Problems starting Chev Epica?

I have a 2006 chev Epica, I am having problems as it intermittently will not start. I call a tow truck and when they get there it starts. It seems to be related to the shift, but they changed the switch and it is still doing the same thing, however sometimes if I push and hold the shift down on a second attempt to start, it works. What should I have looked at? Is there a risk of it just stopping while I am driving?

SOURCE: 2006 Chev Cobalt oil filter replacement

i have a 2006 chevy cobalt LT..and i just replaced my oil filter today!!! after several hours of looking i finally looked on the front side of the transmission block.to the left just below the air intake system is a hard heat resistant plastic black bolt topper.it is 1 1/4" in size..i bought a 1 1/2" size and a 36mm size socket torque wrench..both didnt work..1 1/2 was way too big, the 36mm was just slightly too big..took them back, replaced for the 1 1/4" inch socket and voila!!! is was rather difficult..you will need an extender and some good torquing to do to pop it..but once you do it will pop fine..oh, and you will need a 1/2" drive socket wrench.but the 1 1/4"inch socket..pop it onto a 1/2" drive socket wrench with the extender and you are good to go!!

sounds like you should start by dropping the pan and changing the filter, put cheap fluid in it or reuse the old fluid if its not too bad bring it to a shop and have a transmission flush performed with a good flush machine your valve body is sticking and this should clear things up please rate -jeff

SOURCE: I need to reset my computer on a 2006 chev equinox

there are 2 ways to do this, use a scan tool ($50 for a basic one) to reset the light, the other is to disconnect the battery for 5-10 minutes, be advised if the problem is not corrected that set the light the light will come back on in about 20 miles, also if the system is not ready u will fail smog, this means they (person doing the smog) know there was a problem.

SOURCE: 03 Chev 1500HD Ran out of gas. now wont start

Same thing happened to me it was just a fuel pump fuse under the hood. The fuel pump is located in the gas tank, it uses the fuel that is pumped through it for cooling. When the pump runs dry it gets hot and draws too many amps.

The dealer screwed you.

You cannot run out of gas in these Silverados unless you have a spare fuse on hand. Luckily after a bit of troubleshooting I figured this out on the side of the road before I had to have it towed.

I have a 2006 chev duramax diesel.It is chipped with banks 6 pack and will stall after running fine for an hour towing a trailer

Not sure I get the description of issue,, the bang is confusing,, I would check to be sure the fuel filter is not lose or the housing is not sucking air. Keep in mind that with your increased fuel used for the tune you are elevating your egt the turbo and the exhaust are likely getting excessive heat while towing. By the way this is not a good thing. I would install a egt sensor and keep a close eye on it.

04 Chev Epica, will not start, no 4 ways no turn signals, no pwr mirrors, windows or door locks? Checked fuses, possible computer problem?

I had a similar problem recently with my Epica. During extremely cold weather I tried to use the windscreen washers which were frozen. This blew a fuse within the interior fuse box which controls the wipers, indicators etc. This also activated the flashing red security light on the display. The vehicle was still running but when I truned off the engine it refused to start again. Required to change the fuse (which from recollection is the 3rd down on the right - 10amp) before it would work again. Eventually blew again so replaced it with a 15amp fuse and been working fine ever since....

Voltage intermittent, engine missing at all speeds, affect auto trans. shifting, kills hot or cold

The charging system, pedal, and sensors have been checked. The trans. problem and missing problems were the original problems and when my mechanic finally sent me to Chev. none of the problems " choose to show themselves." I should know on Mon. if my mechanic has solved the problems with the greater number of symptoms. Keep me in your files. More later-  Bill
