Pontiac Sunbird

Sorry, the question should read "after replacing the gas cap" Added: It may not be the gas cap that is causing the fault. You could check for other error codes. If your sure it was an error caused by a loose or faulty gas cap you may have to take your jeep in and have the error code cleared/reset, and they could check for other error codes at the same time. Added: I recently "reset" my check engine light by disconnecting the battery for about a half hour. Took a terminal connection off and went and watched a (tv) sitcom. The light was off when I reconnected and drove off.

take it to a brake shop. breaks are life or death in a car. if your too unexperienced to change them yourself take it in. its not worth loosing your life over 150 bucks.

the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank witch is located under the car in front of the rear axel. fairly easy to replace. if u can take it apart u can put it back together

It would probably have to be hooked up to a diagnostic machine. Or you might be able to get a code reader to see if that does it.. but I doubt it if its a 2004, it probably will more than likey require the expensive diagnostic machine that is at mechanic shops.

Its a pain! because i had to do it. You need to remove the two bolts holding the fuel rail on to start out. You may also want to remove the clamp that holds the fuel return line in place . Next I would recommend trying to remove the air intake duct right above the fuel rail.. it likes to get in the way. after removing this I would carefully un bolt the fuel pressure regulator(careful there is still fuel in the line). Now all you really have to do is use some strength and get the injectors off of the fuel rail and out of the cylinders.. good luck.

If you have the 2 Liter engine I'm pretty sure it is on the Cylinder Head really close to the air filter assembly(to the left of it).

it is in the alternator

So it's in the tank. Remove the plastic cover from bottom of tank it my not have one. Remove both straps holding tank. remove all fuel hoses after you lower the tank. on top of tank were hoses are, their is a skinny ledge. Tap with a hammer, it will turn. Once it's lose, pull sending unit out, your pump is on it.

Fuel tank.

The thermostat is located inside the radiator. Remove the radiator cap and pull the thermostat up. Remember to put the replacement thermostat in the same position push the new thermostat down in the radiator. The O-ring gasket will automatically seal.

I have a 89 pontiac. If it is the same type. The fuel filter should be in a bracket hanging underneath the gas tank near the muffler area. Be very careful removing it because fuel wit come pouring out. Get bucket ready.

If it's anything like my 92 Sunbird, (and they do have the same inherent problems), they are leaky cars (water wise) and it's probably wiring. There's a grounding problem it sounds like. I used to have a similar problem in my 92 when I used the cigarette lighter, it would blow the taillight fuse everytime. Replaced the cigarette lighter and problem went away. See, the cigarette lighter was rusted and the ground was faulty, so it would ground to the nearest fuse (which was taillight fuse) overload it, and blow the taillight fuse. Your parking lights are probably not grounded properly and it is doing the same thing my cigarette lighter was. Is it just me or are these cars just like the old Ford Tempo's and Dodge K cars, very reliable for the most part, but very leaky?!

This is the order for the bolts. I do not know the torque. Assuming that the graph is a top view of the head bolts. --8--4--1--5--9-- --7--3--2--6--10--

you have to disconnect the hoses first that are on the firewall it is best to go at it from under the car. Then after you have disconnected the hoses you need to remove both panels under the dash and you will see it from there as it is step by step

On the main drive serpentine belt, there is a tensioner pulle. it is positioned at 6:00. relieve tension remove belt. reverse process for reinstallation.
