How to Fix a SOHC Dodge Stealth

SOHC stands for Single Overhead Camshaft. In each cylinder head, there is only one camshaft operating both the exhaust and intake valves. This is key information when anticipating whether you can repair your Dodge Stealth. If you choose to do so, there are a few things you should do.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Repair manual
• Replacement parts
• Tools

1. Identify the problem with your Dodge Stealth. The fact that it is a SOHC makes a big difference in how you go about fixing the problem. Pay attention to be sure that all of the parts are compatible with the SOHC.

2. Use auto repair manuals and websites to find an explanation for how to fix your SOHC Dodge Stealth. Sites like Auto Parts Fair are a great resource when looking for the parts. Be sure you actually get parts for an SOHC and not a DOHC.

3. Check all of the information thoroughly to be sure you have the right type of part. If you need to buy a fuel pump to install, check to see if the auto parts store has the pump that fits your particular SOHC Dodge Stealth.

4. Read the manual instructions to familiarize yourself. Lay the necessary mechanic's tools and the new fuel pump (or whatever you are repairing) where you can get to it easily.

5. Start with the beginning instruction and work through to the end. You need to have a good background in mechanics. Follow one step right after other and install the part. This is a good format for anything you need to fix on your SOHC Dodge Stealth.

Tips & Warnings

• If you decide to buy off-brand parts to do this repair, check with a trusted resource to be sure you can fix the Dodge Stealth with this part, as opposed to one you would have to buy from Dodge.
