sounds like a plugged fuel filter.

Take the battery cables off and hold them together for 3-5 minutes, this will reset the computer and the car should return to normal.

it Is possible , but check the neutral position switch on the transmission where the shifter hooks up. Two larger wires in the two plugs one purple and one should be yellow test light the yellow and see it it gets power when the switch is turned to crank position if it is and nothing coming out of the purple you got a bad switch ..

Tricky problem. Small wires go to security box close to the ecm under dash. these are prone to break. The for sure solution is to purchase a pass key bypass box, to take place of the factory box only drawback is, YEA! no more key with resistor .Google passkey bypass , there are several manufactures. Unless there is a problem with the ecm :( Hope this helps

you need to check the fuselink to make sure they are clean and the ground is good and the plug behind the dash also give these guys a try it Schram auto & truck parts they sells only GM-parts 1-800-292-1032 and they website is www.schramauto.com and i hope i have been some help to you.Michigan Man

Hi...
If the key is the same matching one which you had earlier then the ignition switch need to be replaced.

You can do it your self. It is bolted on the steering column behind the dash, along with the dimmer switch. You have to drop the column and unscrew the switch. Problem is, the plug with the wiring also has the wiring for the turn signals and dimmer switch. You may have to do some splicing unless you want to feed a harness up the column.

Thanks And Kindly Rate.

Seem more like that while replacing the ignition switch, you might have left some wire loose or disconnected.
Check the horn fuse and relay or the horn assembly. It may be faulty.
Have your mechanic check for 12 volts to the horns when the horn button is depressed. If 12 volts are present, the horns are defective. If zero volts, check horn relay and check for bad connections. It seems odd that both horns would go out at the same time.
Let me know....
Thanks

i am sorry i do not know but i hope this help you try the websites www.autozone.com and www.alldatadiy.com and if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair Manual for your car.

The sensor itself cost about 130 bucks and the sensor is located on top of the motor. It shouldnt take that long to fix it has only 3 screws

check your crankshaft position sensor it may be gone bad

Should be deep under the dash on the drivers side, next to the upper floorboard.

15 different coded keys. these are resistor pellets . ranging in different ohm values if you got a key cut that will turn the cylinder, try google ( passkey ii bypass ) there is a listing of all the ohms radio shack and purchase all of them $30 give or take, get to the two small orange wires around the lock cylinder and cut them close to the lock intall the resistors one at a time in place of where the lock would be ,until you hit the one that lets it stay cranked. no more resistor key needed

I think you should check your connections on the back of the altenator, something is wired incorrectly, if necessary hook up one wire at a time and see what you get. There should be only one large red wire on the BATT connection, and the rest should be in a molded clip that plugs into the altenator, check and ensure that they have a good connection when you hook them up.

Which pulley are you referring to? If it is the one at bottom of the engine that all of the belts go around, you won't get it to move unless you start the car. when you say it won't move, do you mean it won't spin or won't shift position to allow slack in the belt? If it is the alternator not moving, you need to loosen the bolts holding it to the bracket and then slide it so the belt will go on. Did you simply cut the old belt off without loosening the alternator first? Usually the alternator and any other accessory items sharing the belt have to be loosened on their brackets to get the belt on and off and then tightened to get it back on.

Good luck.

i have an injector test done

The O rings on the fuel injection system can be tricky to install. the problem is usually during reinstallation the O rings get pinched. It is possible to replace them yourself. but I would take it to a shop if I had to replace them. the MAF sensor being crushed is not good either.

you need a new blower motor
I had same problem

Sounds like it is telling you that the Airbag is Faulty.

can de it's more time comsuming then anything but takes a bit of research to replace proprely

if the display doesn't light up it is probibally bad check the fuse first then check if u got power at the blower motor.
