2000 Toyota Echo. Replaced the alternator, turn ignition on, and car ran fine, turn key to off and problems. Car starts, headlights work though.

Hi Anonymous, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? step 1 remove battery neg lug or BOOM wrap the lug in a shop towel securely not pull the alt if not you blow up a 120+ or more fuse and now the ALT is dead, even 10 new alts are now dead. see? never skip step 1 in the service manual or BOOM fact #2 its not a tiny ATC fuse that blew out. I found it at Mitchell-1 fuse 3 exploded (done wrong) so the harness dies not catch fire. car fires are never fun/. echo-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

Where can i easily buy a fuel pump for a 2003 Daewoo Damas van

no country told shopping is best done by country. or even better a town. easy to me means over the counter, not mailed 12,000 miles. to see it is the wrong part. first off , to fix any car , post the vin with xxxxx at the end so we can tell you what engine is there and the matching fuel system. or we lie to you not told. the dealer sells it but demands the VIN, for sure. most autostores can have it or get it fast , ask them ,even in person. or by phone for real stock check not web site lies. that means online sales can tell you they have it and and NIS not in stock.

Cylinder head bolt torque settings for 1999 daewoo lanos 1400 is

USA car or not. some cars made else where are not the same. yes made in 10 plants world wide, my be not the same. first off most cars now use TTY torque to yield on head bolts and that means not to ReUSE them ever. the service manual shows 2 things the order and the TTY methods and rules for all bolts there. 1.4L engine sounds to me the engine froze iced up , lacking antifreeze or overheated max. my online FSM , shows 1.6L and 2.0L only in USA> so is that it? which one/? to post a question about any engine tell what engine is there first. or post the VIN with xxxx at the end the engine code is there. but not told, sorry , I'd hate to guess or post for 3 engines is a waste of time. if I google search 1400 I get no hits, why is that, IDK> how odd is it a typo,(major) there is 1.4L sold in some countries, Canada, or UK or other english speaking countries. GM/Daewoo E-TEC (Family 1) I give up ,my book has no 1.4L at all so can not read the engine page to you and would if I could. in USA to fix cars it is super wise to join and pay for Mitchell-1, DIY manuals. and read. and not make blunders in this area. here they are in all their glory, in ASE school we get free access. it is that good https://eautorepair.net/Checkout/ActivationPlan/1999/Daewoo/Lanos

My traction control lights on in my 2007 Ford Freestyle 3.0 and I want to know if there's a vacuum that hooks up to that where it's at

This could be two different issues. For the dash light get the vehicle plugged into an OBD scanner or a diagnostic system to check for Trouble Codes. These will give clues as to what and where the issue could be. Comment below with them and I'l try to help explain them. Unless the problem is with the brake booster most traction control systems do not use a vacuum to operate it. It is usually a set of electronic sensors on the wheels that the ECU uses to monitor tyre grip. As I cannot look at the car myself for that hose you will need to get a good mechanic to look at it. The vacuum hose could go to many things like the EGR system, the Turbo (if fitted) or possibly to the transmission.

Hi my renault sandero1 1.6 2010 model.. immobilizer stopped working and is no longer starting

Possible causes: Damaged antenna, lack of synchonization with the key, electronic failure with the immobilizer or the computer it accesses. This well may call for a Renault specialist to diagnose but here is what you can try: To address this issue, consider the following steps:
  1. Disable Immobilizer and Start Engine Without It:
    • Obtain the pin code (usually available from the immobilizer itself or through dealers).
    • Try starting the engine without the immobilizer. If successful, this indicates an immobilizer-related issue.
  2. Inspect Soldering on the Immobilizer:
    • Visually check the quality of soldering connections on the immobilizer.
  3. Remove Aftermarket Devices:
    • Turn off any additional devices (e.g., aftermarket radio) that were not part of the manufacturer's original setup.
  4. Check Wiring Integrity:
    • Inspect the wiring for any visible damage.
  5. Verify Lighting and Reversing Lights:
    • Ensure proper functioning of lighting systems.
  6. Consider Temperature Effects:
    • If possible, leave the car indoors to avoid extreme cold, which can affect immobilizer performance.
  7. Check Neutral Position:
    • Confirm that the transmission is in the "neutral" position before starting the engine.

I just installed a new key switch & batteries, I need to reverse the left hand lever to work the opposite. I need the right lever to move in reverse, What two wires do I need to switch?

You give absolutely no clue what on!! All questions in Cars and Trucks category need full 'year make model'. If it isn't a Car it needs 'make model (what it is)'.. All the above should be the first 3 words in all questions. Then you have over 40,000 categories to choose from. We can't guess from what you have written. ..

How hard is it to change the serpentine belt in 2006 rendezvous

If the belt has fallen off there must be a problem. The don't just fall off of the car without assistance. With the belt off, check all of your pulleys to make sure they are turning properly. Then, get the manual for your vehicle and it will show you how to do this job :() Every car is different but all cars are the same generally and this is usually just a matter of putting the correct wrench into the tensioner to remove/apply tension and route the belt around everything in the proper direction. There is usually a sticker in the engine compartment/hood area that shows the diagram of how the belt is routed.

1991 GMC Sonoma 2.5 engine replaced fuel pump, filter. and distributer cap. The truck will randomly die going down the road. After it sits for10 minutes it will restart and run completely normal

Good place to get a vacuum gauge hooked up and identify problems using that tool. Without the gauge, check your exhaust and see how much if passing through the converter. You can do this by testing the temperature of the exhaust before and after the converter making sure the converter/exhaust isn't restricted. As the vehicle warms up a bad converter can cause the symptoms you are describing.
