what dose a 1999 Alero transmission look like.
Look underneath the engine near the transmission. It should be there where it belongs unless someone moved it.

If you have a carburetor, there is a crew on the driver side behind the throttle cable it usually has a spring on it if you turn it to the right it idles up left it idles down If its a fuel injected motor idle is handled by the computer. There usually is a "base idle speed" around 800-1000 RPM. This normally doesn't need to be adjusted. Have a look for carbon build up on the butterfly as well, this will influence idle too.
My Honda, in good running condition, idles at 700 RPM This is what it idled when it was new. For the 1989 Honda your idle speed should be between 750-1000 RPM and if you have any questions look under your hood and it will tell you right there.
look on the bottom of the engine on the left hand side. you should see it there.
Should be in the main fuse block. Look for a fuse labeled "courtesy".
It should say in your owners manual, I believe it is 13.6 quarts for the 3.4 L but you should look in the back of your owners manual to be positive.
