its important to have the right amount of backprettiar in your exhaust, so if going from 2 mufflers and 2 pipes to a single one would need to enlarge the size of the pipe to compansate. or it wont breath right and end up gutless.

Try replacing the coolant cap it may be warped from over heating and that what keeps the pressure down and prevent overheating

-Bad connector. Good luck Mai

Try holding buttons in one at a time til time starts blinking then you can adjust the time

Most radio`s you use the channel scan button till you reacah the station you want, then push and hold the number button you want that station to be on. hold it for about 5 seconds. this locks in that station then move to next station and repeat etc etc. Hope this helps, God Bless :O)

This is limp-in mode, a feature of electronically shifted transmissions. For a large variety of potential problems, the computer that runs the shifting has seen an issue that puts the trans in limp-in mode, it wont let it shift. You may have a check engine light on, start by pulling codes and expect to need access to a scan tool that reads not just engine codes but also power-train codes. It gets quite advanced very quick. However it does not always have to be complex or expensive. If the electrical connector came off the trans, the trans would always be in 2nd, or if you have a fuse blown, it may happen as well, so check your fuses. Aside from that, you will likely be going to a mechanic even if just to evaluate the code(s), and to see what complaint the powertrain module has. It does not necessarily indicate a major problem. Oh and don't forget to verify proper transmission fluid level. Good Luck!

Have a repair shop diagnose the codes & resolve Appears you have two or three problems in different systems

The security light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

This may be the radiator cap releasing the excessive pressure in the radiator into the over flow reservoir. In reality when you switch off the engine there is a rise in the coolant temperature due to the fact that the engine components are still hot and the water is no longer circulating. Two things that you might try --- 1 have a coolant system pressure test done to ensure that the noise is not from a leak some where else and 2--- have the radiator cap tested as they can loose spring tension and blow off at a lower pressure setting than required.
