Where is the 1993 delta 88 high speed blower relay location?
Sorry but it is not a relay. It is a power transistor voltage regulator board located on the center area of the firewall and controlled by the Climate control computor. I have an 89 with low speed blower working only. I tapped into the module wire connection to a small switch I installed under the dash for high speed operations.
How do you check the timing belt on a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 royale?
a 3.8 has a timing chain not a belt
That's true, it's a simple in-block cam design with two gears and a chain. If there are no drive-ability concerns and the vehicle starts and runs normally there's really no need to check the chain. If you're thinking the chain has stretched or has jumped a tooth you'll need to disassemble the engine and inspect the timing marks. It's worth the 15 bucks to invest in a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for the whole procedure, especially if you haven't done this before.
If the engine won't start at all simply remove the oil cap and the little extension neck if this engine has one and watch the rocker arm while someone cranks the car over. If the chain is connected at all the rocker arm should move.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A BEARING IN ONE OF YOUR PULLEYS I WOULD TAKE THE BELT OFF and spin your pulleys ONE AT A TIME BY HAND AND SEE IF ANY OF THEM ARE HARD TO SPIN OR MAKE A NOISE WHEN YOU SPIN THEM REPLACE THEM IF THERE IS ANY DIFFUCULTY
I would like to know how you go about doing this also. We have the door panel off and can see the glass is out of its channel, we can raise the channel by cranking up the window but when we roll it down the glass stays put, then some time later the glass will fall.

Where is the starter located on a 1994 Geo Tracker?
Hi, The starter should be located on the right side of the engine, tucked in real close to the engine. If you will look down from the battery side, you should see the starter about in a line with the front side of the battery. If the starter is not working or sometimes not working, try hitting the starter while someone turns the key to the start position...really, this works. Until you can replace the starter, this is a way to keep going. It does mean you need to replace the unit but it's only two bolts and a few wires and looks like an easy job, you need jackstands or ramps or someone tha'll let you use their garage lift. I have to do this so I've been going through the same thing. Hope this helps and good luck. Steve H.

Whats the difference between a lock up torque converter and a stock one?
A standard torque converter always transmits the power through the fluid - even at crusing speed. This results in slippage and reduced effeciency. With a lock up torque converter clutch, once you are near crusing speed the clutch locks up the torque converter so that it rotates as a solid unit. If you need extra power - climbing a steep hill, etc it will unlock. As a result you have improved fuel mileage and less heat generated in the transmission. If you have a tach you will see the RPM drop about 200 ( more or less) when the clutch locks.

How do you change a heater core in an 1994 Oldsmobile 88?
Replacing a heater core on any vehicle is a hard job and that is by a someone that has skill and practice with replacing heater cores. So make sure that it is really bad before attempting this. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most difficult, most are at a minimum a 5 and some can be a 15. This is not a repair that I would suggest you undertake unless you have lots of time and information is on your side. It can sometimes take hours even if you know what you are doing. Take the time to think this over before you start because it is a difficult and time consuming job. The hardest part is just getting to the core. You have to know how to remove everything necessary to get to it without breaking something. It is very seldom close to being easy. That is one job I always dreaded when I was working.
