Hi! Have you checked the brake light switch? usually located at the top of the footbrake pedal, it is a plunger type and should have two wires going to it? if faulty try bridging the connection/wires for a test! have someone watching your lights to save jumping in and out of vehicle.
Merry Christmas!

P.S. Remember the Blue FixYa button!

you may have the common GM intake manifold leak

The rear doesn't have struts just ordinary shock absorbers that you just unbolt and replace, no special skills needs and just a floor jack safety stands and hand tools top replace the shocks is all that is required..

Sounds like a loose connection. Check all battery and starter connections for clean and tight connections.

Duplicate question.

You need to do a engine control system fault code test first, to do this go here and read the instructions, the code lists are there also.

What's wrong.

does the key have a computer chip built into it. i think it does . if this is the case that,s your problem. the key has to match the computer in the car it,s programed from the factory like this. you either have to use the original ignition lock and key or get the lock in your new column keyed to your original key by a lock smith. than your car will start. good luck.

Check your connections at the battery itself very carefully. These are notorious for causing trouble, especially high resistance like your getting. If your positive side is a double cable set-up, take it all apart and you will most likely find the problem. Alot of the time, the lug in the battery will pull out of the battery case, most of the time it's really heavy corrosion between the cables.

you should use the tumbler from your old column.you can have a bypass installed if you still have one of your old ignition keys, the dealer will have to reprogram your computer to work with a different key.

No adjustment--- where did you get that idea from?You have hydraulic lifters,all cars have for 60 years

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems.

whate do you need to know about the about the engine control module

sounds that the oil pump is broken either the outside sprocket is broken or the pressure valve is stuck or inside the oil pump . You have to remove the sump and solve the problem.

sounds like a blown head gasket

This diagram should help! Look at the passenger side of the motor.

Hi S, Your problem is both dangerous and a bit of a mystery. It sounds as if the engine cut out because you needed to use the emergency brake. Did you know that even if the engine cuts the foot brake will continue to work but will need a good more effort, meaning you'll need to press harder. I believe that you should take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan to find out why the engine cut. Ask them to carry out an additional check of the fuel pump pressure output. Regards John
