Grand Prix LE

The CV axle nut torque specification for a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix is typically around 150 ft-lbs (pound-feet). It's important to ensure that the axle nut is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to avoid any issues with wheel hub assembly and to ensure safety. Always refer to a repair manual or the manufacturer's guidelines for the most accurate information.

On a 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located near the thermostat housing on the engine block. It is usually found on the intake manifold or cylinder head, depending on the specific engine configuration. This sensor monitors the engine's coolant temperature and sends data to the engine control unit for optimal performance. If you're having trouble locating it, consulting a repair manual specific to your model can provide further guidance.

To replace the alternator on a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix, first disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove the drive belt by loosening the tensioner, then unbolt the alternator from its mounting bracket. Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the alternator from the engine bay. Install the new alternator by reversing these steps, ensuring all connections are secure and the drive belt is properly tensioned before reconnecting the battery.

On a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, the thermostat is typically located on the engine's upper intake manifold, near the front of the engine. To access it, you may need to remove the air intake duct and other components for better visibility. It’s usually housed in a thermostat housing, secured by bolts. Always refer to a repair manual for specific details and procedures.

The cost of plexiglass for window replacement typically ranges from $20 to $50 per square foot, depending on the thickness and quality of the material. Custom cuts and specific finishes may increase the price. Additionally, installation costs should be considered, which can vary based on location and labor rates. Always check with local suppliers for the most accurate pricing.

To fix the timing on a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE with a 3.1L V6 engine, first ensure the engine is at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke for cylinder #1. Then, check the timing mark on the harmonic balancer against the timing tab on the engine; it should align with the specified degree (usually around 0 degrees). If it doesn't, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor slightly until the marks align. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it's set correctly.

A grinding noise after replacing the starter on your 1997 F-150 could be due to improper alignment between the starter gear and the flywheel, often caused by an incorrect starter installation or using the wrong starter for your vehicle. Additionally, the starter gear may be engaging with the flywheel too aggressively or may be damaged. It's also possible that debris or worn components in the flywheel are contributing to the noise. It's advisable to double-check the installation and inspect the flywheel for any issues.

To uninstall the ignition key switch on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix LE, first disconnect the car battery to ensure safety. Remove the steering column cover by unscrewing any screws and gently prying it apart. Then, locate the ignition switch, disconnect the wiring harness, and remove the mounting screws to take it out. For installation, align the new ignition switch, secure it with screws, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the steering column cover before reconnecting the battery.

You don't disable it. All you do is take it out. Open the compartment that is accesible in the driver's side dash when you open the driver's side door. The area is pretty cramped and it is hard to get to, but the door chime is tucked back in there. The only way I know to describe it is a small black box with a hole in it for the sound to come out. I don't remember it having any markings on it. I just listened for a while to find out exactly where it was coming from.

The resistor is on the upper left side of the firewall. there are two screws that hold it in place. and it has 6 or 8 wires with it.

If your talking about the Neutral Start (Starter Safety)

REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Caution: On models equipped with the Theftlock audio system, be sure the lockout feature is turned off before performing any procedure which requires disconnecting the battery.(This switch is also referred to as the PNP (Park-Neutral Position) switch.

2. Shift the transaxle into Neutral.

3. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands.

4. Trace the wire harness from the Neutral start switch to the connector and unplug it. Detach the wire harness from the two retention clips.

5. Lower the vehicle.

6. Disconnect the electrical and vacuum connectors from the cruise control servo if equipped. Remove the servo and set it out of the way on the cowl.

7. Remove the nut and detach the shift lever from the transaxle.

8. Remove the bolts and detach the switch. If the original switch is to be reinstalled, scribe a sharp line on the switch mounting bracket around the heads of the mounting bolts before the switch is removed. This will aid in position the switch on installation.

9. To install the switch, line up the flats on the shift shaft with the flats in the switch and lower the switch onto the shaft.

10. Install the bolts. If the switch is new and the shaft hasn't been moved, tighten the bolts. If the switch requires adjustment leave the bolts loose and follow the adjustment procedures below...

ADJUSTMENT

11. Line up the outer notch on the switch with the inner notch on the shift shaft and tighten the switch bolts.

12. Connect the negative battery cable and verify that the engine witll start only in Neutral or Park.

If your engine is a 3.1L V6 and it sits horizontally in your engine bay (as in 3 spark plugs in front and 3 behind the block next to the firewall) then the valve should be located above the exhaust manifold that's in front of the firewall. it's inside a little tube and it should have written on the tube; "PCV".

I have a 2000, I'm sure they are the same..take the four bolts off the top cover (the one that says 2.4 or whatever) and carefully lift the piece out...there are plastic and rubber boots attaching the cover to the plugs.

www.motorcraft.com shows the spark plug gap as .044 inch

if it is your running lights that wont come on, your emergency brake could be on, or the sensor may be reading that it is on. this defeats the running lights. you will know this is happening because the emergency brake light will be on. if this is the case, reach under the drivers side door and with the e-brake off, wiggle the e-brake cable back and forth. the running lights should come back on once the emergency brake cable is in the off position.

This is a job of extreme difficulty/skill level and should only be done be experienced technicians. The transmission cooling lines need to be disconnected. The transmission then needs to be supported. The transmission mount can be disconnected followed by the bell housing bolts which fasten the assembly to the engine. The drive shaft can then be dropped. Lastly the bell housing bolts can be removed allowing the assembly to be lowered.?æ

they would go all mental and start a gran theft auto like everyone else

the fuel filter on your grand prix is located on the drivers side right beside the fuel tank. hope this helps, brewski It is located under the drivers side floor acessable from under the vehicle. For pics and instructions check out http://www.pfyc.com/supportfiles/gasfilter/ hope this helps. "G"

Luxury Edition, I believe. Just as "SE" stands for "Sport Edition".

Spark plugs are threaded into the cylinder head on the engine. They are sometimes hard to locate because of the use of composite materials used to hide their appearance. Automotive manufacturers like the idea of a sleek flat looking engine bay, so they hide it all behind plastic.

Look for 4, 6, or 8 (depending on the number of cylinders in your vehicle) wide heavy gauge wires grouped together. Follow these to your spark plugs.

One note to add, not all cars have ignition wires. Such as the GM quad 4 motor for one. On the top of the motor there is a coil housing cover that needs to be removed to access them.

under the glove box is a 4 prong multi connector( white plastic ) behind the blower. onplug it ( Very tight quarters). The Part it plugs into can be removed with 2 screws 5.5mm socket. Pull it down and the resistor pack circuit board is soldered to it. Part is under $30

Under the dash? Thought it was under the hood...or beneath wind shield somewhere. Under the dash, passenger's side, near the firewall.

undo motor mount in front and put jack under engine and gently lower engine until you can see back plugs

Well, if you want to make it harder on yourself, you can change them the way I did on my 98 Grand Prix. Don't mess with motor mounts and just try to reach back there using a mirror and skinny hands to pull wire off, untighten, replace, retighten, wire back on, and lose 2-3 tools in the engine compartment that never fell through to the ground. It was fun!!

Make sure the car wheels are chocked. Be on level ground. Make sure the transmission is in Park. Remove the forward most bolts in each of the two motor mounts in front of the engine. Have someone help you push the car forward and the engine will move away from the firewall as you do this. once you get the car forwrd enough make sure you have the wheels chocked again so the car can't roll backwards. You will see an "eye" on the bottom of the motor mount that you can stick the bolt back trough once you get the engine rocked forward enough. Once you get the bolt in the eye you will have plenty of room to get down behind the engine. You can go further if you don't want to use the bolt through the eye. Just push the car forwrd even more and chock the wheels again. You will want to make sure that whatever you have securing the wheels will not come out. You wouldn't want it to happen and get you arm pinned in between the firewall and the engine.

Just changed spark plugs on my 98 Grand Prix with 3.8L V-6. Was able to get to back spark plugs without moving engine, although you may skin some knuckles--my hands and arms are not skinny. The hardest part was removing the old wires--twist the boot first to break them free from the spark plug before trying to remove them. I also replaced the wires as a precaution and since I found some cracks at the wire-to-boot base. You will need a ratchet with a flex head and a short extension between the ratchet and spark plug socket to ease removal. Using dielectric grease on the boot before installing it on the new plugs should ease removal of the wire in the future if you need to.

It is 1-4-6-3-2-5 left to right on the coil pack. The cylinders are numbered 1-3-5 left to right at the back of the engine and 2-4-6 left to right on the front.

depending on which you are trying to change i know the rear seat needs to be removed to access the rear speakers. there is no other way to remove the rear dash and or grilles
