What gap did you use for the 3100???
good tip thanks it help 🙂
also removing the ignition coils allows easier access too the plugs and
wires… two bolts hold the coil bracket too the intake manifold 10mm if i
remember correctly, and two nuts hold the mounting bracket too the head on
the back two 13mm nuts, i think its a little safer in my opinion than
tilting the engine forward.
Skylarks don’t have the dog bones. Its a b to replace the rear ones.
@Autotechviewpoint oky thanks I got it done and it worked out great 😀
….now to find that transmission leak…. hahaha
@nine09duce yeah there’s actually a bracket just behind the dogbone on the
driver’s side where you can put the bolt back into to keep the engine
tilted forward
If I tilt the engine forward, will I have to do any readjusting on the
motor or anything to get it back to the proper way?
also i forgot, it has three harnesses that plug into the coil pack in
addition too all the secondary wiring, unplug those carfully lift the coil
pack through a series of wires and harnesses, and there you go… easier
access, a second way…
I have done plugs and wires to my 1997 3.1L lumina and to me its easier if
I just remove alternator, it gives me plenty of access, takes me around
10-12 minutes total removing belt and alternator, plus another 40 for plugs
and wires.
thanks for the useful video
ASSuming is will start.
actually the video is very helpful . IDIOT
I can only guess that it has cap and rotor hidden back there
Your second tip is a terrible idea. Just remove the coilpack! Way way more
simple and you’re not stressing the alternator with a 2×4.
So when you say no power, you mean electrical power, no dash lights,
headlights, nothing happens when you turn the key on? You had the hood
open, is the belt that runs the alternator still there?
Thank you, very helpful…
Pulling the coil pack also helps you get access to the rear plugs and to
the upstreamoxygen sensor back there.
is it the same way for 1994 cutlass supreme
Yes it is
do you know how to do this on a 97 grand am? I don’t have those particular
motor mounts
I should mention that I don’t really know much about cars. I was told by a
friend that the oil may be causing this problem, and was hoping that you
could confirm or deny. Again, thanks for your time.
I just bought a 2000 Buick Century. I had to drive it home, about an hour,
most of which was highway/freeway. Right when I hit the slower residential
area a couple of minutes from my house the car died. I lost my power
steering and my gas, but the lights and the radio stayed on. Since then
I’ve had the same problem a couple of times when idling. I found there was
way too much oil in the car, about 3 times past ‘full’ on the dipstick. Do
you think that could that have fouled the plugs? Thanks.
@matts417 No you don’t. Just push/pull it into place to line up the bolts
again, and that is it.
Well, to reset the ECU memory what you could do is dis-connect both battery
cables and then touch them together, that will discharge capacitors and
such in the computer. then hook up the battery again. a “boom” sounds like
you blew out something in the exhaust, blew out a spark plug out of its
hole maybe? Take a good look around the engine and exhaust and listen for
any unusual noises.
Hey thanks for taking the time to comment on my tip video
