2005 Chevrolet Equinox Questions & Answers
My Chevy Equinox 2005 is over heating.
The unlikely one is the head gasket. Do you have water in your oil, do you have mayonnaise on the oil filler cap?
If the area under the thermostat is dry, the most likely issue is water pump failure. Empty the system, backflush the radiator and heater hoses with a garden hose. Replace the water pump and thermostat. Fill the system with coolant, turn the engine on, heater to maximum temperature and keep topping up the radiator until the coolant is hot and the thermostat opens. Squeezing the top and bottom radiator hoses also helps to get air out. Turn off the engine and top up the radiator one last time. Put the cap on and then top up the expansion reservoir.
One thing often overlooked with overheating issues, make sure the radiator fan is working properly.
3.4l. Where is fuel pressure regulator?
It depends. If you have returnless fuel system, meaning only one fuel line between the gas tank and engine compartment, the fuel pressure regulator should be part of fuel pump assembly. If there is a fuel return line from fuel rail to gas tank, the pressure regulator should be on the end of fuel rail. I did look up fuel pressure regulator for your vehicle in online parts book, the pressure regulator wasn't listed which usually means, it's usually part of fuel pump assembly. Just my opinion. good luck
2005 Chevy Equinox, no start, no spark from the ignition coil.
You have dis ignition, correct? You have a coil pack, no distributor? Note the diagram. Take connector loose from icm, use both ends of test light between pink wire, voltage, and solid black wire, ground. Check with key on, If test light comes on, you have voltage and ground to icm and problem is elsewhere. Just a thought? good luck

Put a soft cloth over the knob, gently put a pliers over the cloth on the knob and gently pull straight out, but do so carefully, the knobs are more than likely made of plastic.
