SOURCE: where to check/put in transmission fluid in 2005 Pontiac Sunfire

I assume this is an automatic transmission, you didn't say.
There is no dip stick on the transmission any longer.
You will have to go under the car to check. You may want to go to your local instant oil change and have them check the level.
If you feel you want to check it, here is a description of the location and process.

Make certain the vehicle remains level while checking the fluid.
Located just above the top sealing flange of the transmission oil pan you will find a threaded plug. Remove the plug and see if transmission fluid drips out of the hole. If so, the fluid level is correct. If not, remove the red fill cap on top of the transmission, driver side. Add fluid to the transmission until fluid dribbles out of hole.
Replace and tighten the plug.
Good luck.
Regards,

SOURCE: need location and part number of oil filter on

It's a Fram cartridge CCH 9018. The container is on the front of the engine close to the air intake. It is a Black plastic container and unbolts with a 1 1/4 socket.
The filter will come out with the cap. Unscrew and attach the new filter to the cap and screw back in.
It's quick and easy.

My temp gauge is not working and since that,when the car is hot,it stops everywhere and it is hard to start,like it s flooded ( to much gas )is it the temp gauge the problem!

Hello francis.

If the temperature sensor is defective it will send a cold signal to the computer.
This cold signal will make the engine run rich (too much fuel).
Cold engines need more fuel to run so that is why it is rich when hot.
But...the computer has a separate sensor from the gauge sender.
Which engine is in your Pontiac? 2.2 or 2.4 ?
Let me know here and I will send you some location diagrams.

Coolant wiring

Ensure you are checking the right sensor.
The coolant level sensor is usually located in the coolant resevoir. It generally performs a hi/lo monitor switch function.
The coolant temperature sensor is usually located on the motor (cylinder head or thereabouts). It is a variable resistor dependant on coolant temperature.
As a quick check to identify the sensor, with engine running, short the sensor to ground. If it's the temp gauge sensor the gauge will go max high. Open circuit connection = temp low.
