i was changing the battery on the monte the other day and i saw these and didnt know what they were. i dont have a manual or any access to one so i hope someone on here can help the first pic is of some kind tube or something that attatches at the throttle body and goes down to something on the transmission. the bottom part of the foam is dry rotted and wont stay on. and the second is a plug that has nothing around it to plug it into. what are they?

The plug is from your washer bottle pump. By the picture I assume your washer bottle is no longer located there. That would explain why there isnt anything for the plug to plug into. I believe the first picture is of the vacuum modulator. You were having transmission problems werent you? If the vacuum line wont stay on the modulator, it might explain your trans problems. Just a thought.

 

..Thanks Mod `Matt as always for your help to member's.
I will cease my search for pictures of the engine & it's attachments...

I think a Repair Manual would be a great investment for `Kane...I hope he gets it running good...

 

thanks matt. i feel kinda dumb now because i forgot all about having a washer bottle in my car. i took it out when i first got it because it had a crack in it. i guess time just washes away memory lol. and about the trans problems, i took it to a friend of my dads bc he works on transmissons and he said its the 3-2 downshift soleniod or something. all i know is that we replaced a fuse the other day and unplugged the cruise control and it ran perfect til a few hours later. it wasnt blowing fuses but it was completely melting them but it should be up and running by tuesday

 

and when i get a little more money saved up im gonna buy a hanes manual lol. that would really save me some time on figuring out my car

 

Until then you might check out your local library. Sounds kind of odd but our little home town library has several manuals, think someone probably donated a collection... it is worth a try.

 

yeah the library down here has some manuals but the only ones close to my car a are a 3.1 lumina and a 3.8 monte i live out in the middle of no where and the nearest "city" got blown away by a tornado last year

 

You could look online at manuals ..

 

yeah but all the ones ive tried to look at including the one kidspace recomended have to be downloaded and i have dial up. so downloading would take longer than i have. it takes 15 min to load a 30 second video on youtube >_<
