loosen the nut on the idler pulley. There is a bolt at 10:00 o'clock from the pulley.
Loosen this bolt until you can put the belt on then tighten the bolt till the belt is tight then tighten the nut on the idler pulley. Recheck the belt tension after a day or so..
How do you disable the factory alarm on a 1995 Honda Passport that keeps it from starting?
what we do is disconnect the positive battery line. leave it off for a few seconds, then reconnect it . that normally stops the funkyness. if it acts like ours did, its because it needs a new battery, they lights flickered and beaped and the locks locked all by themselves. it was weird! try a new battery first, if not, call your local Honda dealer, mine is really helpful and helps me over the phone with everything!

Situation: It was Sunday night and I had disconnected my '95 Passport battery terminals to clean them. Totally routine, right?? Surprise!! After re-connecting them, the alarm was periodically flashing the parking and dash lights and beeping, and prevented starter operation. No friendly dealer was available... After many phone calls - even to quite knowledgeable people - no help. Owner's manual - cover-to-cover - no help, of course!
Answer: Finally called AAA. When a wrecker driver arrived, he said the battery was weak, but I knew better. After convincing him, he said "o.k." and showed me a little, black button on the driver's side, mounted on the plastic housing near the heater discharge for the driver's feet.
Procedure: He turned the ignition on, pushed the button, and turned the key off. Repeated the procedure twice more. Engine then cranked! Hellohh!!! Why on earth would any alarm manufacturer put innocent, unknowing people into such a predicament?? I can envision an even dangerous situation arising from such a foolish design! Sure hope this may yet help another owner.
Check for a loose inner or outer tie rod.

Is there a fuel system shutoff and reset on a 2001 Grand Am?
I have a 2001 and it does have a fuel shut off, but only activates when the passlock system is activated. If it seems to happen intermittently, have a new key made. My old keys and lock cylinder were worn out and causing the anti-theft system to engage. If you go through the 10-minute reset procedure (in your manual) it will start. I had a new key made (not cut from an existing key) and the problem has not happened again in over 6 months. Eventually I am told you would need a new ignition cylinder, but this is a cheaper temporary solution.
In short, the only fuel shut-off is the pass-lock fuel pump disabler.Hope that helps.
AnswerI have a 2000 Pontiac Grandam with the famous Ass-Lock system installed, had the same problem, very frustrating.Your anti-theft passlock system senses the RESISTANCE value across your ignition cylinder when your key is in it, over time your key will 'wear' the inside of your ignition cylinder and itself thus changing the 'R' ( resistance value ) to the trigger threshold and causing intermittent ' fuel shutoff ' problems due to Passlock. A new Key and ignition coil will fix the problem, OR there is an easy workaround.From inside the car, pull the center panel-shroud off, this is the plastic housing surrounding the stereo and climate controls, it is just clipped on and easily removed, once off you will be able to see and access the wire bundle coming off the rear of your ignition cylinder,you may need to remove some of the black insulating wrap to reveal the wires. You are looking for the only yellow wire, this is the ' R ' ( resistance sensing ) lead for your passlock, with the ignition turned on, cut this wire, the Passlock will assume sensor failure, illuminate the SECURITY light in your dash and bypass the fuel-shut-off portion of the protection system. If you wish you can remote a switch by addig about 5 bux worth of extra wire and a switch between the now cut ends of the yellow 'R' lead and routing the remote switch under the dash, this allows you to re-enable your passlock fuel bypass security system at your leisure.The only disadvantage to this workaround is the constant illumination of the SECURITY light, however your central locking and all other features remain fully functional and hey you won't have to spend another 10 minutes beating your dash waiting on the system to reset. Good Luck !Can old antifreeze cause an engine light to come on?
no, not unless it rusts the radiator and all the fluid leaks out
Not likely, but corrosion to some sensors that monitor your cooling system could. Antifreeze should be flushed and changed annually to protect the engine's cooling system from freezing and internal corrosion that can cause premature wear to more expensive parts.
How do you remove the dome light housing to replace the bulb on a 2000 Dodge Intrepid?
pull the whole light down from the head liner (it is just held on by 2 clips it will not break )then you pull the light itself from the holder change it and reinstall the complete light assy. to the head liner
Rubber oder coming from vents maybe caused by you're blower motor.If this is the case it should bemaking a growling sound or asqueeling like noise. If this is the case you're squirel cage maybe rubbing. Leaving a burningsmell. Pull the blower motor out and look at it there should besigns of ware on the squirel cage.If not maybe the motor itself.With out further information thiswould be a good place to start.
What would cause a foul smell to come from the vents on a QX4?
if your vehicle has air conditioning the smell could be caused by build up of bacteria on the heater matrix and in the vents, as this bacteria decays it causes a smell inside the cabin, this can be resolved by purchasing air specialist air con cleaner the is sprayed into the sir vents. the smell can also be caused by the heating of leaking coolant from the heater matrix, this would also combined with the car steaming up, check the coolant level to see if it has dropped.
Ventilation filter: 1 - Behind glove compartment 2 - Behind lower instrument panel. 3 - It's clipped in. 4 - Remove lower filter, slide down upper filter, remove ventilation air filter. 6 - Replace and put clip back on.
Why a trunk lid will not close?
It is possible the trunk latch has been tripped with trunk up. Use your key fob/remote trunk release on inside and pop trunk. Now try and close. Please let me know if this helps.
Where does antifreeze go in a Dodge Intrepid?
Depends on the year, but in most, under the hood is a place It's called Coolant.
Is the PCM the same thing as a computer on 2001 intrepid?
The PCM is the powertrain control module ( engine computer ). There are also abs, airbag, transmission, body, cluster, and HVAC computers on a 2001 Intrepid.
How do I change heater core in a 1994 Dodge Intrepid?
Remove center console, remove bottom side of dashboard, disconnect electrical connections on outboard side of fuse panel and from steering column. There is also 3 or 4 other ones underneath ...just look around you should be able to figure out which other electrical connectors have to come off. Remove upper side of dasboard...kind of heavy...i recommend 2 people for this...
Go under hood and remove windshield wiper box for access to the heater core lines..remove.. (they may break as they are plastic from the factory) don't worry the new heater core is copper....Disconnect a/c lines from plenum and remove 3 or 4 nuts on the engine compartment side that hold on to the plenum.
Go back inside and remove 3 or 4 bolts that hold the plenum on from the inside and it will come out as an assy. Then just replace heater core and reassemble and recharge the a/c system...
It took me about 6 hours to do this with a lunch break....Kind of a hassle but it will save you alot of money..
What would cause a misfire in cylinder 6 on a 2001 dodge intrepid 3.2L?
Faulty: spark plug, spark plug wire, ignition coil, ignition module, fuel injector are the most common. Coolant leaking into a cylinder is another.
Internal engine problems such as burnt valve, broken valve spring, bent push rod, worn rings

How can you determine if your 2002 Dodge Intrepid has a factory amplifier?
If it has one, it'll be in your trunk, most likely mounted to the DaffleBoard (The area your speakers are mounted)
Change the brake fluid in 2000 Dodge Intrepid?
yes it can and it should be done every 30000 miles or 2 years
Check the plug wires as well, to insure that there is not a high voltage leakage. Check the wiring to the injector and the camshaft sensor. If all else fails it could be a computer issue.
How do you reset alarm system on Dodge Intrepid?
I used the remote to lock/unlock the doors and it reset the anti-theft on a 1997 Dodge Intrepid.
