Mold & Mildew buildup in the A/C condenser. Do a Google search for ways to kill it and remove the odor.

I also need an answer to this question, but my floorboard does not get wet. Is it clogged or is it a bad heater core? It is most likely a bad heater-core if it is antifreeze.

It is in the right kick panel. You have to install a prom also/.

Sounds Like a problem with your sensors or elictrical components on your dash. Have you had issues with Water? We also have the 96 Achieva and I need to park it nose up to prevent water damage when it rains on floor..Ecspecially the drivers side

Still take to a qualified mechanic for a diagnostic. Ask for pricing in advance as some will do the service for free but most charge 50-80 or an hours labor :( Just to hook up to the machine.

There should be one located between the converter and muffler if you have a V-6 model

All except 2.3L and 2.4L (Quad -4) models

CAUTION: If it has the Delco LocII audio syatem, make sure you have the correct activation code before disconnecting the battery. 1) Disconnect the negative battery cable 2) Raise the vehicle and support on jackstands 3) Under the vehicle disconnect the solenoid wire and battery cable from the stater solenoid. 4) Remove the starter motor bolts 5) Remove the starter motor NOTE: the location of spacer shim(s) 6) Installation is the reverse of removal NOTE: Be sure to install the shim(s) in the same location

2.3L and 2.4L (Quad-4)

See CAUTION ABOVE

1) Disconnect the negative battery cable 2) Remove the intake air duct 3) Remove the cooling fan 4) Remove the oil filter 5) Remove the starter mounting bolts and pull the starter out enough to disconnect the battery cable and wiring harness from the solenoid 6) Lift the starter out between the intake manifold and radiator 7) Installation is in the reverse of removal

Edit: I just did this in my 97 4cyl and I just wanted to add to these instructions that you may have to unscrew the starter relay to get the cooling fan out. The starter relay is right next to the battery. Also, check the wires coming out of the starter relay. There is a purple wire that connects to a connector mounted above the oil filter. It's easy to accidentally unplug when you are installing the new starter, make sure you get it back in there or the car won't start.

Go underneath the front of car by the grill.Look up towards the hood latch.In the middle is a switch.Push it to the left and the hood should release.

A purge cylinder is a container used on the propane system. The cylinder aids in maintaining purity in gas lines.

i have a 96 olds achieva and my high beam light was flashing, i checked the headlights and one of my low beam headlights was out. once replaced the flashing stopped.

You really neeed a manual to get it right. Get one at AUTOREPAIR2000.COM

change that calipers

replace your front rotors. checked your brake pads first though.

have you hit a curb? may also need front end alignment if so.

Most likely the rotors are so worn that the car vibrates when brakes are applied.

Put the "O" ring on the line and lubricate it with a little silicone.

I just finished a front and rear brake job on my 2000 SL2. I first went to Just Brakes and they told me what was wrong and wrote up a huge estimate. I couldn't afford that, so I went to the public library and checked out a Chilton repair guide. It has step by step instructions with pictures. Everything on the front discs are basically bolt on. The rear was a little trickier. I had to replace the wheel cylinders, so everything had to come off. Just take your time and only do one side at a time so you can look at the other. A good tip is to buy the rear spring kit and the tool to take the shoe clips off with. It took me about 3 hours to do everything and I saved over $300

Here is what I paid:

$20 front pads

$35 front calipers x 2

$16 rear shoes

$12 wheel cylinders x 2

$11 spring kit

$20 to have drums and rotors turned Good luck.

There are 10 bolts holding the intake manifold onto the engine block. Five on the back and five on the front. If you letter the bolts A through J from left to right, rear side then front, you get the tightening sequence below. Tighten bolts in the number sequence shown. A-7, B-3, C-1, D-5, E-9 F-8, G-4, H-2, I-6, J-10 Torque bolts to 88 in-lbs, making two passes in sequence.

change the oil, tranny flush, radiator flush, change fuel filter, serp belt and battery if needed

If you are referring to the SL 3.1 then they have two Crankshaft Position Sensor's, one is located in the front of the engine at the lower right corner just behind the Harmonic Balancer (which will have to be removed to get the sensor out) and the other one is located on the left side of the engine closer to the front of the engine about half way down just below the plugs. This one is hard to get to. (The front of engine is facing the passenger side of the car)

Check the oil sending unit first, if this turns out not to be the problem then you might have a bad oil pump. If this is the case you should invest in a repair manual for vehicles that carry your make and model and year of car I bought mine for about 20.00$. good luck.

i changed heater core in a 1995 Oldsmobile achive you have take your dash under neath just about the centercloser to the right also you have jack up your car theres two hose you have to take off its har get them off and on its alot of work it takes time to do it right a 1989 grand am heater core will fit it as long as it has a 3.1 Fred zeestraten

The drian plug for the AC Evaporator is either not installed properly or clogged. If the AC was not worked on recently get under the car, find the drain plug and clear the drain out (With a straw or pen) Do not use lots of force. In most cases you can take the car to a place like Tire Kingdom of Goodyear and they will just shoot up a little compressed air up the drain plug. This usually clears up the obstruction. If that doesn't work you will have to do some work on the evaporator housing
