Where is the air pump located on 2000 43L jimmy came up with secondary air injection malfunction?

this is a pretty common question/problem, so here's what i answered to someone else (your 2000 is the same): on the 2001 gmc jimmy 4.3L v6 engine there are two air pump check valves: there's a pipe (about 1" diameter) that comes off each of the exhaust manifolds. the check valves are screwed onto those pipes. then a rubber hose (about 1.25" outside diameter) is clamped to the front of each check valve and connects to the air pump, which is hidden behind the vehicles grille in front of the radiator. typically, if you need to replace these (the life expectancy is about 3-4 years), it starts a chain of events that might be as follows: during the wintertime, water from the exhaust leaks through the worn out one-way check valves, and ends up in the air pump. the water freezes, and the ice jams the air pump, which may or may not ruin the air pump, but which usually blows the air pump fuse, which is impossible to find if you're rummaging around the passenger compartment fuse box or the under-hood fuse and relay box. it ain't there! so if you're looking under the hood leaning up against the front bumper, slide to your left around the passenger side headlight. now you should be looking at the battery, leaning up against the passenger side fender. look down between the battery and the fender. you have to push a few things out of the way, but there you will find a green 30 amp blade fuse (about 1" x 1" fuse--and $2.99 at autozone). this blown fuse should have triggered the check engine light and a dtc (diagnostic trouble code) of p0410 (secondary air injection system). for that vehicle there is a tsb (technical service bulletin) put out by gm (bulletin # 04-06-04-015; march 2004). if you want to print out some literature about all that I've mentioned just surf on over to http://www.obd-codes.com/p0410 for more links and documentation. my credentials: self-proclaimed auto mechanic for 26 years (sorry, no ase certification yet [but still trying to find time to study for the tests]) and college dropout (after 3 years of electrical engineering)--so, in other words, don't believe a word i say; just go to that website and get it straight from the horse's...

How do you replace the heater core on a 1995 GMC Jimmy?

Looks like you have to take the whole dash apart. I`d love to have the engineering team in my garage right now so I could bash their faces in with a ratchet.

on second thought use a pipewrench ... a ratchet wouldn't do enough damage

Where is the rear hatch fuse on a 1995 jimmy?

All the fuses are, if you open the drivers door all the way, its on the side of the car, but inside the car, so if you open the door all the way and look at the side of the dash i guess you could say then theres a thing that you turn and it opens up and there should even be a fuse indicator on the thing that's on the fuses

How do you remove the front and rear speakers on a 1998 GMC Sierra?

Front - Take the Doors off. They Should have a couple screws in the door, and than it should pop out. You can either go buy the door popper tool(10.00 BUcks at Checker), or just pop them with a screw driver. Depending on how old they are and how many times they have been poppe, they will more than likely just break. SO Be prepared to get new ones. Rear - Take the whole paneling off. It's really not that hard.

How do you change the front wheel bearings on a 1995 Toyota Tercel?

Go to a book store and buy either a CHILTON or a HAYNES manual/repair book for your car's year, make, and model. AUTO ZONE HAS THEM.

These give you step by step illustrated instructions on 100's of repair procedures, ON YOUR CAR. It shows you in the proper order, with pictures, how to take it apart, and how to put it back together, properly.

Most of these books are about $15.00 USD, and are worth every penny.

The only problem here is they do not make an at home repair guide for any Toyota Tercel after 1994. Here is the kicker, every thing about the Tercel changed in 95 so finding info on the Tercel from later years is almost imposible unless you buy a shop owners manual for all Toyota compack models for like $250.

What would make a tapping noise when vehicle is turned on then noise quits after ten minutes?

1. One or more lifters in the valve train system may be stuck in the compressed position due to sludge or other buildup from less than optimal oil change periods. As the engine warms up the combination of heat and warm oil softens the buildup enabling the lifter to expand and remove any slack in the valve train.

2. One or more lifters and the camshaft may be worn past the expansion limit of the lifters thus creating slack in the valve train. As the engine warms up the parts in the valve train, primarily the lifter and push rod expand and remove the slack. This type will eventually wear past the limits of expansion and become continuous tapping. Again this may be cause by less than optimal oil change periods. If the onset of tapping was shortly after an oil change where the engine had a "cleaning treatment" performed, the cam and lifters were probably severely damaged during the treatment. Engines with such damage may continue with little or no additional damage with proper maintenance however there is no guarantee. 3. If the tapping is very light, as opposed to the louder, heaver sound of lifters, it may be the fuel injectors. These always make some noise but as the engine reaches operating temperature the noise usually decreases to the point it is obscured buy the other noises from the engine.
