Under the hood if a 2005 Chevy Aveo?
We got a 05 Chevy Aveo Lt Sedan, does anybody have a pic of underneath the hood, with arrows or something pointing to what is what? Like parts underneath, also if anyone could send me to a link or instruct how to change the air filter, Many ThanksUnder the hood if a 2005 Chevy Aveo?I do, actually two different sites although you will have to subscribe to them. One is Alldata and the other is Ondemand5. I am sure if you look in the owners manual it will show you how to do simple tasks like putting air in your tires, putting gas in your car, and changing the air filter.dog hair store properties
How to change 1992 chevy 3.1 engine ingition coil?
new wires new plugs.new air filter.oil change. still has a miss .computer check shows no problem. failed deq HC 2672 should be 220.How to change 1992 chevy 3.1 engine ingition coil?I've had many cars with that same engine and at least a couple of them started missing and i replaced the ignition control module with the 3 coil packs on top of it. it fixed them both. i think its a common problem with those that the coil packs go out. one of the cars ran a couple of years then the junkyard coil i put in needed to be replaced again. it is very easy to change. i had cavaliers and they were located on the front of the engine just below the exhaust by the starter. its just a few bolts and a few connectors.How to change 1992 chevy 3.1 engine ingition coil?I had a similar problem with my exgirlfriends car, it was a 1991 3.1 same same, it turned out after I replaced coils module crank sensor, computer, 1000.00 later we ran a resistance test on the injector wiring, I had a crack in the upper electomagnet in one injector, it would run fine, then once warmed up it would miss, eventuaLLY IT GIT SO BAD, THAT IT WOULD SHOT OUT AND DRAIN all the juice from the rest of the injectors, and quit running till it cooled, I replaced all 6 injectors with used injectors @3.95 ea, walla she runs greatHow to change 1992 chevy 3.1 engine ingition coil?Try fuel filter, the coil is on the distrubuter it self. If it is not, depending on the ignition system, just follow the middle wire on the distributer cap and that should take you to it. Also try the ignition module, its a black plastic chip sitting on the distributer.
Should i change K&N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?
I already bought the K%26amp;N air filter for VW vr6 but i was debating whether i should buy the cold air intake instead and how much differe nce would the cold air make as oppose to changing the stock airfilter into a K%26amp;N.
ThanksShould i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?i own a repair shop,and you can actually just change the filter and it will help it a lot ,and its cheaper than doing the whole intake system,,on some cars if you change the whole system you,ll get trouble codes from the mass air flow sensor,,so id just change the filter part of it,,that will help it,,you,ll notice better acceleration on it ,right off,and it should improve mileage a lot also,,but id try that first,good luck with it,hope this help,s.happy new years.Should i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?yor welcome.

Should i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?It doesn't make much difference. Stick with the filter only and save your money.Should i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?The K%26amp;N filter in the stock intake makes a nice difference in power and driveability. The cold air system is loud and will become increasingly annoying as time goes by.Should i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?I agree with Dodge Man. Unless you are boosting the engine (supercharging or turbocharging) the cold air intake is pretty much a waste.Should i change K%26amp;N airfilter only or get the whole cold air intake kit? is worth it ?check this site out. HTTP://WWW.VWVORTEX.COM .. I am also a member and will answer all your VW questions and performance needs. You will actually notice more of a difference with cold air intake on your non forced induction engine then a turbo or supercharged engine. The reason for this is that with a turbo or supercharger the air is compressed and in turn heats the incoming air, making it pointless getting a cold air intake cause you are heating the air. If you are into car performance you will be happy with the sound and gains from the cold air intake(CAI).
How do you remember...?
...to change your air filters in your homes?
I always seem to forget until a month or so later. Do you have a memory jogger for this?How do you remember...?Each season maybe? ?:)xHow do you remember...?When you change the time on the clock, that is when you do the air filters and the batteries for the smoke alarm.How do you remember...?If they should be changed every month, try to always do it the first, or last day of that month.
If every three months, change when you get your bank savings interest, or when it's time to change your car oil.How do you remember...?We change ours once a month since we have two dogs, and a cat. Mark it on your calender, or put a note in with your monthly bills, you have to look at them at least once a month.How do you remember...?Do it on the first day of the month. Also check smoke alarm batteries and any other minor maintenance items. I always do them the same day of the month. Just make a note on the calendar as a reminder.How do you remember...?I set mine up as a monthly recurring task in Microsoft Outlook. That way, I get the reminder every month to make the change.How do you remember...?been there done thatHow do you remember...?yes, I do.
I let someone else handle it. Works like a charm.

Motorcycle Without An Air Filter?
I recently purchased a 1997 Kawasaki Concours off of EBay. Shortly thereafter, I ordered a K%26amp;N permanent air filter in the mail. When I went to install it, I realized that the motorcycle did not have an existing air filter.
The guy I bought it from rarely used the bike, and he did take it in to the mechanic prior to selling it. The mechanic cleaned and synced all four carbs, changed oil, etc.
Both the seller and mechanic blame each other for the absence of the filter.
My question is this:
I have run the bike for about 1500 miles over the course of three weeks before realizing that there was no air filter. The bike seemed to begin to stutter a little in low RPMs, and I had to adjust the idle RPM because it would die periodically at stop lights.
What is the possible damage to the engine? How can I identify it? What is the best course of action for dealing with this now aside from the obvious use of the K%26amp;N starting now and changing the oil?
Thanks.Motorcycle Without An Air Filter?What is the possible damage to the engine?
Worn pistons, piston rings, and cylinders.
How can I identify it?
Do a compression test.
You're probably OK, but do a wet and dry compression test. If it's within specs, look into the intake, carb, and ignition as being possible sources of the inconsistent idle.Motorcycle Without An Air Filter?YOU PROBABLY DIDNT HURT A THING,BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME JETTING ISSUES WITH THE K AND N FILTER,THEY FLOW A LIITLE MORE AIR THAN THE STOCK AND MAY MAKE YOUR BIKE RUN ON THE LEAN SIDE AT LOW RPMMotorcycle Without An Air Filter?Change the oil and filter. Install the new air filter. If you have dusted the engine, it will start using oil. Just keep an eye on the oil level for a while and if it doesn't use a bunch, then you got lucky.Motorcycle Without An Air Filter?The air cleaner does just that, cleans the air before it enters your cylinders. Road dust allowed to enter the cylinder acts as an abrasive to increase ring and cylinder ware. That's over time, got an air cleaner on there now, what's done is done.
The idling problem could be as simple as the mechanic set up the carburetor without the air cleaner on and now with the restriction of an air cleaner you're running a little rich.Motorcycle Without An Air Filter?I know my Harley with a velocity stack will suck leaves and small dogs into the carb, no tellin what you hoovered into the engine.

I have an undergravel filter and I want to change to a normal one...how should I go about it?
The reason is, I want to use sand substrate for my catfish but can't with the undergravel.
Am I right in thinking the best way to do this would be get the filter, leave both running for 4 weeks then remove the undergravel when I do a water change, changing the substrate at the same time and leaving just the normal filter?
Obviously, I'd put most of the water in a bucket with my fish in, then put the filter in there with the fish (running? or not running?) while I quickly change the substrate.
Is this safe? Will transferring the filter from air to water result in an bacteria loss?
The fish will only be in their bucket for a maximum of half an hour by the way - I'm not going to harm my fish!I have an undergravel filter and I want to change to a normal one...how should I go about it?You are right in %26quot;cycling%26quot; your new filter in your current tank. However, once you set up your %26quot;temporary%26quot; home in the bucket, simply put an airstone in with it to keep your oxygen levels up. This is your chance to reset your entire aquarium and as you are setting up a new substarte, you may find the water will be quite cloudy until the new filter has had a chance to %26quot;clean%26quot; the water and the sediment has had a chance to settle (this usually takes about an hour). Try to use a mix of 75% current aquarium water and 25% fresh water (so you don't lose too much bacteria). As for bacteria loss, the beneficial bacteria that changes nitrate into nitrite needs oxygen. That is how the new bio filters work, they expose the surfaces of the filter (where the bacteria live) to open air rather than the old style filters that keep the sponge material immersed in water.I have an undergravel filter and I want to change to a normal one...how should I go about it?I would vacume it with a python water changer or vortex, then take it out.I have an undergravel filter and I want to change to a normal one...how should I go about it?I did the change once for my discus tank. Pretty much just like you have posted and what Ed wrote. I did keep a large portion of the original water in cleaned out milk jugs. for the switch so the change would not be too drastic. I then set up an added cannister filter to help with the filtration and hopefully get a jumpstart from the orighinal bacteria in the water. The tank did great and a good water change always helps. It also made for an easier cleaning of waste on the bottom. One idea is that some people put rubber cement or glue on the bottom and just allow the sand to attach to it making for a barebottom tank with the look of sand. That may not be what your wanting for your catfish though.can you afford to retire rodents

How will I know if I need a tune up?
Or a spark plug change?
I have a 2004 Jeep liberty, and it has about 90K miles on it. (It used to be a rental car but I've had it for two years, and it's not given me any trouble. And the carfax report was really good).
But since I've had it, I haven't had a tune up, or anything, only oil changes and air filter changes, and I don't know what I need.
Recently it's been jerking when I accelerate up a hill. Only SOMETIMES though, and it's only a slight jerk then it smooths out, but it's a concern.
Tune up? Other ideas?
Thanks very much and have a great weekend.How will I know if I need a tune up?I would get a new fuel filter first and plugs.
Also the plug leads and coil pack or distributor checked if that fails to improve things.
If it's an automatic get the gearbox fluid level checked.How will I know if I need a tune up?Find someone who is competent, and have them clean out your PCV valve and hose, your throttle body, and idle air control valve with Gum-out spray. Also, power wash your entire engine compartment, especially the space between the radiator and A/C condenser. Debris always collects here and restricts proper air flow. Check BOTH ends of your battery cables for good connections. After doing all this, drive-ability should have improved. If not, change the plugs, but try using Nippondenso Iridium or Bosch platinum plugs. They are simply designed and produced better and will provide better engine characteristics. The high voltage used in modern car engines for emission control and MPG requirements usually make the spark plugs last longer and retain their gap best. Sometimes, a car that shudders going up hill only requires an adjustment of the transmission cable. Good Luck!!!How will I know if I need a tune up?Usually a tune-up is suggested for 100K-150K miles. So you may be getting close. I would take it to a shot to get it looked at, it is probably not your spark plugs, though. It could be your transmission. If you bring it in, they should tell you what is wrong with it and give you a quote.How will I know if I need a tune up?You may be developing an engine missfire which could be an ignition, or lean/ rich misfire caused by a vacuum leak or emissions related problem. The first thing I would do is have a new set of spark plugs installed and ask the technician to check the plug wires for any corrosion buildup in the contacts that he can clean both at the spark plug and coil tower connections. You also need a new fuel filter if it has never been changed.
Never go into a repair shop asking that a %26quot;tune-up%26quot; be done on your car because it's like writing a blank check for the shop to do a lot of work that you may not need. Stick to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and pick and choose individual repairs that are diagnosed as being the problem by a shop. So you would go into the shop and ask them to diagnose your engine misfire once it was bad enough.

if u insist on .. i think havin' another car -cheaper- is better ALSO if u're not expert don't open a door to hell :D
also i knew dat JEEP has an overheating problem -maybe here in KSA only coz we have the hottest Summer EVER :D -

sorry......How will I know if I need a tune up?might be a lose plug wireHow will I know if I need a tune up?A tune up is a possibility. You may only need an ignition wire or a spark plug. Then again, it could be something as serious as a fuel pump losing pressure or a slipping transmission. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, try plugs, wires, PCV and an air and fuel filter. Some fuel injection cleaner may help too. If not, take it to someone who knows Jeeps and they can pinpoint the problem that could potentially save you money and headache. At 90K, I would do some type of tune up maintenance. You could also take it to an AUTOZONE outfit and see if you are getting misfire codes from a free scan of codes.
