How do you change a timing belt on a 1998 Plymouth Breeze 24?
This how-to is not specific to the 1998 Plymouth Breeze, however it covers all the steps, and saves me a lot of typing. Important info from the manufaturers manuel that is specific for the Breeze: Tensioner Pully torque = 20ft. lbs. Tensioner Retaining Bolts torque = 23ft. lbs. DO NOT TURN CRAKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT WITH TIMING BELT REMOVED. This is NOT (see gates.com http://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfm?location_id=3598) an INTERFERENCE engine. When I changed mine, I purchased the Dayco Timing Belt Component Kit (belt tensioner) which came with how-to instructions with illistrations for changing the belt. What you will need: 1. Combination Wrenches 2. A Socket Set 3. Torque Wrench 4. A Harmonic Balancer Puller 5. A Three-jaw Gear Puller 6. Screwdrivers 7. Timing Belt Cover Gasket Set 8. New Timing Belt 9. Jack 10. Jack stands Before You Start: * Follow these instructions carefully. Read and be sure you understand them before you begin. * Gather together all of your tools and supplies before you begin. * Allow plenty of time to do the job so you don't have to hurry. * Remember that these are general instructions. For more detailed instructions pertaining to your specific vehicle, consult an appropriate repair manual. * Safety is important whenever you're working around machinery. Beware of hot objects, sharp instruments and hazardous materials. * Don't substitute tools unless you're sure you won't compromise either your safety or the performance of your vehicle. * Never work on a vehicle that is only supported by a jack. Use jack stands to support the vehicle while you work. Work on a solid, level surface. Never jack a car up on dirt or grass. Removal: 1. Disconnecting the negative battery cable. Insure you have your radio security code (if equipped) and record any preset radio stations and the time on a piece of paper to allow for quick resetting once repairs are made.) 2. Remove the distributor cap. 3. Using a wrench on the crankshaft bolt rotate the engine until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the 0� mark on the timing scale. 4. Verify the distributor rotor is aligned with the index mark on the distributor housing indicating the rotor is in position to fire the number one cylinder. If not, rotate the engine another full turn. 5. Remove any components or accessory drive belts that interfere with removing the timing belt cover. This varies by model; consult your service manual to determine which parts need to be removed from your vehicle. 6. Remove the bolts or screws holding the timing cover in place, and lift the cover off the engine. Some engines have a two-piece timing cover. 7. Check for proper alignment of the crank and camshaft timing marks. NOTE: Many engines have a dot or index line on the pulleys or sprockets that must be lined up with corresponding marks on the block, cylinder head, or accessory shaft. On some engines, the index mark on the camshaft sprocket aligns with the parting line of the first camshaft-bearing tower. This is very important if you're replacing a timing belt that has broken. Consult your service manual for the correct alignment procedure for your vehicle and correct any misalignment before installing the new timing belt. CAUTION: Check the area around the belt for signs of oil or other fluid leakage at seals, cam cover and oil pan. Leaks must be repaired before the new belt is installed. 8. Loosen the timing belt tensioner. NOTE: Some vehicles may require a special tool to reach tensioner mounting bolts hidden by components such as motor mounts. Some engines require a special tool to release a spring-loaded timing belt tensioner. However, most engines have a spring-loaded tensioner that can be operated using common tools in the following manner. 9. Loosen the mounting bolt(s) holding the belt tensioner but do not remove it. 10. Pry the tensioner away from the belt and then retighten the mounting bolt(s)to hold the tensioner in the loose position. 11. Examine the tensioner pulley for damage such as dents or cracks. 12. Spin the tensioner pulley and listen for a rattle or humming noise that would indicate loose or worn bearings. Uneven wear at the rear of the old timing belt could indicate a misalignment between the tension pulley and timing belt due to worn bearings. If any indications of damage or worn bearings are found, replace the tensioner pulley. 13. With the tension on the timing belt relieved, the belt should slide easily off the sprockets. Timing belts that have been used for a long time may stick in the pulley grooves and require some gentle prying with a screwdriver to release. Installation: Caution: Do not rotate the crankshaft or camshaft after removing the timing belt unless it's necessary to correct a timing mark misalignment. This could cause engine damage on an "interference" design engine. 1. Compare the old and new timing belts. Compare the shape of the belt teeth, the spacing between the teeth, and the width of the belt. 2. While the belt is off, check the cam and crankshaft sprockets for wear or damage. Replace them if any damage is found. 3. Slide the new timing belt into position on the sprockets. CAUTION: Do not force a new timing belt over the sprockets. If the belt won't slide easily check to make sure the belt tensioner is fully released. Timing belts are strong in their correctly installed position only. Do not bend or twist them into any configuration other than the correct one. 4. Loosen the bolt(s) holding the timing belt tensioner and allow it to contact the belt. 5. Proper timing belt tension is essential. Adjust the timing belt to the correct tension, following the procedures for your specific vehicle as outlined in your service manual. 6. After the belt tension is properly adjusted, verify the timing marks on the cam, crank, and accessory sprockets are still in alignment. 7. With a wrench on the crankshaft pulley, turn the engine over by hand at least two complete revolutions in its normal direction of travel returning to the 0� mark. This will help seat the new belt into place on the sprockets. On "interference" engines, it will also allow you to feel for any hard resistance that may indicate pistons and valves coming into contact. 8. Verify the position of all timing marks. 9. Reinstall the timing covers and tighten the attaching bolts or screws securely. 10. Reinstall the components and drive belts that were removed to gain access to the timing cover. 11. Reconnect the negative battery cable. 12. Start the engine and verify proper operation.
your car is notorious for this problem. the only harm done is that it causes that annoying light to come on, other than that, youre safe. your car is notorious for this problem. the only harm done is that it causes that annoying light to come on, other than that, youre safe. There are hundereds of items that can turn the check engine light on. If it is setting the "gas cap" codes it has a vapor leak between the fuel tank and the engine.

What type of transmission fluid is for 97 Plymouth breeze?
Type your answer here... Use ONLY ATF+3 OR ATF+4 transmission fluid, ASSUMING that you have the four speed automatic transmission. NEVER . . . EVER . . . use any other type of transmission fluid in Chrysler four speed automatics! For instance, Dextron will KILL your transmission, and Mercon will make the shifting hard and unpredictable! The viscosity (thickness, such as water versus syrup or honey) is CRITICAL on those transmissions, because the solenoid pack (electrically operated valves) modulate (pulse rapidly), for smooth transitions from one gear to another. If the fluid viscosity is wrong, the programming in the TCM (transmission control module, or transmission computer) is all wrong for proper shifting throughout all temperature ranges! For the exact same reason, most transmission additive products will also mess up the shifting! Be advised that, if you change the fluid by taking off the pan (which holds about four quarts on a 1997 Ply. Breeze), that does not change the fluid that is in the torque converter! I think the total capacity including the torque converter) is NINE quarts in the four speed automatics, in 1997 Ply. Breeze vehicles!
Where is the battery located on a 1996 Plymouth Breeze?
it's located in one of the front fender wells.
AnswerDrivers side fender well. Jack up the car and remove the front tire. There's a section of the fender liner with a big picture of a battery on it. You can remove that part of the fender liner via some thumb twist screws and get to the battery.Chrysler inconvenience is great.
Though jacking up the car and removing the front driver's side tire makes access to the battery much easier, it is not required. Turn steering wheel as far to the left as it will go and you can access the panel that contains the battery. Though this is another prime example of Chrysler inconvenience, Chrysler did make it where you don't need to access the battery except to replace it. In the engine compartment, on the driver's side, there is a negative and positive battery connection. These two connections are not place directly next to each other, but are not 'hidden'' so you should be able to locate them pretty easily. The negative is more visible than the positive, but still easy to find both. Connect to these if you should need to jump the car or charge the battery.
How do you change the clock on a Plymouth Sundance?

How do you replace an O2 sensor on a Plymouth breeze?
This is on a 1999 Plymouth Breeze. There are two O2 Sensors. Bank 2 is between the engine and the firewall. You will have to lift up the front end and reach it from the bottom side. There is a 7/8" nut attaching the sensor to the exhaust. You will need a long handled open end to reach up through this area and the car needs to be allowed to cool first. This end could also be ceased onto the exhaust so you may need to allow WD-40 or some other lubrcant to sit on it over night for it to loosen. Remove the nut end and unclip the electrical end. This is the difficult part one handed due to the space limitations. Make sure you have plenty of light to assist with the reattachment of the electrical end.
Bank 1 is close to the catalytic convertor on the passenger side. It is easy to get to and replace. Same as before just loosen the nut and undo the electrical end. The part I have not figured out yet is the clip that holds the wires up. the rest is easy. Warning! Do not get any lubricant on the sensor end or it will mess up the part.
What are the signs of a rear main seal leak in Plymouth breeze?
I imagine it would leak oil like crazy between where the engine and transmission come together... good luck!!
What is Plymouth breeze fault code no bus?
This code appears on the odometer display. It is actually "NO BUS", meaning that the communication "bus" (or data path) has been interrupted between the vehicle's powertrain control module (PCM, Main computer) and the dashboard processor (mini computer). On my Durango, the cause was a faulty PCM. Other sysmtoms included having the truck shut down randomly and "check engine" light coming on, but throwing no code at the OBD-II port. Check the connections on the PCM (there should be 3). It is probably mounted in the engine compartment, above the passenger wheel well. If the connections are good, and you can't find any other disconnected wires, it's probably the PCM. A dealer/mechanic must change it, because it needs to be programmed by Chrysler with VIN and mileage. I paid $800. Good luck!
I would suggest that, instead of relying on the previous posters answer you get someone to check the actual connections to and from the components. In my case it was a wire that had rubbed through the insulation. A simple fix that didn't even cost 8 cents.
How do you remove a starter from a 1999 Plymouth Breeze?

What do you need to put a turbo on a Plymouth breeze?
some of the early 2.0l dodge turbo parts would help you to switch it a turbo motor, the computer will be the hardest part to make work, also if the car has more then lets say 20,000 miles it may not be able to live very long, also will need a set of turbo cast heads! need to lower the compression, so will need turbo pistons too!
How do you recharge a 1996 Plymouth breeze ac from empty?
You will need a set of a/c gauges, a vacuum pump, freon and oil....... Put the gauges on both the low and high side ports (blue goes to the low side and red goes to the high side and yellow will go to the vacuum pump).... Vacuum the system down for about 1 hour and then let it sit for 1 hour to see if it will at least hold a vacuum and if so then vacuum it out for an additional 1 hour and then recharge it. Add your freon and oil at a slow pace and watch the gauge readings. Depending the outside temperature you will what the high side to be between 200 to 250psi and the low side to be between 30 to 40psi.

How do you replace the EGR on a Plymouth Breeze?
1. Loosen the hose clamps on the two main airboxes (one at the front of the car and the other above the transmission on the drivers side).2. Disconnect the hose from the front airbox to the engine valve cover.3. Loosen the clamp that attaches the front airbox to the carburetor (there is a little space below that airbox that allows for a hand and screwdriver to get in there).4. Remove the airboxes - the front one first, then the back/side one. You should now be able to see the EGR valve at the drivers side rear corner of the engine!5. Remove the two bolts that attach the metal exhaust line to the EGR.6. Remove the hose from the top of the diaphragm - pry it carefully from the diaphragm. You should see it behind the engine near the top.7. Remove the bolts that hold the EGR to the engine block. You may need to disconnect one of the old EGR vacuum lines if it wraps around any other line.8. Install in the opposite order with a new EGR engine-side metal gasket.9. Reset the ODB-II computer.DONE AND GOOD LUCK.
