How do you find a vacuum leak in your 2000 sable?

First inspect every single vacuum line connection, looking for cracks and loose connections. If you find no obvious defects, then Start the engine and then using a spray can of WD40, spray all of the connectors where the vacuum lines are connected and the length of the lines. When you hit a leak, the engine will change revolutions as the WD40 is sucked into the intake and burned. You will notice the difference. You can use FI Cleaner, but WD40 is much safer. If you still do not find the culprit, take a close look at the Brake Booster vacuum diaphragm.

The spark plug gap is .44 for a 2001 windstar LX. I just found out today and in the midst of finding out how to get to the back three plugs. Getting the first aid kit ready because it looks like it's gonna be a knucklebuster!

Actually the spark plug gap is .054, 0.044 is for the 3.0 which they stopped using in 98 I believe.
it all depends on what type of spark plug you'll get, it could start from .044 to .054 and another way to figure out is by asking one of the parts counter employee of any auto parts and they should be able to tell you...

Why is the speedometer not working on your 1991 chev pickup 1500 WT?

The speedometer and antilock brake system (ABS) are linked together. Is the parking brake light on the dash on also? If it is, disconnect the upper wiring harness connector to the ABS module under the hood for ~10-15 seconds with the key switch in the OFF position. This will reset the ABS and the speedometer. The ABS module is located next to the brake master cylinder. Its about 6"H x8"L x1"W and should have 2 wiring connectors plugged into it. If you have any doubts as to what and where the module is, you can disconnect the battery for ~5 minutes to accomplish the same thing. Down side to this is you'll have to reprogram your radio and the computer will have to relearn your driving habits to run like before.

The regulator is the part that raises the window. Can be a notched curved piece and a X shaped arm that raises the window or a plastic strip that runs in a grove. The motor can be changed.

What does a GROSS EVAP FUEL LEAK code in a 2001 Hyundai Elantra mean and how do you detect what the problem is?

from my past experience its one of two things : 1. someone left the gas cap loose after fueling clear the code and drive after tightening gas cap. 2. you have a defective solenoid or broke hose or item in the evap sys . only two ways to check a smoke machine for evap systems or a vaccum pump for evap sysytems. its possible to have a sticking vent solenoid but that requires a smoke/vaccum tool and a scanner that can activate a solenoid. cheaper to go to the dealer,than spend thousands buying tools. The Hyundai Accent and Elantra often have a problem with the charcoal canister becoming plugged. On the driver side of the car in back by the gas tank there will be the canister and hoses coming out of it. Pinch the hoses with your fingers and listen for a crunching noise. If you hear it disconnect the hose and little charcoal pellets will run out of it. If so then you need a new charcoal canister. They cost around $125 and can be found online or at a Hyundai dealer.
