1998 Chevrolet Lumina. How do I adjust headlights?
open the hood and you will see an item that looks like a level. Have the car as level as you can, and there are adjustment screws near the levelers that will adjust the headlights. I would recommend having the vehicle pointing in a direction that will help you determine where to adjust them too.

What is the part called that the brake lines hook
Hi,Under the hood is the Master Cylinder. It contains brake fluid, which when you depress the brake pedal, acts as hydraulic fluid to flow through high pressure tubing called brake lines, from the Master Cylinder to the Wheel Cylinder (drum brakes) or Brake Piston Caliper (disc brakes). As you depress the pedal further hydraulic pressure expands the wheel cylinder which presses outward, 2 brake shoes inside a metal "drum" (drum brakes) or clamp the brake piston calipers together squeezing a disc-like rotor (disc brakes) thus stopping the vehicle.
98 chevy lumina wont start replaced starter and VATS relay only get click no crank what next?
Hey Todd how's it going ? How's the battery ? battery connections ? Are there any lights lit on the dash , security , check engine ? Because your getting a clicking there is nothing wrong with the theft deterrent relay ! Take a volt meter on the 20 volt scale an put negative lead at the negative battery post , then take your positive lead an put it on s terminal small wire on the starter solenoid an have someone turn the key to start position , you should see battery voltage . If you see battery voltage there is nothing wrong with the theft deterrent relay ! or the crank circuit. You need to do a voltage drop test on the starting system ! I'm thinking possible battery cable !
Starter Voltage Drop . you do know that you replaced a starter for no good reason !

Never trust a friend your car, unless is a mechanic, now you have to replace the ignition and the door key, or better idea call a Locksmith they make a copy for you(be honest and tell the true they make a copy it work on both ignition and the door).
What's the best oil to use for 98 Chevy lumina
most use 10w30 motor oil. as far as the best brand of oil it varies according to personal experience. these are some of the better ones in particular order, Castrol, Quaker State, Valvoline, Penzoil, Sunoco, and there are others. what ever you do, do not use recycled or reconditioned motor oil.
My push button for trunk of 98 chevy lumina does not work anymore !
After many years of use the elecronic unlock mechanism for the trunk will sometimes break and needs to be replaced. It's a common problem.
Until it is replaced you will have to use the manual trunk release which is normally located in the boot compartment and accessible behind the fold down rear seat.
98 lumina won't go into gear until its warmed up
I would do a fluid and filter change, first. Check the pan for any metal. If no metal flakes. Put it back together and fill it. This might fix it. If you still have the problem. Then you'll need to replace the EPC valve(electronic pressure control). It's on the valve body, inside the transmission. On the drivers side. You have to lower the engine cradle enough to get the side case off the transmission. You should also replace the boost valve, I don't recommend it because you have to remove the valve body to do this. There are check balls in there that will fall out.
