20 Most Recent 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada - Page 4 Questions & Answers

With idle issues, clean the throttle body and idle air system. How long since a tune-up? Check valve timing. Are there any applicable trouble codes? Some of the national brand auto stores will check codes for free.

First, make sure you are not low on antifreeze and that the heater is set correctly. Also, it is winter, make sure your coolant is not frozen. Heaters take longer to work in the winter when it is cold outside. If the simple things are all ok, you may have a problem that will require diagnosis and new parts to repair. I recommend a pro shop with certified mechanics that will do the job right quickly the first time.

Open glove box, pull out owners manual. Open owners manual to index at the back. Look up radio and or clock. Go to that page look at the pictures in the book and compare them to yours. Follow the instructions for the one which matches your clock.

I also have this problem on my 2000 Bravada - replaced all rotors and back calipers, brand new brake pads, new system and my rear caliper STILL chewed up a brand new brake pad in one week down to the metal. Checking for an emergency brake issue at this point - if anyone has any suggestions about how to unhook the E Brake, please share!

It is integrated into the alternator, if it is bad you will need to replace the alternator.

do you have coolant flow through heater core? Does the blower motor work? If that checks out, maybe a temp door under the dash has a problem?

Probably the heater core.

Are you just opening the bleeder and letting it run out? If so have someone pump the brakes and hold the pedal while you open and close the bleeder don't let off the brake pedal until bleeder is closed . Repeat this process until only fluid comes out . You probably have to bleed both sides . Keep an eye on the fluid so the resivor doesn't run out then you'll have start all over.

Sounds like a transmission or shift lever issue. Will it go into the R gear (or is this a stick shift?) My best guess on your issue is that a gear tooth or entire gear (some are made of plastic) may have broken in the gear box or in your automatic transmission. Unless you know how to repair a car, this sounds like a job for your local (and one that you trust -- or the nearest one if it's an emergency) repair shop to deal with for you.
