Fuses

Print The fuses are of the miniaturized (compact) size and are located on a fuse block, they provide increased circuit protection and reliability. Access to the fuse block is gained through the glove box opening. Each fuse receptacle is marked as to the circuit it protects and the correct amperage of the fuse. REPLACEMENT

1. Pull the fuse from the fuse block.
2. Inspect the fuse element (through the clear plastic body) to the blade terminal for defects.

When replacing the fuse, DO NOT use one of higher amperage.

1. To install, reverse the removal procedures.

Could the missing part be the flasher unit?

they will be on the cam shaft at the bottom of the V of the blocks

You will need a cam bearing removal and installation tool for the job. It will be necessary to pull the engine as there should be a welsh plug at the rear where the cam shaft runs so that the rear bearing can be knocked out . This tools fits on the end of a long drift and is placed on the face of a bush/bearing and is knocked out . Starting from the front and moving rearward until the last one is out Fitment is the reverse . fitting the last one first and working back to the front one. The tool will be made by auto tool manufacturers like AWB tools are a specialist tool shop.. To make sure you should get a workshop manual as there may be tricks that will catch you out --like where the oil hole in the shell has to point before installing.

We do not have the vacuum diagrams for this older model.

the hole unit is a throtal body the two bells you refer to are called fuel injecters if i am following you correctlydo they have two wires to each one if so then injectors.

follow the big hose from the top of the radiator to where it goes into the engine. At the engine you will see typically 2 bolts to remove. under that is the thermostat. if it has rubber gasket, simply replace the thermostat and gasket. If it is a paper gasket, CLEAN THOROUGHLY, then rplace using some sort of gasket glue, many types available, they all will work.

A lot of play in the steering wheel is a result of bad ball joints. The ball joints are what tie the steering system to the wheels, so if the joints go bad there will be play in the wheel. I had to replace the BJ's on my truck to get rid of the play. Any shop will do the repairs and the cost istn too bad. A little shop like mine will always beat the big guys prices. Good luck!

under the dash

you must be talking about the tbi, first check the fuel pump, turn the key on you shaould be able to hear it run for 2 seconds, if not check electrical for voltage going to pump, if working install fuel guage in feed line, you should get about 45bls pressure, if good check for spark to plugs then for voltage to injectors and and signal from ecu

Finding the timing marks is simple, it is an impression (a small arrow) on both the crank and the cam. As for the exact time set, I would refer to the owner's manual but if you are doing it off the cuff pull the number one piston top dead center, line up the rotor button with the number one piston and set crank at top dead center and cam at bottom dead center. This will be a good starting point, but the owner's manual will give you more exact instructions.

Contact any car stereo dealer, they will have the schematic for your vehicle!

you have to remove the panel on the door. you can buy a special tool or you can use a screw driver to pry the panel off. It is best to go in a counter clockwise motion around the panel until it pops off. Be careful not to let it hit the ground or it could rip your wires out.

well you need to hook it to a computer and determine if o2 sensors are working correctly and make sure enough fuel pressure

Go to the autozone website at autozone.com and register your vehicle. It's free and you will have access to an online repair manual. The steps and procedures for changing the water pump on your vehicle should be there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

If you are referring to the brake power booster, after you remove the master cylinder there are 4 nuts holding the booster accessed front under the dash behind the top of the brake pedal/

The easiest way is to power this system (everything on fuse 29)with a relay that supplies power only with the key in the on position.
