How do you change a thermostat on a 3.4l v6 engine in a lumina?
Answer: With moderate difficulty. Typical of automotive engineers, they designed a 3/4 inch tube to block the removal of the upper radiator hose connection to the thermostat. Instead of using a simple bolt and spacer, they have a one piece bolt and stud holding the upper radiator hose connection and a brace for the 3/4 inch tube. The tube can only be properly removed if the exhaust manifold is removed, as the exhaust manifold was installed over the attachment point of the tube. Not real bright on the engineer's part. The easy way to replace the thermostat is to remove the nut holding the 3/4" tube from the flange stud. Next remove the bolt/stud holding the bottom of the thermostat flange. You may have to grind a cheap 13mm open end wrench thinner to fit the tight space. I used a cheap stubby 13mm open end ground thin. In the process of removing that bolt/stud, the small attachment bracket for the 3/4" tube will be bent. No problem...just bend it straight later. Remove the other bolt holding the flange covering the thermostat. Clean the old rubber gasket from the counter bored thermostat seat. The thermostat comes with a rubber gasket, and also a paper gasket for spacing. If you don't use the paper gasket, the flange will be bent when you tighten down on the bolts because the rubber gasket is thick. Instead of reusing the original lower bolt/stud combination, I used an 8mm-1.25 X 45mm bolt, nut, a flat washers, and a spring type split lock washer . Position the thermostat with the rubber and paper gasket, the upper radiator piping flange over the thermostat, and install the upper bolt finger tight. Straighten the previously bent attachment flange on the 3/4" tube. Put the lock washer and the flat washers onto the bolt. Now holding the 8mm nut between the thermostat flange and the flange for the 3/4" tube, screw the 8mm bolt through the tubing flange and the nut you're holding and into the flange for the thermostat. It may take two wrenches: One to hold the nut, and the other to turn the bolt. You will simply have to tighten the bold in such a manner that the nut and the bolt tighten down simutaneously to where the thermostat flange and the 3/4" tubing flange are tightened snug. It is more important that the nut holding the thermostat flange is tight than the bolt holding the 3/4" tubing flange. The 3/4" tubing only has to be secure in that it won't have any looseness. Note: Do not use a bolt any longer than the 45mm length. If you do, you'll probably crack the thermostat mount or punch through and hit coolant. This explanation sounds difficult to understand, but once you get into it, it will all make sense. You can use two or three flat washers to make sure that you don't go too deep with the bolt.
Can you replace 3.1 engine with 3.8 engine in 98 lumina?
Yes, the 3800 series motor is the best engine that GM has made for some time, it would be a wise choice to do so.
How much does it cost to replace the oil pump in a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina?
it depends on where you bring it or if your doing it yourself.
Where is the oil pump located on a 98 lumina 3.1and how difficult to change?
The oil pump is located inside the oil pan on the bottom of the engine. It is really not that difficult to change if you have an air 3/8 drive ratchet, floor jack, and good torque wrench. You will need to buy a new oil pan gasket as the old one will be ruined when you remove the pan. Clean the pan thoroughly before re-installing. Torque the pan bolts to 12 lb/ft of torque. Make sure the gasket is in place and does not slip. Not positive about the oil pump torque, but on a small block Chevy it is 65 lb/ft. Call your local Chevy dealer to the exact torque on the 3.1 V6.
What replaces the distributor on a fuel injected motor?
On cars without distributors, the engine relies on sensors to send fire to the plugs. Sensors are commonly used to find the position of the crankshaft to determine the proper time to fire the plugs.

Depressurize your fuel line by starting ur engine and pulling out the Fuel Pump Fuse and let the car die or crank engine a few times. TURN IGNITION OFF.

How do you replace a battery in a 1999 Chevy Lumina?
Figured it out on the second try. After unscrewing the window washer "tank", pull the tank forward and up and the fuse box that appears to be in the way "gives" enough for the tank to come up and out. I way a little to gentle the first time, thinkng the fuse box does not move, but it will, perhaps by design. Now you can get to the battery and unscrew the bolts holding in the battery.
What is the correct firing order for a 1993 3.1 V6 Chevy Lumina APV?
See the Related Links for "1993 Chevy 3.1 V6" to the bottom for the answer.
it could be a few things......if your car has an anti-theft system in it, it wouldn't let power to your car if its activated. also, check your starter relay, it is, on most cars, inside the driver side wheel well(you must take the tire off, and the splash guard too), it will be right there. after you check that, check the starter, and the starter solenoid. if all is well, it is your ignition switch.
Answerthe first thing you should check is your battery. Just bring it in to have it checked for free at an auto parts store. AnswerCHECK THE FUSE LINK IT A RED WIRE WITH A ROUND CYCLINDER WITH WIRE COMING OUT FROM EACH END, USUALLY BY THE BATTERY OR THE STARTER SOME VEHICLE HAVE ONE CONNECTOR THAT HOLD ALL THE FUSELINK FOLLOW THE POS CABLE WIRE TO SEE WHERE IT CONNECTED TO AND SEE IF IT HAS ALL THE FUSELINKTHE NEXT WAY TO CHECK WHY YOU HAVE NO POWER. CONNECT A 12 VOLT TEST LIGHT [FIRST MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY HAS 12.5 VOLT] BLACK WIRE TO NEG POS AND THE RED TO THE STARTER IF THE TEST LIGHT UP YOUR FUSELINK IS GOOD IF NOT YOUR FUSELINK IS BURNFIND THE FUSELINK AND REPLACE IT
P.S IF YOUR BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD THE TEST WOULD NOT BE GOOD MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY FULLY CHARGE. ITS A MUST
I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU
AnswerI would have this problem, occurring about 1-3 times a month; always recently after turning the ignition off. One day I finally discovered that it was the ignition key itself, which became worn over time. It was not inserting far enough to cause the switch to work. If i make a concious effert to insert the key in straight and fully each time, it will and always has started ever since. Answerwell, if u look on the passenger side and u open the door, look on the side of the dashboard. there is a fuse box there. fuse #39 is the one u should check... i have had mine blow and ur car will not start without itWhat is the most common reason for the Check Engine light to come on in a 92 Lumina 3.1L?
It means that the computer has detected a condition and requires that you use a diagnostic scanner to find out what's wrong. It's foolish to speculate, especially when the computer can tell you exactly what's wrong.

How do you change the rear rotors on a 1998 Chevy Lumina?
Remove the 2 bolts from the caliper and then the 2 to the caliper bracket and just take off your rotor. Installation is in reverse of removal. Just make sure to put anti-seize on the bolts before putting them back in
