How do you replace the fuel filter located on a 2001 Kia Sephia?

Yea i had a problem with this one...follow the fuel line coming out of the tank the filter will be in front of the tire on the left (if i remember correctly) rear side. Be sure to have a bucket handy it will leak out about 1/2 a litre of gas or so.

ANSWER:

The filter is actually on the passenger side, right in front of the rear tire. It's pretty simple to change, and if you want to avoid excess fuel spill, it's easy to depressurize the system. Take out the lower portion of the back seat (it should just pull right up, no tools needed). This will expose the fuel pump access, next disconnect the electrical wire running into the fuel tank to disable the pump. Start the car and let it run until it dies, now you're depressurized. Change the filter, then reconnect the pump (turn the key on for a moment and the system should automatically repressurize). That's it.

Where does the speedometer cable run from on a 1997 Dodge Neon?

The reason you can't find reference to the speedometer cable in the 95-97 Dodge or Plymouth Neon's is because it doesn't have one. The speedometer is all electronic, there is no traditional mechanical cable like you see in older model vehicles.

There is a small sensor called a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) mounted on the transaxle, which sends electronic pulses to the PCM (Performance Control Module) which is connected via wiring harness to the circuit board that controls your speedometer.

If your speedometer or other gauges are working intermittently or the speedometer doesn't work but the other gauges do, odds are very good it is due to faulty soldering on the original circuit board, a very common problem in the Neons. The Chilton manual has instructions on how to remove the instrument panel, all you need to do is remove it and resolder the connections on the back of the circuit board that controls the instrument panel.

It's not as difficult as it sounds, the front panel on the dash more or less lifts right off giving you very easy access to the instrument panel, it only takes the removal of 4 screws for the panel to come right out. A really good walk thru for resoldering can be found here:

You don't need any fancy equipment or really too much experience soldering, all you have to do is just hold a soldering iron on each of the indicated solder points long enough for the solder to heat up and change color, it only takes a few minutes to do the whole board. Then just replace the board.

If none of your gauges work then it could be the soldering problem, or it might be a faulty PCM module though normally if the PCM goes it will generate a host of other problems as well. Also this could be caused by a problem in the wiring harness or a loose connector either too the circuit board or to the PCM or even to the VSS, but that would be a less common cause for this particular problem.

I didn't need to solder anything. After removing the panel from the dash, I noticed that on the back there are some sensors that had come losse. I just tightend all of them up and put my dash back together and now my speedometer works fine. I have a 97 Plymouth neon.

Whats the easiest way to remove excess rubbing compound on a car?

I let a car sit in the sun with wax rubbed on it one time thinking it might do a better job if it was baked on. After hours of rubbing to get the wax buffed off and the car to shine, I found that sprinkling a little water on it helped the process go faster; but do just a little area at a time - maybe just moisten your spounge.

What does the service code p1776 mean for a 2003 dodge intrepid?

P1776 is a transmission fault code. It is for Solenoid Switch Valve Latched in Low Reverse Position. Solenoid packs were a problem that would set that code in these model cars, but it could be a valve body also. I've replaced both for this code..depends on what set the code. I'd make a trip to a Dodge dealership for a proper diagnosis.
