Remove plastic engine cover by unscrewing the oil fill tube from the front of the engine, like your adding oil. Then lift the front of the cover and tip the back of the cover down off the barb that keeps the back of cover in place. Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine and it is about an inch under where the radiator hose hooks to the engine. It has 2 wires comming out of it. It looks like a 3/4" or 19mm wrench or socket hex head will remove it and it is an easy DIY project if your car is overheating and the fans are not turning on.

Brake pedal won't pump up?

This is usually a master cylinder problem. Get under the car and look for oily residue drip lines on the inside of the tires meaning a busted wheel cylinder. A leaking cyl drains the fluid out of the master and allows air to enter. If the master lost fluid and got air in it it may still be good but you have to do all the steps needed to restore it to service after you rebuild or replace the leaking wheel cyclinders.

92 Oldsmobile 88 block heater location?

I have a 1992 Olds with the 3800 engine; the block heater is almost inaccessible. The engine is sideways and the block heater is in the frost plug location just over the frame at the back. Suggestion: unless it is leaking just take the frost plug out in the front of the engine and install the block heater there where it is accessible.

If a 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Brougham has been sitting for two years and now cranks but will not start is there a switch to reset?

Try blasting a little starting fluid into the thottle bore and then cranking it.

There is no reset switch but you will have to do some prayer meeting and maintenanec. After 2 years the gas has likely turned to shellac or therebouts. Get rid of the old gas.

Emptying the tank a great place start but pull number 1 and see if spark,also after doing tank,check see if new gas is flowing thru lines.

How do you replace belt after replacing water pump?

Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories.They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it. On most cars and trucks the procedure is basically the same. First off, get the correct belt by bringing your cars VIN number to the parts store(located on your cars dashboard) the parts store may need it. If there are two choices, get them both so you can complete the repair. Once you have the correct belt, take a minute to review how the belt runs across the pulleys and also check to see if your car/ truck has a underhood diagram of belt routing in case you need it. In most cases you will need a socket wrench or breaker bar with either a 3/8" and /or 1/2" head on it and possibly a short extension. Some models may require a wrench of these similar sizes.Now that you are ready to go to work, you will need to find the spring loaded tensioner which is generally located near the top of the belt path; it usually has a shinny pulley on it. Look at the tensioner and insert the tool into it and apply opposing pressure to release the belt.Now, simply install the new belt making sure it fits into the grooves on all the pulleys. Start the car to check it and you are done and you saved yourelf some money!

How do you remove and install an ignition cylinder in a 1992 Delta Eighty-Eight Oldsmobile?

They are same special tools what u can order them from the net or maybe u can find them at autoparts, i have the same problem , but i just wait like that for a while i use the screwdriver :) .....Good Luck ... Evidently,you have lost your keys lol.With keys removal very easy,without can be pain,Hopefully you have already purchased the new cylinder.Instructions should come with cylinder.You will need a steering wheel puller,roughly cost is about 12 bucks.You might also need a set of star drives. Set aside the day for removal,should take roughly 3 hours if all goes right,but extra time helps so not to get frustraded.Phillips and flat heads,adjustable wrench or correct size for steering wheel nut.Put parts in order as taking off,hence the first parts should be farthest away from you. If it has a release hole,use a straightened out paper clip this is the best case scenario without key. If it has locking pin and cylinder needs to be in run position to depress pin.Heres where the fun begins, everywhere you read will say drill the pin.Dont,go to the hardware store and purchase 2 dremel cone grindstones.Use these with a drill and grind the pin.Using a drill bit will just tear up the soft metal around it.Trust me on the 2 grindstones,you will need 2.By now cylinder should move just a tad.you can tell if pin is holding it up or not.Your not done yet,take a 3/8s drill bit and drill dead center of key hole.Make sure you have new cylinder in hand so that you know if drilling into anything but cylinder.Cylinder should fall apart in about 3 pieces.Remove those pieces,kind of match up with new to make sure all is out.Figure at least an hour on drilling center of cylinder.Wipe inside out to remove debri,light oil new cylinder with 3 in one.Slip in and start up.Put everything back together. Good luck,sounds hard but after you finish it you will realize not to bad.
