Chevrolet Spectrum Parts

Chevrolet Spectrum problems group into engine timing, emissions control, and fuel metering. The Spectrum can also lose timing/stall unexpectedly in the engine system. A defective timing belt halts the cam and leaves the Spectrum with no re-start. Replace the timing belt, check the tensioner, and check cam and crank timing. In case of damage, test compress and straighten bent valves and restart Spectrum. In emissions, the Spectrum has the ability of generating a rotten egg odor when taking drives. A worn catalytic converter overheats, adds up backpressure and power. Check backpressure and oxygen sensor data, and then replace the catalytic converter when necessary. In fuel and idle control, the Spectrum can stall at intersections. A bad mixture control solenoid will alter the fuel metering in the carburetor. Ground and attach power, measure resistance, and reassemble the carburetor in case of circuit failure. Diagnose Chevrolet using diagnostic procedures, check vacuum tightness, and use spark timing. Perform readings, a road test, and negotiate drive cycles using Chevrolet procedures. Observe inspection schedules, use Chevrolet tire values, and tighten all fasteners. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) certification and verification of Chevrolet vehicles should be applied to cross-check the specifications and make maintenance schedules every now and then.
