long thin needle nose pliers, or go to almost any Auto Parts store and purchase a telescoping magnet. There is one that is about the size of the end of a cigarette and will telescope out to 18". Use it to retrieve the broken dipstick.
Why would your antifreeze level keep dropping if there is no leak evident?
Check to make sure that the cap is holding the proper pressure, also once the vehicle is warm make sure there is no steam coming from the tailpipe. ( headgasket ) I would have a Block test done to check for exhaust gasses in the cooling system also
a new radiator cap should fix it.small cracks in the gasket can cause fluid loss
Your radiator may be the culprit. Often the solder, braze, or plastic welding which connects the tanks, tubes, and cooling fin sections will corrode and leak through tiny holes when it is hot. Since most metals and plastics expand when hot and contract when cool, the majority of the fluid loss may occur while driving and you may never notice a large leak. Also, when the fluid is cooler the pressure is less and, hence, less leakage. A million micro leaks = one large leak.
Also check the auxiliary plastic filling tank ( if applicable ) for leaks at the seams or cap.
Test: Look for white residue (depends on coolant type)on the radiator and hose juctions and filling tank.
Fix #1: You must find any leak(s) elsewhere as well. Try an anti-freeze additive product that stops micro leaks. Even new cars have an additive from the factory just for this problem. Your local auto parts store can make a suggestion.
Fix #2: Change your hoses and make sure all the surfaces are clean and free of scratches. If the flanges are dented or gouged then smooth the area with some 400 grit abrasive paper. If the flaws are deep you can resurface it with solder or a metal filled two-part epoxy like "JB Weld" or "PC-7". Do not use the 5-minute set stuff because it easily breaks down from exposure to heat or water.
Fix #3: Replace the radiator, only at the suggestion of your mechanic.
Good Luck!
I had a leak on my 2001 Chevy Malibu V-6 3.1L Engine that was on the inside of the V and up under everything, center of the motor. No evidence of a leak as it only occured when coolant system heated up and pressurized and then evaporated away without dripping, puddling or "visible" residue. As I had only owned older vehicles with overflow tubes I didn't realize how sealed the new coolant systems are, so adding (initially) a little fluid every month seemed like no problem. Then, after adding more fluid more often, the gasket completely failed to hold fluid, warranty had just expired too. So I paid for the repair and inspection/repair of any additional damage and I learned a lesson to do my homework on my 'newer' cars systems.
Windshield rearview mirror button removal?
I have heard that you can use a candle to warm the button up. Then you take a small screw driver or thin blade. You tap on the screw driver or thin blade and the button will come off. Just be aware that you risk breaking the windshield so make sure you have glass coverage on your car insurance before you attempt this.
Sometimes the rear view button gets glued upside down. The glass people tell me to simply purchase another button and glue it to the old button correctly. The rear view mirror won't know the difference.
Improving on my answer--- I actually heated up a button very carefully with a small butane torch and it came off the glass. According to other sources, the glue breaks down above 800 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a small flame and concentrated it on the button and NOT on the glass. It works, but you have to use caution.
I also had this problem w/ my '07 F-150. I installed a camper and could no longer see out of the interior mirror, making it useless. So to remove it and improve my field of vision
I got some "goof off" putting a little of it on the top of the button and letting it soak in.
then using an old guitar string, I worked the string behind the button and "sawed" until
came off. Afterward you can remove the rest w/a razor blade. P.S. use the biggest string you can without it binding up as the larger strings are wound and act more like
saws than the very small "straight" strings. and take your time, it is a slow process but will not break, scratch, or mark your windshield if done right.
