How To Install Replace Front Control Arm Pontiac Sunfire Chevy Cavalier...

If this car has ABS it will need to be bled by a dealer.

You sure you have the timing right? sounds like you have the timing chain off a tooth or bad tensioner. or your spark order is off.

Could be ECM/PCM but you need to go further and diagnose it. trace fuel pump wires and find out if there is a fusible link or break/bad connection. If you have another ECM you can try it. is there power at the relay? at the fuse? Ignition module?

yes. Thermostats are usually found under where the radiator top hose goes onto the top of the engine block. good luck

Ask at parts store to see locater chart.

Bad connections at battery, bad solenoid.

I think the crank sensor is next to the oil filter, and the cam sensor is above the crank sensor.

tighten them from inside trunk

most likely the idle control valve is sticking and possibly throttle position sensor

mostly like clogged or failing injectors, try chevron techron fuel injector cleaner run it for couple days n see it improves if not ull need a noid tester on the injectors

Most consumer available scanners read OBDII on 96 or newer vehicles. If your car does in fact have a OBDII plug then all you need is the software in your scanner to be able to read OBDI codes...a 95 is running OBDI. Advance Auto or Autozone might have a OBDI compliant scanner for free...just tell them you have the OBDII port so they don't take up all your time digging for the adapter!

There is a magnet on the key switch assymbly that must be aligned with a sensor. If it isn't aligned correctly the computer will shut off the car as part of the anti-theft system. This could be the issue. There is a video on YouTube that shows how to remove tumbler assy. You will be able to see the sensor then. Or the sensor may be defective.

Either NO FLUID or LOW fluid

No fluid, low fluid

Try forcing it open with a screwdriver while turning the key to the unlock/open position at the same time.

The fix is relatively easy, the hard part is accessing the lock mechanism. You have to be able to open the trunk. Once inside, there is a mount that holds the barrel to the body, and if that has loosened, or fallen, then that will give you your problem.

If you haven't done any work on the brakes, the problem could be a faulty master brake cylinder or a leak between the master cylinder and the front brakes. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder.

Check compression, may be a burn valve
