Chevy Lumina

There is no need to bleed the system, just turn the wheels all the way to left and right a few times, it will bleed itself. That's how you do that.

One of the bulbs is burnt out.

250 mph = 402.34 kph.

So it would seem.

If the ignition is in the column it may also be jammed by the steering wheel lock. Try turning the steering wheel and holding it while turning the ignition key.

5W-30

Try getting a jump start. Could be a bad battery. If your battery is good, then you will need to get a new starter.

It may be the Starter or the battery make be dead,

Almost exactly 160 kmph.

Bad coil?

Bad distributor cap?

If not HEI ignition-could be bad coil wire

ecm electronic control module.

Could also be fuel injectors going bad. Remove the connectors to the 6 injectors and test across the injector with an ohm meter. Should be about 12 ohms. Readings around 6 or less will start showing your symptoms and should be replaced. If you plan to keep the car and it is in good shape other than this issue, I would recommend replacing them all to save time later. If one is failing, the others aren't far behind.

The motor is located under the cowling, under the wiper arm on the driver's side.

1. Disconnect the battery negative lead.

2. Use a wiper arm removal tool (similar to a gear puller) to remove the drivers side wiper arm.

3. Remove a 8-10 8mm (i think) screws that secure the cowling & remove it to expose the motor.

4. Unplug the the 3-wire connector: squeeze downward on the top part and pull out toward the drivers side.

4. The motor is heavy so support it when you remove 3 bolts that hold the motor to the firewall.

I removed the bench seat by removing the seat tracks...4 bolts on each side beneath the carpet. I just use the the 2 rear bucket seats now and take them out when I need the room for cargo. Saves about 150 lbs which gives better performance as well. You could also take the tracks to a machine or welding shop and have them cut off the rear of the tracks where the stops prevents you from sliding the bench seat out. I thought of that but really haven't found the need for the 3rd seat, so I'm sticking to the former approach.

-----

1 - remove the middle row for easy access

2 - remove the 6 bolts attaching the seat to the sliding brackets

3 - remove bench seat from van. It is very heavy.

To remove sliding brackets:

1 - remove trim piece by sliding door or cut away carpet

2 - remove captains chairs in the front seat

3 - unscrew the wiring harness and heater vent

4 - lift carpet & wiring harness while sliding the seat bracket off the track.

5 - repeat on other side

6 - reassemble everything.

400 km = 248.55 miles (rounded)

700 kph = 434.96 mph.

Start by inspecting the bulbs that don't light. Remove the bulb and make sure the contacts aren't corroded. If not corroded, change one bulb and test. If it doesn't work with the new bulb, then check the fuse(see owner's manual for which fuse is brake lights). If none of this works, check the activating switch located on the brake pedal arm.

= New

The brake light in the rear window and the main brake lights are on a different circuit. After the signal leaves the activating switch on the brake pedal arm, it splits. One circuit goes straight to the high mount brake light, the other goes into the turn signal switch. If the rear turn signals work but the brake lights don't, suspect the turn signal switch, not the bulbs and wires. Better to check this before removing and checking bulbs, wires and fuses.

It is a common problem with the W-body cars like Lumina, Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, Olds Cutlass and Pontiac Grand Prix. (Approx 94-99 models). Part number is GM 190005031 (w/o radio accessory control) or 19005032 (with radio controls)

It depends on your mechanic, and what he charges for his services. I want to know why you wish to replace the head. Are you sure it is beyond repair? Is the head cast steel or aluminum? Hard to answer your question w/o full knowledge of the problem. I would guess the cost at or about 450-900 dollars.

if it's the same transmission it will bolt right up.

can you be a little more specific?

I believe it happens when the steering wheel is turned either to the left or the right. My girlfriend didn't have my steering wheel lined up straight and broke the key in my ignition!

The mirror bracket is generally held onto the 'button' with a very small Allen screw. Look for this and loosen it.

-Get Loctite Auto Mirror Adhesive at any auto parts store to re-stick the button.

head gaskets blow and intake manifold gaskets break

To change the front speaker simply pry off the cover using a flat screwdriver or equivalent, next unscrew the three Philip screws, then pull the speaker plug out.

To install new speakers just revers the process. You'll probably have to cut off the factory plug so you'll also need to know which of two wires is negative and positive unless there is some kind of adapter plug that connects the factory plug with nonfactory speakers.

For the rear: first pry off both plastic side panels (where the rear seat belts runs from) and pull them down to the side along with the weather striping, next fold down the back seat and pop off the plastic molding, then pill up the rear deck cover (it may be best to pry it up from the corners) the rear speakers are now accessible; remove the four Philip screws then unplug the speaker wire. To install; reverse, the same rules apply as with the front speakers.

NOTE: the panels are fasten with pins, they look like plastic screws. When you reinstall them make sure the pins are lined up with the holes the just pop it back in. The weather stripping just pills right off and pops right back in.

There is a stop safety relay switch in the transmission. If it goes bad then the vehicle will cut off as soon as you take it out of park and put it in gear. It can be accessed fairly easily and replaced faster than changing a tire.

You must push key and turn.
