Why is your driver side floor getting wet their is no holes on the floor dont know were the water is coming from?

When you experience water on the mat of your car and there are no holes in the floor, very often the water is coming for a leaky windshield or door.

After drying the driver's side with paper towels and a squeegy, the leak from a windshield can be confirmed by spraying water from a garden hose onto the windshield and seeing if the water reappears in the floor mat. If no water appears then you will need to check the rubber seals around the door.

Two other possible sources -

1. floor vents of the heating and cooling system, or

2. a skylight when the rubber seal has dried out, however you should see moisture in the ceiling liner.

Has any one changed a Dimmer Switch on a 1993 Olds Achieva?

You have toreplace the whole thing.. It's called the multi-function switch, turn signals, cruise control (if you have it), headlight and dimmer switch all in one.. About $150.00 for the switch, plus labor. If you do it yourself, be careful of the drivers airbag.

Where can someone get a wiring schematic for a single phase 240V outlet?

You don't need a schematic. (Is this an existing or theoretical application?) After shutting off the double breakers which should be controlling such a circuit, install a new 220 volt, proper amperage rated dual or single receptacle using the same wires that are already there. It makes no difference which wire goes to which terminal on the receptacle. Check the amperage rating on the machine or appliance you are intending to use. Be certain the object is very well grounded. Make sure the existing wiring is adequate for the job. Otherwise you will have to pull in new wiring and possibly install higher rated double breakers. Check with your supplier to make sure the wiring you use is large enough to carry the intended load for the intended distance.

How do you change water pump on 1997 olds achieva 2.4?

On the quad 4 engine the water pump is on the back of the engine. For your application the consensous is that you must pull the timing cover off and insure that the twin cams remain in the same position. Then you remove the exhaust manifold in order to remove the water pump. I got an estimate and the mechanic said he wouldn't touch it for less than $600.

Another site you could log onto is www.Quad4forum.com. These people are quad 4 enthusiates. I hope I have been of service.

Air in fuel line?

If air is present in the fuel line, it can cause a number of issues with the vehicle's performance. The most common symptoms of air in the fuel line include:

  • Difficulty starting the engine
  • Rough idling
  • Stalling
  • Misfiring
  • Decreased fuel efficiency

Air can enter the fuel system through a number of ways, such as a damaged fuel line, a cracked fuel tank, or a faulty fuel pump. To diagnose the issue, a pressure test should be performed to identify the source of the air leak. Once the source of the leak is identified, it should be repaired and the fuel system should be bled to get rid of the air in the fuel line.

Why do the rear anti-lock brakes lock up at low speeds after new brakes were installed on a 1992 Oldsmobile Achieva S?

The Emergency Brake is probably adjusted too tight.

Well, that could be the case if the wheels don't turn at all. If they only lock up when you apply the brake, it's more likely that the star wheel is what's slightly too tight.

-

Every time you press the brake pedal, the star wheel assembly in the drums (which the '92 has) automatically adjusts itself (turns out on a bolt). Over time as the brake shoes wear away, this extending bolt pushes the shoes farther and farther out to make sure they stay close enough to the drum to stop the car.

-

When you do a brake job and put new shoes on, you have to remember to screw this bolt back in, otherwise they're now too close to the drum.

-

Keep in mind its normal for them to grab slightly until the new shoes set in. If its not too bad it may return to normal within a day. If not, or when you press the brake the back wheels lock up way before the front grabs, or even if you're just not comfortable driving the car, take the car back to the shop and get them to loosen the back brakes a bit.

-

If you do your own work and are comfortable doing your brakes, there is a plug you can remove on the backing plate and get in with a screwdriver to turn the star wheel while the drum is on. Don't do this yourself unless you're experienced or have the help of a pro. Your brakes are too important.

How do you disable anti theft device on 95 olds achieva?

Remove the cover on the steering column. If it has tilt steering unscrew the tilt lever out of the steering column first. On the passenger side of the steering column near the ignition switch there is 3 small wires going from the ignition to the top of the column. they are yellow, black, and white. The white goes to nothing. Start the car and let run. Right after starting cut the yellow wire then turn the engine off. Car will start then but you will have a flashing security light all the time when switch is on. Its best to attach a 20 gauge wire to each end of the yellow wire and run them under the dash somewhere out of the way and hook a toggle switch to them in case you ever want to turn it back on in the future. I just had to do this to my 97 achieva cause i was having starting problems and it fixed it right up. Trust me, it will disable the security.

Where is the location of the horn relay in a 1994 Toyota pickup?

I have a 1992 Toyota pickup, Had a HARD time finding the horn relay myself. The horn relay on my 1992 Pickup is located on the drivers side, to the right (or towards the front of the truck) of the small fuse block that has an access panel door on the kick panel, you have to remove the kick panel to see the relay, in my case it was just unplugged, plugged it back in and horn now works. The relay has printing on it and it says "HORN RELAY" Good luck! Laterz, Len P :)

What would cause a puddle of water in the rear passenger floorboard of Oldsmobile achieva?

It sounds like you may have a bad heater coil. Next time you get a puddle, smell it... Chances are it is coolant and not water

Where's the low pressure AC recharge fitting on the Olds Achieva 2.4L Quad 4?

The low pressure fitting (service port) in on the suction / low pressure hose (the larger hose between the dash and the compressor) since you are using 134a equipment the low charge fitting will olny fit the low size service port. Mark K-------Raleigh, NC

On my 96 Achieva SC, it is under the car just behind the radiator next to the compressor. It is a pain to get to. It is next to the radiator hose so you can burn yourself when you use it. Tom F------Macon, GA
