Trim piece removal info
Mr.tozzi replied to Sparktacus2017's topic in Interior Trim, Seats, Seat Belts, Covers, etc.
I wish I knew, I want to paint mine black but I didn't have the time to get under and look yet. They may be sandwiched between the bottom part of the dash and the top part. -
Will the starter engage if the car is running?
Mr.tozzi replied to Boosting801's topic in General powertrain discussion
No. And please post only in one section, if you havent got an answer we have not seen your post yet. We all have lives and we all sleep sometimes. -
Tried starting while car was running
Mr.tozzi replied to Boosting801's topic in Chevy Spark 2016+ (Gen IV)
Nothing happened, if the car is already running the starter won't move. -
What is going on with the CVT in my 2017 Spark LS?
Mr.tozzi replied to Bobby MSME's topic in Lounge: Chevy Spark Discussion
Doesn't he have a newer spark? If he does they call for 35psi on the sticker. Ours say 40 and still eats the outer threads but that may be related to my bad driving habits. -

Mr.tozzi replied to Bobby MSME's topic in Lounge: Chevy Spark Discussion
I don't think it is age.. it is just getting used to driving the car, and knowing what to do to get the right response from the car. My car "behaves" a lot better now than it did when I bought it. -
MyLink Frozen on Start-up Screen (Pictures)
Mr.tozzi replied to Kensters's topic in Audio, Navigation, MyLink and Navigations
I second the aftermarket route. May cost a little more but you get what you want/need for the money you want to pay for it. -
Where do the front impact sensors go?
Mr.tozzi replied to PickyBiker's topic in Chevy Spark 2007-2015 (Gen III)
Here ya go... they mount on the undersode of the screws with the yellow paint on. the connectors for both sensors face the passenger side of the vehicle. -

Mr.tozzi replied to PickyBiker's topic in Chevy Spark 2007-2015 (Gen III)
I'll go look in a few. -
That would be central locking Eric, and can be done easily with a cheap door lock kit https://www.crutchfield.com/p_220PRPDL45/Audiovox-PRO-PDL-45-door-lock-actuators.html since one door is powered and has a locking pin with a rod it would activate the other doors. The only pita is running the wires to the doors and finding spots to mount the actuators.

If you want to go all in details. Gm oem brand for almost everything is a.c. Delco, part number for your spark spark plug is 12637197.

MyLink Frozen on Start-up Screen (Pictures)
Mr.tozzi replied to Kensters's topic in Audio, Navigation, MyLink and Navigations
pull the negative lead from the battery for a good 15-30min plug it back in.... If it doesn't reset itself then pay the dealer to fix it or buy a better head unit. -
Help? Mysterious electrical issue?
Mr.tozzi replied to Nma228's topic in Chevy Spark 2007-2015 (Gen III)
Take to a mechanic tell the mechanic the same story as you just typed. If he's any good and you are not expecting free diagnostics he will find the issue. It is most likely cooling system related, from hitting the deer. Just because the outside isn't visibly damaged doesn't mean things are still all perfect in the engine bay. -
CVT slipping and Dealer won't look at it
Mr.tozzi replied to JulieT's topic in Lounge: Chevy Spark Discussion
The problem is that the cvt is electronically controlled in the spark and gm just cannot or doesnt want to figure out the programming on it. -
No Rear Speakers on 2016 LS
Mr.tozzi replied to KrazyLoCo's topic in Audio, Navigation, MyLink and Navigations
4 ch compact amp driving the speakers and a mono driving the subwoofer or a powered subwoofer to save room. -
Transmission fluid makes sense as it is cooled trough the radiator. But you said engine oil at first. have a trusted mechanic or friend replace it... Should save you money over the dealership price.
-
Service advisors are not necessarily mechanics, they can be, but most of them are just a guy behind a desk creating and managing repair tickets. I find really hard to believe their diagnostics. Ask them what is wrong with the radiator, if they diagnosed it they know why it failed. And I will leave it at that.

If mine goes I'm transplanting from another vehicle
-
There is no way in the world for you to get oil in the coolant from a bad radiator as there is no oil running trough it. It may have been the cause for an overheated engine which can cause gaskets to fail and let oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil, but the radiator alone is probably not the issue.
-
Well a 2013 automatic would have a 4 speed auto not a cvt. 2014 and up gets the cvt. If your g5 is running good I would keep it until you can get a better car than a spark, as in with more creature comforts and a little more power. Maybe a cruze, or a trax.
-
Yup. I can't get the phone to charge if I run a music app playing trough bluetooth.
-
I like the work you did, it looks good. If the extra 8inches were not an issue it would be good if that tray folded up and down with the seats, it would save them from torture.

There is no flasher in the spark, it is part of the bcm. If the other lights blink then you have an issue on your harness for that side.
