If you don't mind spending the money, go to Helm (helminc.com) and indicate you particular vehicle to get a listing of publications offered and the prices.

Low piston pressure can be caused by worn rings, or more likely a broken valve of some sort.

I would have the engine looked over by the dealer or an engine specialist. Be warned that after 10 years some parts become discontinued at GM, but the dealer I am told is the best place to go for many repair jobs, although they may be more expensive than aftermarket shops.

Good luck on this repair.

Does it sound metallic clicking? How long have you noticed the clicking?

Hi, the manual says it's on the blower:

1. Remove the front floor kick-up panel.
   
2. Remove the cover from the I/P electrical center.
3. Remove the BLO MOT (blower motor) MaxiFuse No. 49 from the I/P electrical center.
4. Remove the right side instrument panel lower insulator panel.
5. Disconnect the blower motor resistor electrical connector from the blower motor.

Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Check the IAC valve.The Idle Air Control valve.The IAC valve located near the throttle body behind the engine near the firewall. If the valve checked out faulty of it is got dirty then idle will not be controlled and this problem can be seen,.Also check the O2 sensors and EGR valve too.Thanks.Helpmech.

This is a pretty common problem on a lot of different models of Chevrolet. I think they should have done a recall on this. But it is the actual switch that causes this. There are a lot of people that think that it is the circuit card in the actual motor. But they end up spending a couple of hundred dollars and still having the same problem.

There is a picture of the clips and there location on page 267 (section 6-17) of the owners manual, if you do not have a manual you can go here http://www.gm.com/gmownercenter/gm/ to download one you will need a Yahoo ID to use the free GM site. I would copy the picture but the program doesn't allow it.

There is a Rear end disconnection of the Wiring harness, most likely in the Trunk.

Have you thought about the safety Interlock? The Park and Neutral positions allow the Starter to crank and the engine to run. There is also a position sensor on the clutch for stickshifts so that the clutch (and brake?) have to be depressed to start the engine.

With an Automatic its easier to envision the slide switch moving so when you chose a gear, it kills the engine.( But remains running in P or N.)

check ignition wires for proper order.

you cant you have to replace the radiator the tanks are not repairable

Pull the steering wheel and clean the turn signal switch and look for broken parts. If that doesn't fix it, then replace the turn signal wand on the steering column.

Sounds like you have a fuse out in your control panel. Look inside your owners manual and locate the fuse panel, check the fuses and replace.

You have a fault occurring in the factory anti-theft security system, the only way to find out what fault is causing this is to have the GM dealer hook up a scanner to watch the system and see what exactly is going on to cause the shutdown, the system is way to complex to guess not to mention horribly expensive to repair, so guessing is a really bad idea. I am a fellow Vette owner and now what I am saying is the straight dope.

yes, you need to use it every month or so to keep the seals soft. It's probably leaking and low on R-134a.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5833579-auto_truck_c_recharge . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

short in the headlamp switch you have

Sounds like a dead battery. However, I will tell you that these vehicles are very sensitive to voltage. Try cleaning the battery cables and tightening them properly.
