Chevy Prizm

It all depends on where the leak is. Most shops are going to charge you anywhere from $25 to 75$ per hour. If it's a valve cover gasket, just do it yourself. Personally, I'd change one for twenty bucks plus the cost of the gasket. Same goes for a faulty oil sending unit. If it's the crank seal, you're looking at a three hour job or there abouts. If it's the oil pan, you've probably got a two to three hour job. As I said, it all depends on where the leak is and where you take it. If you're handy, just do it yourself and save a bunch of money.

My daughter has replaced all the interior door handles on her 1998 Chevy Prism. We purchased new handles from a local dealer and she was able to install them herself by carefully removing the handle and reversing the process to install the new unit. However, she needs to replace an exterior door handle and we can't figure out how to start with this one.

I bought one from Ebay and uninstalled the previous one by removing the screw at the center, sliding the whole thing towards the steering wheel, prying it out a bit (at the side farthest from the steering wheel), popping out the "wire" that pulls the door opening mechanism from the plastic clip, and then prying the whole thing all the way. The wire is L shaped and goes through the yellow part (or white) first then continues to where the yellow parts meets the rest of the handle. To install, first pop the wire in, then push the whole thing in, then slide it back away from the steering wheel. Screw it in to secure.

Toyota changed piston size in engine. It is shorter and creates wear on piston rings.

To disable the daytime running lights (DRL) on a 1998 Chevrolet Prizm, you can locate the DRL relay in the fuse box under the dashboard or in the engine compartment and remove it. Alternatively, you can also disconnect the wire harness from the DRL module, which is typically found near the headlight assembly. Always consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions when working with electrical components.

It is just below the lower radiator hose.

First you need to determine what is causing the to the oil loss. Is it leaking and if so determine from where and repair it. If there is no leakage then take the hose off of the PCV valve and look inside. Is it damp with oil? It should be dry. You need to be sure that the system is working properly. Hearing a PCV valve rattle does Not mean it is doing it's job/ The valve should be pulling fresh air in from the valve cover or air filter area. If all of this checks out then you can do a wet and dru compression test to determine if you have a ring problem. If that is the case then you will be looking at a rebuild job on the engine.

what was said maybe true but i have a 99 prizm and every 600 miles you gotta add a quart of oil. don't ask me why its the way the car is made. i took everything a apart, and nothing was wrong, took it to the dealrship still nothing wrong. and if that is ur only problem i wouldn't worrie about it. i have had mine for 4 years putting 1900 miles on it a month, and i have never had anything break. and during the 4years the was totaled, ditched 2 times, rear ended, and drove threw a flood to where the water was coming in the doors. and still nothing wrong. why do i keep fixing it? cuz its a solid car with 162956 miles. but yah if that's ur olny problem don't worrie about it just every other week check your oil and youll be good.

You need a special strut spring compression tool. Very very difficult to do it by yourself, unless you have this tool. Getting the struts off is not too hard, putting the new strut in is the hard part.

yes the fuse will be labelled MCU or something similar

On average for that car its going to cost you between 800-900 for the job. It is a fairly easy job on the prizm despite what the mechanic will tell you. If you have any friends or family at all mechanically inclined the clutch kit costs about 150 and you would just take the flywheel to a machine shop to be resurfaced for another 20. The job shouldn't take longer than 3 hours.

In my case it ended up to be a dirty fuel filter. Unfortunately, the fuel filter is inside the fuel tank.

it sounds most likeky to be a broken transmission mount. they cost around $20 in a parts store. You may have a broken transmission or exhaust bracket.

Written in the owners manual and on the drivers door post.

The evaporator canister is only used for the AC system. If there has been a failure in the compressor, you need to change the orifaces found inside the condensor line. and probably the evaporator too. You need to have the system flushed to get small particles out of the system that will cause damage to other components and/or shorten the life span of the components that you just replaced.

A prizm maker is a person or company that specializes in creating prisms, which are optical devices that refract light and can separate it into its component colors. Prizm makers often work in fields such as optics, photography, or scientific research, producing prisms for various applications, including telescopes, cameras, and spectrometers. Additionally, the term may refer to manufacturers of collectible trading cards, such as Panini or Topps, that produce "Prizm" style cards featuring unique holographic effects.

the Chevy prizm doesn't have a timing belt it has a timing chain. it doesn't need to be changed unless you hear something or 150k miles.

it cost usually 300 with a 90 dollar kit

hope that helps

The short answer is that it is in the same place it would be if you do have an owner's manual! The longer answer is that it is under the hood on the firewall, almost directly in front of the steering wheel. To check the brake fluid level, view the marks on the side of the reservoir, which is clear. If needed, brake fluid can be added through the lid on top. Be sure to wipe off the lid and the area surrounding the lid with a clean cloth before removing the lid. This keeps dirt out of the brake fluid.

yes if the gas cap wasn't on properly then the change in pressure would set off a sensor.

put the cap on right or replace it and if the check engine goes away after a few days that was your problem

Setting the time on the Chevy Prizm is tricky. The Prizm's manual says to change the clock using two buttons labeled HR and MN -- presumably for HOUR and MINUTE. Unfortunately, these two buttons are not identified in the manual and are not labeled on the radio. The two HOUR and MINUTE buttons are the two buttons located at the lower right of the radio control panel. These two buttons are labeled with DOWN and UP arrows. ---------------------- To change the MINUTES: ---------------------- Push and hold the UP ARROW button for a couple of seconds. The minutes on the clock will begin to increment slowly. Keep holding down the button until the correct minute is reached. When the minutes reach 59 they wrap around to 0 and then keep on incrementing. ---------------------- To change the HOURS: ---------------------- Push and hold the DOWN ARROW button for a couple of seconds. The hours on the clock will begin to increment slowly. Keep holding down the button until the correct hour is reached. When the hours reach 12 they wrap around to 1 and then keep on incrementing. ---------------------- TIPS ---------------------- TIP: you don't have to turn on the car to change the time. TIP: once you get close to your desired hour or minute, you can stop holding down the button, and instead, start pressing it repeatedly. This gives you more control over setting the hour or minute, and it helps you avoid going past your desired time. TIP: when you go past the time you want, it is tempting to press the down arrow to go back. This doesn't work. The DOWN arrow only increases the hour and the UP arrow only increases the minute. You have to continue pressing the hour or minute button until the hour or minute wraps all the way around and comes back to the time you want.

Most Winchester model 94 AE(angle eject) rifles sell between 200-350 dollars.depending on overall condition and a good bore.The age of your rifle cannot be determined without you supplying the serial number to your Winchester.

It is behind the headlight on some cars.
