Chevy Lumina

Never heard of a top speed sensor. Vehicles are usually governed by the computer. The only way to remove the governor is to have the computer reprogrammed.

Check your vehicle manual?...or was it purchased used without one? Most newer models call for 5w30 average.

lift the hood it is on the right side.

I own a '96 Chevy Lumina that has the same problem and it sounds like it is a fairly common problem. I don't actually have the solution, however I know that if I turn the car to the on position and sit for a couple of minutes, then try and crank it over, it will magically start. I was thinking maybe there is just a bad connection or wire somewhere in the ignition system.

Yes

Check your connection. Make sure they are clean and tight. Especially your ground. Check it at the battery, alternator, motor, and frame. When you replaced that alternator, there was the heavy wire that connects to the bottom of the alternator via a nut. This connection has a rubber boot to protect it from shorting out because there's very little room around it when it's mounted in place. Check that this connection/wire isn't shorting out in that area.

"Blowing" FusesFuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse, and replacement fuses blow, especially if it happen repeatedly, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short. Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse].

No. You can buy adapters that plug into the rear of the head unit, though.

It means you have a "BIG" leak. I would check the bottom of the radiator or the lower radiator hose.

There is no battery reset.

It is called Refrigerant not Coolant. It is obvious you have neither the knowledge or the tools to accomplish this. If it is low of refrigerant, then it has a leak and needs repairing. Take it to a professional A/C repair shop. I love how people don't actually answer the question that was asked (as above). I gues he's tooo full of himself to realize that you don't care if it is called refridgerant or coolant. Anyways, to answer your question, Buy a charging kit (134a) from your local walmart store and take it home and read the directions. Most vehicles 1996 and above use 134a. Some subarus will not get cold unless they only have R12, but anyways, I did this on my wife's explorer and her dad's 1996 Lumina and it turned out great. You just have to watch the guage and make sure you don't overfill it. There is no danger in it unless you overfill it. Then you could damage the compressor. Find the low side under (or near) the air filter box and attatch the hose/guage. You're off! Thanks and sorry for the useless comments that someone left you above.

If you have the 3.8L engine, ignition timing is controlled by the computer and cannot be altered without making changes to the computer. If you have the 3.1L engine, which has a distributor, you can set the timing as you would on any engine with a distributor.

Stat is located within water outlet at bottom of top hose. Remove any component that blocks access to the stat. Drain rad at petcock or pull end off of lower hose.Remove water outlets 2-3 bolts, clean old gasket, observe how stat sits into housing then remove stat, clean and dry surfaces. Install stat in the same direction old one was, apply sealer to gasket and install outlet with bolts. Snug bolts EVENLY to avoid cracking the housing. Fill rad and run with rad cap off for 20 minutes topping coolant and bleeding out the trapped air. Done. I hope this helps you. Mark

I don't have a diagram, and I'm certainly not an expert, but I did have to locate the flasher on a 96 Lumina sedan and replace it. It wasn't easy to find even knowing where it should be.

You have to remove the panel under the steering column and it will be farthest from you on the very front near the floor.

remove bolts and replace it how do u think

It is on the throttle plate opposite of the bellcrank.

right on top on the intake. it is where to top radiator hose connects to the motor.

Was unit evacuated before recharge after compressor replacement?

No... the rear windows are different... the window of the 2 door has a concaved shape where the 4 door is closer to being flat. ..

Lift hood At seam between transmission and engine look down 1/2 way down on body of transmission there is a small cannister screwed into the side of the unit with a vacuum line attached.

Seized engine? Weak or dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch?

You'll need to pull the passenger front wheel, remove the wheel well cover. This will expose the damper pulley on the crankshaft. Remove damper pulley, remove plastic engine cover. Look inside you will see the sensor. Be sure if you replace it to install the new one exactly the same as the old one was.
