Grand Prix SE

To change the spark plugs on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, start by locating the spark plugs along the engine block. Use a spark plug socket and ratchet to loosen and remove the old spark plugs. Before installing the new spark plugs, ensure they are gapped correctly according to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, carefully thread in and tighten the new spark plugs, being cautious not to overtighten them to avoid damaging the threads.

Spark plugs are threaded into the cylinder head on the engine. They are sometimes hard to locate because of the use of composite materials used to hide their appearance. Automotive manufacturers like the idea of a sleek flat looking engine bay, so they hide it all behind plastic.

Look for 4, 6, or 8 (depending on the number of cylinders in your vehicle) wide heavy gauge wires grouped together. Follow these to your spark plugs.

One note to add, not all cars have ignition wires. Such as the GM quad 4 motor for one. On the top of the motor there is a coil housing cover that needs to be removed to access them.

there is a blend door not operating properly the dash will have to be removed to repair most likely Read this article: http://www.imcool.com/articles/aircondition/fix_vacuum_line.htm I'm having the same problem. Jim

you are probably refering to a rocker arm. In a pushrod motor the rocker are opens the valves. A rod rides on the camshaft and as the lobes on it come around the rod pushes up on the rocker are which does exactly that, rocks the same as the rocker on a rocking chair . The rod pushes up on the rocker which then pushes down on the valve, opening it.

First thing to do is when ur in the driver seat, u should see two screws that's around the speedometer gauge of the dash! Remove the screws, then u need to remove the glove compartment! Then u'll need a flashlight for this! use the flashlight to look for a 9/32 screw that's screwed into the dash, remove that screw, then CAREFULLY, pull up from the drivers side on the dash all the way to the passenger side to remove it! Then u have access to the speakers! Good Luck!

Does it not blink or keep blinking? Check your bulbs first (all of them).

my left front turn signal does not come on. the bulb needs to be changed but how do i access the bulb? the area where the bulb is is very tight.

What make/model vehicle? 97 JEEP CHEROKEE

It's on the side of the Radiator, behind the grill on the passenger side.

there are 2 clips both about 6 inches from each side ad about 4 inches down the eazyest way i found is to oper both back doors and slide the seat up to the roof until the clips undo do not pull as the clips will snap it does help to have 2 people 1 on each side. Samantha

It is on the passenger side of the firewall, near the bottom of the car. It is just a small rubber hose. Use a pencil eraser to clean it out, don't use a sharp object or you could damage a/c components.

This is probably caused by leaving your Hazard Lights on, but may also be an electrical short. Have it checked by an automotive electrical technician if you have tried to turn off the Hazard Lights switch and they still stay on

on passenger side near rear of motor. Here's a writeup. http://hubpages.com/hub/Starter-Removal-1999-Pontiac-Grand-Prix

Make sure the front seat is not reclined. If it is, the rear seatback may not fold down all the way.

To lower the rear seatback, follow these steps:

Disconnect the rear center lap-shoulder belt latch, if equipped, by using a pointed object to press the release button.

Pull forward on the seatback tab located on the outboard side of the rear seat cushion to fold the seatback down. This gives direct access to the trunk.

Caution: If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always press rearward on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

you could buy a service and repair manual at any autoparts store. the best book out there i believe that is called hayne's service and repair manual it gives you the best step by step instructions on how to repair any vehicle.

Hey Lisa==If it started when the plugs were installed they could be the wrong brand or gap, or the wires and rotor and cap could need replaced. GoodluckJoe A common mistake for this happening after the plugs were installed and the car ran fine beforehand is that the plug wires were put back on the wrong cylinders. If you check all that and it all checks out good, you might have bad gas.

In my 86-96 aerostar repair manual it says to use new bolts , tighten the bolts over a 3 step sequence to the torque required. Here is the sequence

5 1 3 7

6 4 2 8

Step 1 44lbs step 2 tighten intake mainifold to 36 -72 in lbs step 3 59lbs step 4 tighten intake manifold to 72 to 132lbs in-lbs step 5 turn cylinder head bolts an additional 80 to 85 degrees

step 5 complet intake mailfold torque steps 3 and 4

To fix a burned wire that is plugged in at the fuse box under the Battery sign, the wire will have to be removed and a new one soldered in place. Before doing this, find the cause or overload that caused this wire to burn in the first place. It could be that a fuse of too high an Amp was placed in the fuse box by mistake.

drop the tranny and you should be able to do it from under the truck

There are 2 yas to put a cold air intake on it is to cut out a hole big enough behind the driver side head lights to fit it in there. The next way " more expensive " is to buy a hood or put vents in the stock hood and run that way. The easiest bolt on air performance upgrade is a air ram kit which is simply an open type filter like a cold air intake but not able to get fresh air.

unfortunatly your gonna have to drop the gas tank of your vehicle to get to the filler neck .just should be a couple of fastners clamps .shoudn t have to remove the screws from the car body .easy driveway thing could only take you bout a half hr maybe an hr if your tank is really full

on the lsc its most likely the same with a bill blass mark 7 1988 which i own in perfect shape . but im 18 and its 2009 so the car reallly needed a stereo. that worked ! and so i replaced the regular tape deck with something new but old. a kennwood digitall aduio everything you need i pod hook up / charger / CD storage. store up to 80 hours of music into your car ! lol. anyway to wire up some bad ass sound your going to need to get a ''wiring harness'' they sell them at any autozone or other ''car sound'' shops. just tell them the year. and if it helps do what i did and bring the old radio out of youre car and show the guys because sometimes they get 1988 lincolns confused with god damn towncars !!!

that happened to me but to get there after you buy a wiring harness go out and buy a classy new deck for youre lsc it will really bring your car into the newr age yet still looks classy. plus what ever youre interior color is they have tons of new car stereos that light up certain colors and all kinds of stufff. re doing a vehicle is always good enjoyment

but once you get the wiring harness..

plug it in to the main wiring

there should be a white/whiteblack,purple/purple black,grn/grnblk, , gray/gray blk - those are all audio. your speakers

and red yellow and black are youre power power control/ on off ! and ground.

hope i helped you...

You're also going to have to drop the crossmember if you're changing the gasket

As with all cars, the oil collects it the lowest part of the engine. That's why your oil drain plug is where it is. You can see the oil pan by jacking up the front of the car and putting it on proper jack stands. NEVER support a car on just the jack; I speak from painful experience. If you wiggle under the engine and find the lowest part where the drain plug is you will be able to see the oil pan bolts going up into the engine block. In fact, the oil pan itself with trace the size of the block, so you will probably see a dozen bolts or more around the edge of the oil pan. If you want to remove it, make sure you drain the oil first, and never drain the oil when it's hot or you will be severely burned. If you remove the oil pan, you will need a new gasket when you replace it.
