What is the power steering pressure
nil to very low until you turn the steering wheel. At this point the valves close and the pressure can go up to 2000psi until wheel movement stops and then it drops to original reading as the valves close off and allow the pumped oil to by-pass back to the reservoir.
MOTOR BLOWER IS OUT
Hi Raphael, I'm glad to help!
First, you need to check for POWER and GROUND at the motor. If you have both power and ground at the motor then replace the motor. If you do not have power and ground at the motor then check all the fuses, if they are all good then you'll need to take a look at the blower switch and see if its burnt, wiggle the wires and see if the motor starts working, if it does replace he switch and see if they have a wiring pigtail to replace the connector that's burnt, but that's only if it is burnt of course. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Raphael.
My 01 Pontiac Montana is trying to overheat at high power
If your vehicle doesn't actually overheat, just getting hot, I think that's the normal behaviour for these cars. My 03 AWD behaves the same way. When driving uphill, especialy when towing, the temperature rises close to the red marking, but I have never experienced it overheating. I think that the temperature has to rise much over the normal driving temperature to activate the two electric fans.

How to replace the shift linkage in the pontiac montana van
On that van, like many other GM front-wheel-drive vehicles, the shift cable goes through a bracket on the transmission to the linkage( the little metal arm). Where the cable connects to the linkage, there is a ball stud. It takes quite a bit of force to disconnect the cable from that. If it became disconnected at that ball without any other outside influence, the shift cable may need to be replaced. You can try pushing the plastic end of the shift cable back on to that ball stud ,it should click into place.
If the ball stud became disconnected from the linkage(little metal arm), the linkage would need to be replaced.
There should be a locknut holding the linkage to the transmission stud right above the range selector switch. If it came loose of there, you may need a new linkage, and to replace that nut
