When Iam driving along all the sudden the speedometer will just go to 0 it still goes, but occasionally it won't shift out of first and it shifts hard when it does....
VSS (vehicle speed sensor) Tells the PCM (computer) the speed of the vehicle so the PCM can make the proper information to the TCM (transmission control module) to shift.
YOU are goin gto need a scan tool NOt a code reader to monitor the VSS to see what it is putting out for speed when the car is moving But I believe you need a VSS but do not not Go out and buy one until you have had it tested , and can positively confrim it is bad first. Please rate this a fixya if you find this advice helpful, Thanks Randy

Hello! My dome light will not shut off even with all of the doors closed.
Any suggestions?

Check the dash light dimmer switch. Perhaps it's set to have the interior lights on, when you turn the dash lights all the way bright, turning it a little more turns the interior lights on. Let us know how you make out.

if you have an owners manual there should be one in there but if not it should be under the cover to the fuse box also there is one under the hood of the car as well

the wheel bearing are noisy. how hard of a job to replace them
Not too bad. Just remove the Wheel and the Brake Calipers. Then remove the Dust Cap off the Center of the Rotor. Inside there is a Bolt with a Cotter Pin In it. Remove the Cotter Pin and the Bolt. The Rotor will now Slide off the Spindle, The Bearings are Loose and Probably inside the Rotor. Remove these Bearings and get a Tube of High Temp Grease. Put a Big gobb of grease in the Palm of your hand and Roll the Bearing around in your Hand. Be sure to use your Fingers on the Inside of the Bearings to get it in. The same Goes with New Bearings.

I have a 1999 Sable with brake line fluid leak in middle of chassis by driver door(underneath) There is an unusual part joining front & back brake lines that is leaking on both ends. It looks like rubber grommets are the joint to the brake lines. It is hard to see because I am in Michigan and we have snow, salt, water, dirt, mud and it's hard to find time to crawl under rusty vehicle to look thoroughly at the leaking joint in 20F and 20MPH winds. Brake light is on and pedal goes to floor. I keep filling fluid but leak is out of hand. Does anyone know what kind of part joins lines together in mid-chassis? Why isn't line continuous to back? Why the break & add another part? I thought I would ask before I 1) buy a service manual & figure it out myself. 2) Take it to dealer & pay $$$. I am poor & trying to make ends meet. Thank you for any help !! If I have an answer, I can call friends that will work for beer. Thanks - Superbuuck
Cut that out. Replace it with a compression fitting. Bleed the system.

Here ya go!
3.0L DOHC VIN S Engine
CAUTION
NEVER open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities.Always drain coolant into a sealable container. If necessary, clean coolant maybe reused unless it is contaminated or more than two years old.
To install:
