q45 question

[car95freak]

hey guys ok i have alot of things wrong so if any of you have an answer to this id really appreciate it. ok the first thing is that my ac doesnt blow out any air at all im thinking its the blower motor but wat you think? And if it is the blower motor how di i replace it without taking the whole dash board out? Also the abs wont go out and i just put new brake pads and discs on it and it has brake fluid? Also the medal lines by the oil pan are leaking oil there do i need to replace them or is it leaking from higher up and is dripping on the lines making it look like its leaking from them? also what is the best kind of coolant to put in my 1995 q45? thanx joe

The blower is located just behind the glove box... http://www.q45.org has an article on the glovebox removal......

Basically you remove the 2 bolts on both sides... take off the kick panel, and youll have 4 bolts on both sides and 2 small screws in the middle...... Then it all slides right out... The blower motor is right there and shoudl be fairly easy to replace.....

Ive also heard of the blower relay going out, might check that and do a search.....

Your saying the ABS light is on??? I would assume the ABS actuator is bad or maybe a bad fuse.. Do you have TCS???

[Q451990]

Not sure on the later models, but the earlier Q's had a relay under a black plastic cover on the ABS Actuator. This relay will sometimes stick in the "on" position and cause the pump to continue to run. Is your pump running or is it just the light that stays on?

its just the light wont go out on the dashboard. hey wat are the reasons the light goes on so i can check those thinks?

[Q45tech]

Light is on when ABS is not working, so follow FSM instructions to decode the problem by reading LED flash code on ABS computer in trunk near rear speaker...........count the flashes.........and look up system problem and solution.

After you secure a FSM for your 95.

If you odnt have an FSM let me know..... [email protected]

ok but how do you take the glove box out and also the i cleaned undr the car to see where the leaks are coming from and it stopped lkeaking but the secound i start the car its gonna start leaking. are my head gaskets going or something?

[elwesso]

Those metal lines I think your referring to are the transmission cooler lines... What does the fluid look like that you got out of it...?

[car95freak]

its oil but i went ands cleaned around it and its not leaking yet soo? is my head gasket bad or something?

[elwesso]

Unnless your car has overheated its probably not the headgaket.....

Possibly the valve covers... Do you have any smoke smell when the hood is open, mainly when tis hot out...

[car95freak]

i have smoke smell whenever i turn off the car. sometimes when i turn off the car smokes comes from the engine everywhere even when the hood is closed got any ideas. also i went under and car and dried the oil from under the car with a rag to see where it was lkeaking and it hasnt leaked like at all like only 2 drops. so got any ideas

[maxnix]

Check your valve covers.

[car95freak]

would the oil leak might stop if its the vavle gaskets if i put a thicker oil in it. right now im running 10w40 should i put a thicker oil in it and see if it stops leaking and if soo wat kind should i put in it?

[maxnix]

It would be best to replace your valve gaskets if that is where it is leaking.

ok ill try that thanx alot guys

I had a Mazda 929 that leaked from every seal, gasket, and potential hole or crack imaginable. Of course, the resale value of that car at the time was about $500 (I sold it for almost double that, bwahahahah).

At one point I was going through two quarts a day (about 25-35 miles/day driving).Running a thicker oil with some "engine honey" -significantly- slowed the leaks but the impact on performance was horrible. I'm sure it adversely affected engine lubrication and accelerated wear. Please do not do this.

This is a Q -- a marvel of engineering. Fix it right
