Where is the AC condenser drain for a 1998 Pontiac TranSport?
The AC system is a closed system, and has no provision to drain the condensor. The system is under pressure and does actually have liquified freon in some portions of the system, while it is cooling the vehicle, it contains freon in differing states (liquid or gas).
I might be taking that fact a little too literally, I do do that sometimes. Unless it has a drain that I have never thought about.
I'll make some statements about AC systems, and these statements actually need some refinement, but it should give some information on the operation.
AC principle of operation is that if you pressurize a gas you can cause it to become a liquid, then if you depressurize that liquid (freon) it boils ( or changes back to its gasious state).
Then since it is a gas in a closed system, it seeks heat while in the evaporator to go along with that change of state, and if it is in a pressurized liquid state, it wants to be cooler, so it gives up its heat in the condensor.
The freon is as a liquid for the condensor in front of the radiator ( ie. suction side of the compressor ), so it can give up its heat that it collected while depressurized in the evaporator which is located in the heater housing/passenger compartment.
Believe it or not, propane is actually a better refrigerant then freon is, but for the obvious reasons of safety, it is not used.
In some commercial building there were vacume systems that actually use water as a refrigerant. With vacume systems there are problems with air being sucked into the system, so that is problematic as well.
All refrigeration and AC systems rely on that principal of operation. Then your engine cooling system works with just the opposite principle. You raise the boling point because you raise its pressure. Ideally your engine needs to run near the boiling point of water, and you don't want it to boil over, so you prevent boil over by raising the boiling temperature( by pressurizing the cooling system ).
The radiator has a drain plug next to it that, you ned a special tool to turn.
The condensor is between the bumper and the radiator.
Where is the thermostat on 98 Pontiac transport vans?
Usually located in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
If the abs light on a 1996 Ford E150 van keep coming on then going off how do change the sensor?
sensors rarely go out i'd try first check brake fluid top it off this can cause brake light to come on if full check your brake pads and rotors you got to take your tires off any rust will set off the brake light inside your truck if they are fine then you should get your ball joints and tie rod ends checked out by a pro
The ABS light may or may not be lighting due to a faulty sensor. If it is, and it is common to happen, you need to find out which one. Take it to an independent repair shop and they will need to troubleshoot it.
I have the same problem on my Econoline 96, I've taken it to a dealer and several independent shops with no solution. My econoline does this mostly in the summer, and not during the cool days or winter.
Why is the low coolant light on in the 1997 Pontiac Transport?
1) You actually have a low coolant level. Top off your radiator, bleed out the air in the system, and check the LOW COOLANT light again. 2) The coolant level sensor, located on the coolant recovery tank, has gone bad or became disconnected. Check to see if it is connected. If it is disconnected, plug it in and check for the LOW COOLANT light. If it IS connected, disconnect it and verify that the LOW COOLANT light is still on. While you're in there, check the underside of the oil and radiator caps for sludging or a milky substance which may indicate the intake manifold gasket failure common to these vans equipped with the 3.4L engine.
The blower motor gets its power through a relay, and it is not unheard of for contacts of relays to stick together after they are de-energized. As well the (BCM) Body Control Module receives its blower operation signals via the heater control switches, and it energizes that relay. There are so many might be's. There are so many relays and modules in these newer vehicles that it takes an active mind to keep them separated as to which does what. Since the blower continues to run, and the blower relay contacts have an unswitched electrical connection straight from the fuse box, you might have a sticking relay. The heater relay is in the engine compartment fuse box, near the battery and washer fluid container. Something funny that I have done a few times, is that I thought the heater fan was running, but it was actually the engine cooling fans that were running. They are meant to run as long as the engine heat calls for it, Ignition on or not.
Check engine soon light on 1995 Plymouth transport?
Have vehicle scanned at auto part store to determine problem or clear code
What would cause overheating 1998 Pontiac transport?
hi . i also own a 1998 Pontiac trans sport i was having the same overheating problem. try replaceing the thermostat first .or like me replace the lower intake gASKET MINE WAS BAD!! IF YOU HAVE NO heat in the van and the temp gauge in the van keeps jumping up and down that's what it is
How do you replace a serpentine belt on a 1998 Pontiac transport?
If it is like my 97 transport, 6 cylinder, the way to change the belt is as follows: Locate the tension wheel near the center of the pulleys. Using a 3/8 inch rachet (without a socket), place the end into the square hole of the tension wheel. Using the rachet, push the wheel towards the firewall to loosen the tension on the belt. Remove the belt and release the tension. Follow the diagram to replace the belt reversing the process. Make sure the grooves in the wheels line up with the belt grooves.

Where is the coolant sensor on a 1997 Pontiac transport?
there is a collant sensor at the right side of the engine near the return pipe to the radiator. I' not sure if it is the only one but I know it controls the radiator fan.
Why does my Head lights on my 94 Pontiac transport only work during day wont come on during night?
there is no reason what ever for lights not to work at night unless they are controlled by a light sensor. if they are controlled by a light sensor then u need a light sensor. if you have to switch the lights on manually the switch is defrective ,but if this was the case they would not work during the day either

How do you assemble rear brakes on a 1993 Pontiac Transport SE?
The absolute best thing for you to do is to obtain a Hayne's 1990-1994 Pontiac transport repair book. If you can't find one at your local parts store then try the library. It contains step by step text and pics showing what you need to do.If you are NOT mechanically inclined, I would pay a shop to do it. Don't take unnecessary chances with your safety just to save a few bucks. As a matter of practice, do ONE wheel at a time. that way, you have an assembled wheel to look at when it comes time to reassemble the parts.
What is the torque specs on a top intake manifold cover for a 99 Pontiac grand am?
