get yourself a shop manual for your car, nearly every car is different in the procedure for timing belt replacement.

shifting problems

M

My 1998 Ford Contour 4 cyl Auto suddenly started to buck a little and my cruse control stoped working and my speedometer also stoped working. I was on the By pass in cruse control when this happened. I stoped and checked fluid levels and smelled the tran fluid does not smell burnt. I started it back up and my check engine light came on and the car shifts in to the gears ok but does it with a little force. Any suggestions.Read More

1999 Suburban....A/C Compressor question

G

goosesisking on Jul 20, 2008

Hello all, new to the forum. I recently purchased a 1999 Chevy Suburban 1500, auto tranny, 350 engine. I was told the AC wasnt working, and that the ladies mechanic quoted 800 dollars to fix the compressor. The vehicle has dual AC, front and rear. The blower on the front turns on and off when it feels like it, but the blower on the rear AC works fine. I bought a remanufactured compressor and installed it myself. The system was empty of freon, so I bought 4 15 oz. cans of r134A and put them into the low line. As I finished each can, I held my hand in front of the rear A/C vents (the vehicle was running the whole time I was putting the refridgerant in) and it got a little cooler each time. By the time all 4 cans were in, the air was cool, but not cold, and nowhere near cold. I beleive the freon capacity for this vehicle to be 64 oz, so the 60 oz I put in should suffice. Does it take awhile to run through the system? Should I add more freon? I just finished a second ago. I only let it run for 5 minutes after i was finished, and it didnt seem to get getting any colder. Also, I am no mechanic, so I could have made some sort of mistake during all this. Advice? Thanks in advance. GooseRead More
