There is a fuse you can remove. Best bet, look in your owner's manual for the fuses. One fuse box is in the dash and one under the hood. One of these has 'lock' on it. The manual will point out which box to look at.

Sounds like you have issues with the fuel gauge sender unit in the fuel tank.

Hi Joe, I'm Al the owner of Big As Auto Repair Joe, this is a hard one to help you with because without diagnosing what it shutting down the we are basically guessing. I want promise anything but I'll surely give it a try. The biggest problem with a hot dyeing problem and then it restarts OK when cold is that this is most of the time a loose connection or something going bad. If in fact it could be a loose connection it could be anywhere. Here's what happens, when it gets hot the wire if its a wire will pulls apart and lose contact and when it cools down it will retract and make contact again. Here is something to try. Start the engine and tap on the engine controller and see if the engine dyes. If it does then first check all the connectors and wires before condemning the controller. If nothing happens at the controller perform a wiring wiggle test and see if it dyes. If in fact it does dye in a certain area then pull the wires apart in that area and also check the connectors that close to that area. NOW, if nothing happens with the wiring and controller then you could possibly have a fuel pump that's getting hot a shutting down. You'll need to check this with a fuel gauge to see if the fuel is shutting off. For further assistance go to my website. Have an awesome day Joe. Auto Repair

only has one cam heads only have rocker and valves not sure what you are asking?

that is the low coolant warning, these sensors are noted for false readings, so if the coolant is ok then replace the low coolant sensor in the radiator side tank.

Not sure about your car. Normally the temp sensor is located somewhere on the intake manifold as it needs to sense the coolant temp. You can get the precise location from the service manual. Check with your local library. they have access to free service manuals for almost any car, but you can only get access at the library. Sometimes from your home computer if you have a library card and they provide the u/n and p/w.

Hi Rita, What are you saying here , your engine turns over or not ? No Crank No Start Diagnosis EricTheCarGuy

You may have a bad body control module.

Hi, try turning the steering wheel clockwise and anti clockwise at the same time turning the key, should release the key.

look for a red square block with 2 wires in the connector some where around the thermostat housing or in the head / block

body control module...yep. Alarm too.

It is in the air filter box. On the bottom of it. Why are you looking for it. Or replacing it?

There isn't one. Since you already did the fuses. If your up to it. Take the turn signal switch out. Take it apart and fix it, the inside of it.. You need a soldering gun and solder. There is only one thing that may op out. The horn spring. Plus the button for the horn will drop,out. Just look at the contacts and solder them up( divots have to be filled in). Plastic will melt. just watch. it works. Fixed a lot of them. You can do it...You already passed the first step..

Ethan, do you have a twitch in your right leg that only happens when it's cold ouside? Just kidding! It's obviously a temperature thing if it only happens in the winter. Possibilities could be intake air temperature sensor, idle control sensor or ambient air temp sensor. It would be a good idea to see if there are any pending engine malfunction codes possibly stored in your car's computer. Even if your engine light is not on, there may be a pending codes that might help pinpoint the problem. Does the car surge at idle or when your driving? A little more information as to when it happens and how low the temp needs to get to trigger this condition would be helpful.

look in your manual.

is the sercurity light on on your dash?? this might be the answer check it out its what fixed my car.. read over the site.. hope it helps

Ive done my research on this issue because it happened to me.. this is a common issue with GM cars. I found a module and you can install it yourself. It will bypass the security and allow your car to start. its not just a quick fix, its permanent... hope this helps

Did you try to add freon because is was no longer blowing cold air? Who added the freon local repair shop or A/C specialist?
