You have to replace the faulty/damaged oil filter.

the oil filter is right next to the engine on the right side (if your looking at it from the front of the car as if you were about to work on the car) its a metal cylinder with the filter inside of it. it has a "nut" on top so you can get it with a wrench or socket. if you need more help look it up on youtube theres a good guide on there thats how i first found it lol

you have to replace the battery to get the key out or use a booster pack under the hood. there is a red and black jumper post under the hood you can hook a booster pack to and then once that is hooked up you can remove the key from the ignition

Hello, this code indicates a problem with the cam timing. in most cases the timing chain is the problem. the engine control module can no longer adjust cam timing to the proper spec while running. this normally requires the timing chain to be replaced. this is covered under the 5 year 100,000 mile warranty thru GM

this is not normal for any car.i would say you may have a problem with the oil rings or the pcv system allowing oil to be drawn into the combustion chamber and burnt.also if the intake gaskets are worn in the right place it can cause this to happen.you must see smoke coming from the motor when driving the car sometimes.

Yes, the engine sensors will have to be paired to the old ECM. If only the actual engine was changed , not also the throttle and the other sensors, then nothing should be done, it will work like nothing happened. If there are some small differences in the behaviour of the engine the ECM will automatically adjust to compensate. Just make sure no error codes are left in the ECM before running the new engine for the first time.

when it kicks on and off that means the unit is low on freon. You will need to have it recharged up with freon for the AC
