Will a car start without the alternator hooked up?

It will start if the battery is fully charged. But you will soon (in less than an hour in most cases) end up with a dead battery requiring you to have the vehicle hauled to the garage anyways.

Where is the power steering fluid cap on a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34?

The cap is on top of the pump which is located on the front (passenger side) of the engine between the drive belt and the plenum. Says so on top of it! Umm...no. The cap is located on the bottom of the firewall on the passenger side on the 3.8 liters found in the '98 and '99 Z34 Monte Carlos. It is a SEALED system which means that unless you have a leak you should never have to put fluid in it.

Monte Carlo ss 2000 When engine light is on and temp gauge doesn't work the AC doesn't work. When the engine light stays lit or doesn't but the temp gauge works the AC works. WHY?

I found a recommendation from another blog site about this problem. You don't need to be an expert to fix this problem for free. Simply follow the bellow steps to reset the grounding and the comptuer.

1. Remove the negative cable on the battery

2. Remove the PCM fuse (found in the top fuse box under the hood on the passenger

side) and replace with the same fuse after a few minutes.

3. Removed the ground wire (found under the hood on the driver's side above the headlight bolted to the cross bar that covers the radiator) and sand any paint off of the body of the car at the contact point and also sand bolt and connections.

4. Reconnect the ground.

5. Reconnect the battery. That's it. I had the same problem a while back and this worked for me.

Where is the fuel pump on a 1995 Monte Carlo located?

AnswerFuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. It is part of the assembly called "fuel sender", which consists of fuel pump, electrical connector, fuel pulse dampener, bumper, insulator, strainer, mounting bracket and feed tube. Fuel sender is located at the top-middle but rear of the tank. It can not be accessed unless fuel tank is removed.

Fuel Tank Removal:

CAUTION: Extreme care must be observed. There is a risk of fire and personal injury. No open flames, no hot objects, no smoking to be allowed. Work in a fully ventilated area. Work only when engine is cold.

1. Disconnect negative battery cable

2. Remove air bag fuses

3. Loosen fuel filler cap (to facilitate draining/venting pressure)

4. Relieve the fuel line pressure from the "pressure connection" (located at passenger side at the end of the back/rear injector rail/line) by loosening it and wrapping a towel to soak up the leak.

5. Raise the vehicle

6. Remove vent tube-restraints at the bottom of the fuel tank

7. Clean/wipe all those connections

8. Fuel needs to be drained through small vent hose located next/under the filler neck hose (Larger dia hose), located at the bottom-rear side of the tank. Do not try to drain the tank through the filler neck as you may damage filler check valve (ball).

9. Loosen fuel filler vent hose clamp

10. Wrap a clean rag around the hose and slowly pull it off from vent tube and immediately drop into spare gasoline container/bottle. Use a hand operated fuel pump device to hook up the hose as necessary and drain the tank

11. After draining the tank, remove the filler hose from the filler pipe and cover it up with clean rag

12. Remove the quick-connect fittings by twisting opposite and pulling away, slide the dust cover back if equipped (These tubings/fittings are coming from the top of the tank)

13. Remove the vapor hose from the front of the tank

14. Remove the exhaust pipe hangers to allow exhaust pipe to drop slightly

15. Remove the heat shield bolts and remove those shields located underneath the tank

16. Support/hold the tank by assistant and then remove four bolts holding the tank by two straps

17. Lower the tank slightly to reach and disconnect fuel sender's electrical connector at the top. also remove retaining clips

18. Remove the vapor hose from the fuel sender

19. Remove the rear vapor hoses

20. Now lower the tank and place in a clean environment. Do not repair tank by welding, it has special coating inside. Manufacturer recommends cleaning by hot water.

Now Fuel Sender assembly can be dismantled as following:

1. Remove the quick connect fittings at the fuel sender assembly itself

2. Remove retaining nut (called "cam")

3. Lift up the Fuel sender from the tank and Remove the "O" ring

4. Do not handle the fuel sender by the fuel tubes as they can get damaged easily

5. Support the pump with one hand and hold the strainer with other hand. Rotate the strainer in one direction and pull off the pump. (remember the position/orientation of the strainer)

6. Detach the fuel pump's electrical connector

7. Place the fuel sender upside down, pull the fuel pump downward to remove the mounting bracket, then tilt the pump outward and remove the fuel pulse dampener. Replace parts as required

How do you repair a door hinge in a 1988 Monte Carlo?

The best thing to do is to purchase a complete new hinge assembly and replace it. These GM type vehciles were notorious for the hinges going bad.

AlsoIf you take the hinge out most part stores sell the repair kit (the brass bushings and new steel pins) in their HELP! section. It's not too hard to do.

I have a 86 Monte and the doors sis sag down and you had to slan them shut, but all you need to do is replace the upper pin, not the whole hinge. you need to take your door off and hit the pin out and put the new bushings back in the right spot and you have to mallet in the pin whenthe bushings are allready in place. your going to need a jack with a towel over it or another perosn to help put the door back on.

What is the meaning of stear?

"Stear" isn't a word, but "steer" in this sense would be to guide the course of a vehicle.. not sure why this is even on here.

Your 99 Monte Carlo is leaking coolant under the throttle body Can you tell you what parts are located under the thottle body that can be leaking coolant?

the intake gaskets are prone to leaking. Get a hanes book and good luck Actualy, the intake manifold has 2 different versions. The first version is prone to leaks. The second is much better. Also the replacement throttle-body gaskets(GM# 12580919, $40.00) fit BOTH versions and have been redesigned to help with this. The coolant passageway is located at the very bottom of the throttle-body. Your engine sometimes idles rough because it is also leaking into the intake manifold. I won't go into details here, but it should take you only an hour the first time using common hand tools. I'll warn you that the throttle-body is fragile and you do not need to remove any sensors(doing so will sometimes strip the threads or break the screws off!).
