Re: Heater acting funny

Thanks for the replies.<P>In the on-line shop manual when it says "check for continuity between terminals of the fan switch" or "check for continuity between the terminals for the resistor" what does that mean exactly?<p>[ January 07, 2002: Message edited by: OverDrive ]

Re: Heater acting funny

Heater acting funny

Hi folks.<P>I no longer get hot air at the highest setting (4 for more air). If I set it at 3 it works <I>most</I> of the time. Also, at the 4 setting I hear a little noise (tinney rattle) coming from the passenger side vent.<P>Thanks for your time.

Hi folks. The car is a 94 GS Auto with 80,000 kls. Recent work includes new alternator/belt, spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, Engine flush, replaced tranny oil.<P>Is this normal? If I have the car running and pull off the oil cap the engine just dies.<P>Also, I'm noticing a couple noises lately....

Re: No Power, Alternator

Thanks for the thought...but the recall does not apply where I live.<P>I will say that anyone doing this job should know that it is easier done from the top. You have to take out the fans and the plastic covers and bring the alternator out on the opposite(drivers) side. It is the only spot which all...

Re: No Power, Alternator

Just to update.<P>We tested the alternator with a different battery. When we start the car and release one battery cable the engine quits; if we keep the revs up high the engine will not quit but will run quite rough. We checked the voltage with the battery disconnected and there is about 11 volts c...

Re: Fuel filter

Well folks, my friend who's a mechanic, tried in vain to locate the fuel filter. We took the intake boot off, checked every spot within sight and no fuel filter to be found.<P>He got underneath the car to try and trace the fuel line to the fuel pump as well hoping to give a better indication of wher...
