Warped rotor. You should get a new one as the cost of repairing the old one vs new is negligable.

Bad conection it's grounding some where when it shows 100mph.

change the stability sensor or and check all the brake system, because when you have a problem with the brakes they automatically lock the car to avoid a crash. could be any other sensor or the pads or anything running abnormal in the brake system.

You are referring to the cylinder head bolt-torque sequence. Here is the instructions, then I'll clarify.

1. Install cylinder head bolts finger-tight. New cylinder head bolts are recommended.
2. Tighten bolts in sequence, tighten the long bolts to 46 ft. lbs. (63 Nm) plus 90 degrees. Tighten the short bolts to 43 ft. lbs. (58 Nm) plus 90 degrees.

The cylinder head is made of aluminum. Over-torque of bolts can result in warping or cracking of the head. Also, some of the head bolts go into the water jacket. Those bolts requires a teflon sealer or water will come up through the threads and result in coolant leaks. Use a thin wood dowel to probe the cylinder head bolt holes to see if they bottom out or go into the water jacket. When you tighten the bolts, do it in the sequence directed, up to the toque specified for each length bolt. Once that has been done, you will make one more circuit of the bolts, tightening each one by 90 degrees. The easy way to do this is to place your torque wrench on a bolt with the handle pointed at 6 o'clock. Tighten the bolt another 90 degrees, or when the handle reaches 9 o'clock. 90 degrees is 1/4 revolution of the bolt. (You can start the wrench anywhere that is convenient to make the 90 degree advance without interruption.)Hope that helps!

You have this listed under Chevy Cavalier....they never made a pickup. More info please.

Have you checked the battery? Or the connections ON the battery and where they connect on the engine and starter,

Can you here fuel pump when you turn the key to accessory. If so then check for spark

2 things come to my mind. first I would check the fuel pump unit. Usually a bad fuel pump would fail when it gets hot,only to resume working after cooling. To check if the fuel pump is operational when the car dies,put the key in On position right before cranking position and try to listen to the fuel pump making its operating noise or not.u need to be in a quite area to be able to hear it. U could take it to a local mechanic and ask him to check the fuel pressure from the pressure valve in the engine bay. second scenario is the CSPS. Crank shaft position sensor,located on the top side of the transmission near the flywheel housing.(front top side of the transmission) a bad Csps would fail and cause the engine to die when it gets hot even under very normal weather conditions. Check and let us know. Good luck

there is no dipstickthere is a plug near the right axle on transmission

there is no dipstick only plug oil levelhow to checkengine running remove oil level plugfill it up until it leak at oil level holethen screw the plug back

there isn`t one.

-The solenoid itself is easy to replace. But how easy you can get to it.-First disconnect battery cable before work on.Mai

in front of engine where the coolant fan is attach to it look to number 1 on photo

Sounds like a problem with the key switch or the anti-theft system.

transmission bad

Try removing either battery cable for about 15 mins. that should reset the computer in car and make battery light go off, if that dont work check battery cables to make sure they are tight. Billy Wyatt
