So i have a 98 mitsubishi eclipse 98 gst. When i drive it, it doesnt go pass 3000 rpm when i push the pedal?

So basically the car starts fine and I can rev up the car just fine. However when I drive the car the car will not pass 3000 RPM and when I try to it feels as if i let go off the gas pedal and if i try to gradually increase the RPMS the car starts to shake/ starts bogging/ (that feeling when your car is about to stall when you leave it on gear and let it go to 0mph). So basically it is restricting me to stay under 3 KRPMS and can only go up to like 60 mphs because of this. When I try to floor it, it also doesnt feel right.



I was thinking some kind of simple adjustment can fix this.

Does anybody know anything about the adjustment you do for the amount of fuel that goes into the engine, that maybe the problem but I dont know how to adjust it or where it located.



The car was actually running fine. when I got my thermostat changed and the guy suggested I should loosen this screw to make not to much gas go into the engine then this problem happened.... I tightened that thing he loosened up and yet I'm still having this problem. If this sounds familiar to anyone please help me.So i have a 98 mitsubishi eclipse 98 gst.

Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?

its a ford ka 2 1998 s reg and it has started blowing out cold air, i had the thermostat changed but that was not the problem as the old one wasn't even broke. my dad then went to check the heater control panel which when he tried to undo the factory clips the pipes to the heater control panel fell apart, we have ordered a new heater control panel which wont be delivered till tomorrow, could this be the reason why it was blowing cold air out? as the car is quite old and the plastic pipes had perished.also can anyone give me any tips how to drain and refill the coolant system when my dad is fitting the new heater control panel? thanksWhy is my ford ka blowing out cold air?
hi its proberly the heater valve they had problems with them on the ka and fiestas its located on the bulk head should have two coolant pipes going in to it and two coming out they can be tricky to replace but i would say it is that as they were always going. Also to drain and refill system you can drain at the rad by undoing the drain plug on the bottom of the rad let it drain then lock it up. refill system run it up at idle with the cap off for about 3-4 mins check level and fill just over max mark. put cap on and turn the heater to the middle position then with the car running hold the rvs at about 3000rpm for about five mins. let throttle off and turn heater to hot check you have hot air coming out vents if not repeat process. after your done let engine fully cool and check the level in the tank top if required.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?
It is usually the heater control valve that goes faulty on the Ka and the Fiesta.

They are not expensive and they are obtainable from most good motor factors (Partco) etc. No need to go to the main dealer.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?
Unless you drain the system completely make sure you put ford anti-freeze in. Some don't mix well and turn to jelly.Why is my ford ka blowing out cold air?

To drain.. on the underside of the radiater there wil be a stopcock of some kind, possible a plastic bung looking thing ith a cross on it, like a massive phillips screw, or it could be a knob.



Undo the water resevoir lid and jack the vehicle up. Using a collecting vessel underneath to collect the cooland loosen the stopcock,



If the water resevoir lid is off the water should drain. Wait till its all gone then tighten the stopcock back up.



(note to get to the underside of the radiator you may need to unscre the plastic cover under the vehicle using an allen key or a torx key.



Lower the vehicle and with the resevoir lid off and the heaters control on %26quot;hot%26quot; and the fan on, start the engine (have plenty of coolant mixed to hand!!)



Start filling the reseviour with the engine running. Do this slowly. Fill to max let it go down, fill to max, let it go down.. it shouldnt take long, a minute or two. At some point the water will stop going down below the max line (dont overfill!)



Replace the water resevoir lid and allow engine to warm up. Check for leaks top make sure everything was tightened up properly.



If all is working once the engine has warmed up the heaters should blow hot.. if so all is done.



Dispose of used coolant correctly, i.e. not down a drain but in a sealed container to the local tip who can dispose of it properly.



check it the next day to make sure its not gone down and top up if neccesary, check for leaks on ground if the level has dropped a lot. Tighten and retop up if required.

How do u change flush a heater core?

In a 1999 ford Taurus, 3.0 L engine, not the doh engine, just the regular 3.0 engine, the coolent does have a brownish tint to it. I've had radiator flushes every single year, but i still have no heat. i heard that flushing the heater core is different, so I'd like to know, step by step in how to do this correctly. My thermostat was changed yesterday, I've touched the pipes in the firewall(was told these are the heater core hoses) and one was warm(luke) and the other was warmer(more than luke), but i still have no heat, my heat blows like luke warm to cold, and it takes a long time to get up there. Help please!How do u change flush a heater core?
When you flush the system it runs through the heater core if it isn't heating up correctly try putting a thermostat in that runs a little hotter. I had to do this with a vehicle I owned as it wouldn't blow out hot air it was luke warmHow do u change flush a heater core?
You can buy a kit from Canadian tire or Auto Zone for about $7.00 and all you do is hook a garden hose on it start the car then turn on the water. Also you should add a winter thermastat. This will allow the antifreeze to warm up more before it gets cooled off in the rad. If this still doesn't work then put a piece of cardboard in front of your rad.How do u change flush a heater core?
flush and drain cooling system.

there is a chemical called C.L.R. you can buy it in most any hardware store. buy 2 lengths of heater hose long enough to reach the heater core and come out the hood enough to get a funnel in one of them, run the other into a bucket under the car. pour the CLR into the funnel and let it run through the heater core. follow with distilled water. reconnect heater lines from motor. refill cooling system with proper mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.

this doesnt always work (about 50% of the time) but its easier and cheaper than a heater core replacement. especially in a taurus.How do u change flush a heater core?
IF YOU HAD THE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS THEN THE HEATER CORE WOULD HAVE BEEN FLUSHED OUT AT THE SAME TIME.



IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT YOURSELF JUST REMOVE BOTH HEATER LINES FROM THE HEATER CORE AND FLUSH IT OUT WITH YOUR GARDEN HOSE.How do u change flush a heater core?
you have a valve that control the flow for the heater core,some are controlled by a vacuum or cable when you select heater or the temperature, check the vacuum system for leaks,.because when the controls are working fine the water in the heater core should flow freely heating up the core.I hope this help.

Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?

my temp reads 74. my set temp is at 82. how can i get the vents to consistently blow out hot air. the heating guy came over. but everytime he comes, it blowing out hot air. the hot air doesnt last long. its like hot air for 30 min. cool air for about an hr, hot air- 30 min. and so forth. the heating guy changed the thermostat. right as we speak. its blowing out hot air. Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?
The furnace may be too small for your house and/or your home insulation may be too weak if the room temperature reads 74 when you want 82.

Cold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?
It sounds like you are tripping out on the high temp limit on the furnace.



Nothing wrong with the wall thermostat if the fan keeps blowing. Changing that was dumb. If the fan keeps going blowing cold it means the wall thermostat is still calling for heat. If it was the wall thermostat the unit would just shut off.



I have had customers shut off half the vents in the house thinking they will save heat and then call me to fix an overheating furnace.



Or they put filters in the return, in the furnace, and in each vent too and wonder why it is not acting right.



Plugged filters and a dirty blower wheel will do that as well. How long since the blower was cleaned? Ever? Could be a bad high temp limit switch too, or both if it takes an hour to reset.



First check I would do is measure the heat rise at the vent closest to the furnace while it is running %26quot;hot%26quot;. It should be about 30-60 degrees above room temps. Modern furnaces operate closer to the lower than the upper. The heat rise will be marked on the model number plate.



Some times people don't realize they have closed so many vents. They vacumn over them and close them by accident. They shut off a couple to put a couch over it. Then others so as not to blow on a plant or blow curtains around then shut off one unused room or so. Before they know it most of them are closed and the furnace overheats.



Go around and check each one to make sure it is open, don't assume.



Good LuckCold air coming out of vents yet set temp reads 74?
Hello,



Just a thought but you might have an air leak from a damper or from the pipes somewhere . Take a smoke pencil and start checking around all the pipes in the crawl space or basement at the furnace , and anywhere else you can to find an air draw.



Good luck

1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?

change the thermostat1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?
It isn't normally hard at all, IF the housing is in the open where you can get at the bolts easily...but they can be a real pain when the housing is stuck between or behind something else (many new cars almost %26quot;hide%26quot; them)



If you try it, make sure you drain about 1 gallon out of the radiator first. remove two/three bolts from housing and pull off the housing. Remove thermostat, clean gasket/o ring surfaces good, put new thermostat in with new gasket/o ring. Be very careful it is %26quot;seated%26quot; in it's groove while you snug the bolts down, and DON'T over tighten...it's a %26quot;feel%26quot;.



Re-fill the radiator. Once it gets hot, let it cool a few, remove cap carefully, and top off again.1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?
Remove 2 bolts. Remove thermostat. Scrape off old gasket. Add new gasket. Add new thermostat. Tighten 2 bolts. Check and add antifreeze as needed. Drink a beer.1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?
It's easy!1995 Toyota corolla repair how hard is it to?
No biggie - just follow the large hose from the top of the radiator to the engine. The flange this hose is connected to has the t/stat under it. Remove two bolts, lift the flange housing, replace the t/stat, put it all together. Make sure the engine is cold before opening the system, and drain coolant. Don't forget to re-fill it when finished.

Problem with 88 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5L?

I've got a Cadillac Fleetwood commercial chassis with the FWD 4.5L. Last time I drove it all was fine, but the other owner had it for a couple of months and replaced the radiator hose due to a small leak where the hose had rubbed through.



Now that I've got it back, the temp light comes on after very short trips of 10 miles or less. It was low on coolant when I got it and put 1.5 gallons in it to fill it up initially. I checked the next day, it was again low, and that time I put over 2 gallons in it, started the car, checked it again - and again no coolant to be seen in the radiator. When running at idle, it blows tons of white smoke out the tailpipe.



I've checked the oil, it's not overfull nor does it appear to be mixed with coolant. My initial thought was the head gasket since I'd been told one one Cadillac engine there was a special procedure for a thermostat change otherwise the gasket could blow. But, as I said it's losing over 2 gallons in less than a minute of running at idle. Also, when the temp light came on I tried to turn the heat all the way up to dissipate some of the heat, but I got nothing out of the vents (probably because there was no coolant to circulate).



Does anyone have any ideas here? I'm wanting to sell the car, and have a buyer waiting - but obviously I can't sell it if the engine is having a major issue. As I said, I haven't had the car in a couple of months so I have no idea how it was treated in that time frame, or what if anything was done to it. Also, the fan temp light occasionally kicks on as well.Problem with 88 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5L?
Before replacing the head gaskets be sure to check the intake manifold gaskets. That engine is notorious for bad intake gaskets that give all the symptoms of head gasket failure. Also if it does happen to be the head gaskets that are bad be careful when removing the head bolts because they have a tendency to pull the aluminum block threads out when removing them. You should have a shop perform a cooling system pressure test and a cylinder leak down / compression test to determine what it is that's causing the problem because the more you drive it while overheating the more damage and money your costing yourself. Good luck and hope this helps.Problem with 88 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5L?
22 years old and blowing 2 gallons per min out the tail pipe? You have a blown head gasket , big time. or you have a large 7 cyl water pump. 2 gallons is almost a full system. Pull the plugs. That should indicate which bank needs a gasket, Just better off to do both sides.Problem with 88 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5L?
yeah i think its your head gasket if the smoke on the tail pipe smells like anifreze its your headgasket
