Does it have spark , pull a plug wire an hold it close to the engine , metal ! If it has spark spray carburetor cleaner in the throttle plate an see if it try's to start , if it does you have a fuel delivery problem . fuel pump , fuel pump relay , electric circuit problem GM Fuel Pump Relay Testing
It is located on the lower back of the engine. You have to remove the radiator over flow tank, there is 2 bolts(10mil) on top of tank, then lift the tank up, make sure you leave the hose connected.once you have the tank out of the way, take a rag and wipe the dirt and oil off of the cap before you check the oil level.
Quite a few idea's come to mind. 1) Thermostat is stuck open, causing the engine to run cool. 2) The vacuum valve that opens and closes the air "flap" is stuck open, allowing cool air in all the time. 3) The vacuum valve that opens and closes the line that feeds the heater core isn't opening all the way.
Best guess here is that the lever that controls the temperature is NOT opening the valve that lets hot water flow to the heater.
The other best bet - after a bad thermostat - is that there is a blockage, perhaps a air bubble in the system blocking coolant flow to the heater. Try taking the radiator cap off and running it for awhile; see if the fluid in the radiator gets hot. If there's an air bubble this might "burp" the system.
Check the brake caliper on the wheel that drags. Could be locked up. Could be the caliper or the hose going to it. Lift the front off the ground, release the hose from the caliper. If it lets loose, replace the hose, if not replace the caliper. And if the caliper/brakes are good. Then have internal transmission problems.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor/Barometric Pressure Sensor measures the rise and fall of the air pressure inside the Intake Manifold. It provides critical data needed for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the Air Fuel Ratio, the Ignition Spark Timing and many components of the Emission Control Systems.
Code P0109 sets when there is inconsistent or erratic performance in the voltage signal to the PCM from the MAP/Baro Sensor Circuit if this was helpful please leave good feedback
It is absolutely possible for this to be the case. When the thermostat is not reading the temperature of the coolant properly, the engine ECU or computer will sometimes not allow the transmission to shift either correctly or at all. I have a ford ranger that will not shift into overdrive on cold days until the engine has gotten up to a warmer temperature. This is because the ECU is limiting the transmission from shifting into overdrive while the thermostat is still registering cold temperatures. Now if the transmission is shifting rough or randomly, that could be another problem like a shift solenoid inside the transmission. But as far as your original question, yes a bad thermostat can definitely be a possible reason for a transmission not shifting "normally". Hope this helps.
Sounds like they did a lousy job at balancing them or did not balance them at all. This is where I would begin. It could be a faulty bad tire if the balance checks out.
I will try first checking if they are not unplugged. They are under the hood right in front of the radiator below the passenger head light next to the bumper. and the fuses are located inside on the left side next to the head lights switch
i would check the library first as its free to checkout, if they do not have one you can pick one up at your local auto parts store or chevrolet dealer.
there is a tube or hose running from the radiator to a plastic bottle, the bottle has two lines on it, maximum and minimum levels, when the coolant level is lower than the minimum line you can fill it to the max line. one note of caution: if the car is hot or cold this can change the level so check it when you first go out in the morning to start it.
