I have a 1990 Pontiac Safari wagon that would not start,after much testing we found one bad fuel injector replaced it and car started but ran terrible, did more testing and found bad ignition module, replaced module runs better but now have code #43 knock sensor and engine is running in default mode switched ECM no help must be knock sensor don't think knock sensor would keep car from starting but the other things mentioned here would. Hope this helps. This wagon has 3.1 engine. Havent changed knock sensor yet.

A T60 or T65.

There are many parts to a car that must be maintained. This problem can be caused by a bad fuel pump, filter, or fuel injectors.Ê

About 120.

If The Guage reads full all the time, chances are that it is toast. You'll have to replace the Gas Guage with a factory or aftermarket replacement. Auto Wreckers often provide a cheaper alternative, if you don't want top buy new. Honestly.......Give your gas tank a kick! The float in the tank might free up for awhile.

MY 94 3.1 V6 HAD THAT PROBLEM THE DIFF WAS THAT IT READ ONLY UP TO A HALF OF TANK. WHAT FIX IT WAS IN THE BACK OF THE TANK THERE ARE TWO PLUGS PULL BOTH OF THEM OUT THEN SWITCH THE KEY TO ON YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT WON'T READ GOOD OK THEN BACK TO THE PLUGS AND PUT THEM BACK IN. TURN THE SWITCH ON MORE TIME AND THAT WORK FOR ME.... HOPE IT HELPED

Hot-wiring a vehicle, including a 1992 Grand Am, is illegal and considered a criminal act. It's important to respect the law and the property of others. If you are locked out of your vehicle or having ignition issues, it's best to contact a professional locksmith or a mechanic for assistance.

There is nothing inside a torque converter to go out. if the transmission fails to pull it may be, fluid level, front pump, control system or clutches burned.

The motor could be bad. Takeit to a garage. I have a 92 sunbird convertable I had the same problem Its the relay switch located in the trunk on the left side of the pump mounted to the back wall of the trunk with one screw Unfortunatly it is a very hard junkyard part to find and you have to buy a new one from a dealer and it costs about $120.00 or so (very high i thought for such a little part) so I f your ready here is a simple easy and cheap way to fix it. First pull the conector plug fromp the pump shold be two thick wires orange and brown i think put a wire in each one and run it to a good baterry one on ethe positive and one on the negative ( don't matter which one it works both ways one way makes it go up then switch wires other way goes down that will tell you if its the motoe or not. Then if the motoe works then go and get a high output 3 way switch and wire it your self deleting the relay and mount it in you dash then you have a new switch and you top should work good luck1

cheak all the fuses. there should be on and it proubley blew

The electric motor is bad.

I had the same problem and it was the top cylinder that are finish i replace the top cylinder and the problem was solved. It depend where you live it could be a $300. to a$500 dolars fix. i got the cylinder from the convertable guy on the internet

Have a nice day gerrybelca@yahoo.com

I thought it was a major issue, too. One day I was talking to a friend with the engine running. I pressed the rocker switch and the top started to move. I found it wouldn't work with the ignition shut off yet the relay clicked...try it with the key in the "on" position.

It is on the right hand side of the steering column by the column support bracket. It is tucked in behind and you need to feel for the round device. It can pretty hard to find.

It sounds like it could be an alternator problem, the easiest way to determine this is to disconect the battery while it is running, if it stalls, or bogs out, replace the alternator. ( but it could just be faulty wire conections. ) hope this helps.

There are markings on the camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft sprocket. When one is lined up with a notch in the rear timing belt cover, the other should be lined up with the 10 degree mark on the front timing belt cover. Note that you will probably have to remove the front right wheel and splash guard to see one set of markings and the front timing belt cover to see the other.

It is the round black plastic thing i beleave on the right hand side or the DRIVER side of the car it has the plug wires going to it

have you tried using two people at a time to open the hood - one to pull on up on the hood while the other pulls the interior release?

only way my '94 Accord would open. (or I prised release open with a screw-driver and pulled the hood myself)

hope it helps

Yeah, I tried that to no avail. The cable seems to be broken at the latch mechanism. I don't think I can remove the grill, either, without the hood open. I can get a screw driver into the hood space but there doesn't seem to be any access to the catch spring. Anyone have any other thoughts? This happened with my daughter's '96 Accord, I don't know if it will work on a Civic. I crawled under the front of the car and "carefully" slid a long metal rod up past the radiator and pushed on the release lever for the hood.

Maybe this will help you. I hope so. http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/vauxhall_archive/t-204070.html FriPilot

The fusible links on my '89 Z24 are located at the starter solenoid where the end of the positive battery cable attaches to the large terminal. There may be a fusible link near the positive battery cable in the 10 gauge wire (not the heavy gauge one). Good luck.

Fuel pump, blown fuel pump fuse, fuel filter clogged, fuel pressure regulator, or defective ECU.

Struts can be a very dangerous I would recomend you take your vehicle to a worthy mechanic. If you have the right tools to where you can compress the coil springs than it is a relatively easy job.

The vaccum door near the gas pedal is broken or not receiving vaccum.

Hey Richard==It is quite involved but if you want to try it get a manual on your car. It will have pictures and everything. GoodluckJoe

Replacing the head gasket on any vehicle is a long and complicated process, however if you wish to see basic step-by-step instructions go to the related question on the right side of the page "How do you replace a head gasket?"

You can't. The springs around them need to be removed with a spring compressor and put back on the new struts with the spring compressor if the springs are still good. These springs are under very high tension and if you try to do it yourself you'll get a strut right through your skull! The rear shocks are easy, but for struts, take it to a professional, then it will be aligned properly too.

It sounds like it might actually be the ignition switch.

It is 1-3-4-2.

You do not reset the check engine light on that year of sunbird, it will go off automatically whenever you fix whatever problem the computer is reading. Most likely it is one of your sensors that is malfunctioning. Check your Air Intake Temp Sensor (AIT) and your Oxygen Sensor (O2) as they are the most likely culprits.

There is a snap ring that fits onto the handle itself. A flat screw driver, steel ruler or similar "tool" slid between the handle and door liner will allow you to release the snap ring from the shaft that holds it onto the handle. Looking at the handle with the knob to the right, the ring slides off to the left. Chilton book #28320 Page 10-13 Fig. 43 gives a good picture. Hope this helps. Langalier@hotmail.com.
