What I can tell you-- is that the egr valve,fuel injectors,crank sensor,
maf sensor-- never failed all at once or at all

That tells me three things

Either nothing was tested
You have no idea what was done & paid for it
Or you installed a lot of parts for no reason

What you can do is find a really good & honest repair
shop & start at the beginning & properly diagnose &
resolve all the cars issues

Had that been done in the beginning, it may have cost
less than all the wasted parts that went in so far for no reason

    well the mechanic that i take my car to is very reliable and hes not charging me to install most of the parts cause he hasn't fix the issue but he tells me that the scanner doesn't give him any codes all the parts he change are codes that the scanner give him

    Codes do not tell you what is wrong Codes are an indication of a system with a fault You component test using reference material & trouble charts No professional work diagnostic testing for free You charge diagnostic time & repair time I doubt you have had a need to install several parts Try a different shop

Backfires are usually out the tail pipe on deceleration and can be caused by several things. First is the most common and that is an exhaust leak close to the front of the exhaust system. Other causes are ignition timing off.
An oil leak at a breather pipe will not cause a backfire although an engine problem can cause a backfire inside the engine that can blow breather pipes off which then can be an oil leak. To be safe, you should have a compression test run on the engine to eliminate that one as a cause.

------------

The backfire,bucking,sputtering,misfiring etc etc is most likely due to the gas still pumping into vehicle cylinder when the engine cuts out, then is overloaded with gas when the engine kicks back in.

It happens due to a rich mixture of fuel and it's bad for your plugs (ie it fouls them) and catalytic converters over time. That unburnt fuel ignites in your exhaust and you hear the backfire, sputtering.

You can also experience a popping sound due to gas flow through an exhaust. As you change gears fast gas flow is mixed with slow gas flow and a pop occurs due to the reverberations.---------



So get the compression test done, get the fuel pressure tested and this will point towards the problem.

2003 impala stalls while driving and right after start... It stalls when the car is warm or cold, stopped, coasting or getting on the highway... It stalls when the car has been driven and go to restart...

If you have an engine light on you might ask autozone to read the code and tell you what's wrong. It could be that your spark plugs are worn out. If the spark plug gap is too great then that could cause stalls due to lack of ignition.

I have an 02 impala Service traction control light comes on right away and when your driving down the road it makes a loud roaring sound when you turn to the left and goes away when you turn to the right....

Hi, your right front wheel bearing has failed. This induces vibration to the wheel speed sensor pickup that caused the traction control fault. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

2001 chev impala ls makes whirring type noise when going down the street. Sounds like its coming from the drive or tranny. Stops when I veer right.

This sounds like the hub bearing.If it stops when you turn right then it is the right side front.When you veer right this takes the weight off the right side and the noise goes away.If the noise comes back and stays there when you veer left then the weight of the vehicle is on the right side.Hope this helps.Good luck.
