1989 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 

I need a new FUEL SENDING UNIT but when I talked to a local auto supplier they asked if the sending unit was on the passenger or driver side. Is there anyway I can tell which sending unit I need to purchase without dropping the fuel tank?

Apparently, the sending unit for the “drivers side” is twice the price of the passenger side but when I searched EBAY to purchase a sending unit it never indicated whether it was for the drivers or passenger  side.

I am having problems with both of my Volvos, a 1989 760 turbo wagon which I just bought, and a 1990 740 turbo wagon that I have owned for several years. The 760 was well maintained and has 202,000 miles. It ran perfectly for the month I have owned it. Then, last night, I drove it to the post office, and turned it off. Five minutes later, I went to leave, and it wouldn’t start. It cranks over, strong battery, good fuel pressure, power to the coil, but no spark. My boyfriend works on cars, but can’t figure out where to look next.
In a stroke of great timing and coincidence, the 740, which has frequently been used for my newspaper delivery business, has begun to sputter and stall after driving fine the first 20-60 minutes. It gets progressively worse until it can barely go a few yards, and finally, fails to start until it has rested for a few hours, when the cycle repeats itself.
I am desperate to get at least one of these cars back on the road ASAP so I don’t lose my job.

I have a 1997 Ford Taurus and I just bought an alternator and a battery. The car started right up and ran for one day. The following day it started up but shut down completely and would not start back up.

Vehicle stalls on deceleration. Computer codes are 14 and 66.
Auto mechanics tested computer and said it was transmission solenoid. Transmission mechanics said nothing wrong with solenoid. Original mechanics tested again and found nothing. Told me to take vehicle to ford dealership and pay them to test. Prior to stalling problem, had oil leak in oil sending unit. Replaced oil sender then when test drove it began to stall when coming to stop or slowing to turn. Friend recommended changing crank sensor, this made no difference.

where is the transmission control module on a 98′ jetta located?

i have a 1995 chevy 1500 p.k. and my fuel pump will not go off unless i disconnect the battery. i replaced the relay also unplug the computer and ingtionion switch to make sure they where not the problem. even with this all un hook if i connect the battery the fuel pump is up and running. i also figure out that if i take the relay out of the fuse panel and use a jump wire i can make it turn on or off. as soon as i start the vehicle it goes back to running all the time until i unhook the battery or jump across the fuse box

After the AC technician finished AC repairs and recharge, the engine 3.3L  stopped running and a gas odor came from somewhere under the vehicle. Inspection of all gas lines showed no leaks. Fuel pump came on, but no fuel pressure present at the injectors. The scan tool showed a circuit problem with the No. 1 cylinder. Fuel filter is okay as well. Still no fuel present at the injector fuel rail.

I tried to start my 08 dodge caliber this morning and it made a clicking noise, I thought it would be the battery so i tried to jump it and that didn’t work either so whats wrong with it, any help starter maybe?

I have 2005 E350 Check engine light came on a smoke test was done diag. testdetected small leak in evap system. found out solenoid needs replaced. Can someone tell me where it is located on vehicle and how difficult to do myself?
