test flow in and out of heater core it may be plugged or need replacing, if it is not plugged up check temp controls, may be stuck in vent or a/c setting.

In the glove compartment.

It is actually a little T handle in the glove compartment which when pulled releases the hood and a secondary release is under the hood that also has to be released.

If the clutch adjustment is correct, so that the clutch takes halfway through its travel, then it's time for a new clutch pressure plate/clutch plate/throwout bearing combo. One other reason might be grease on the existing clutch plate due to sloppy mechanic assembly.Or a combination of the two. New clutch time!

this covers both 8v and 16valve motors, you didnt say.

the step just after removing the belt.

you stop

and

1: lock the cam . depends on valve count, 8v has hole on top you place a harned rod turn. like a center punch or the like.

for the 16v one needs a pro. cam locker.

2: mark the cam cog , point at center that has the key way, with paint.

3: remove bolt from front of cog

4: remove cog

5: remove seal with seal puller. press in new say , put tape on shaft to protect seal during installation, then remove tape once seal is in place.

6: reverse this and use my torque page to put all back,nice and neat.

Camshaft sprocket center bolt.......................... 41 to 46 ft/lbs.

== == they are however crush bearings and need a special tool to set torque to 155lbs.

89-98 covered here.

http://www.kick-fix.com/hubs/hubs.html

the tool is $80

== == 1993 and later use a sealed cartridge wheel bearing which is not repacked, only replaced as a unit...A locknut sets the bearing preload at 180 ft/lbs.. To replace, slip mark and remove hubs, remove lockplate, locknut, trust washer, and seal. Remove Hub and Wheel bearing snap ring and then bearing will probably need to be pressed out of the hub.. It is involved...(Get a good manual or a good mech)

There is no tilt steering for a sidekick, but the hood release button is in the glove box. Then the latch is under the hood after you pressed the button. I have tilt steering on my 1995 Sidekick. There is a lever on the left side of the steering column. it releases and locks the column in place where you want it. And yes, the hood release is in the glove box.

if this is the 8valve engine.

the Dashpot vacuum device must not be actived on a running car (after 10seconds)

or the VSV to it is malfunctioning. (this device DP is behind the throttle body)

or lost vacuum to it .

on 16v, the IAC thermal air valve most not be stuck open hot, it must be closed hot.

100% make sure coolant hits 180F (150f is threshold) or the IAC will fail.

and scream it will.

All 8v engines scream for ANY vacuum leaks. Speed density tech.

all 16v scream cold but go lean and stall for vacuum leaks. (unmetered air rules)

look for a vacuum leak on top of the intake towards the front. on mine it was the line connected to the two valves attahed to valve cover.mine is a 1989 so i don't know if yours is in the same place but it's either a vacuum leak or the idle speed control.a

i hade the same problem with mine turns out mine was caused by the distributer being faulty. not sure if it is the same with yours but it is worth a try. if that does not work try testing your O2 sensor or idle sensor.
