Trouble Code: P1676 (3.8L V6 VIN K Auto)
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid

Number of Trips to Set Code: 1
OBD II Monitor Type: CCM Details
Indicators: MIL Details

Trouble Code Conditions:
Conditions for Setting the DTC.
  • The ignition is on.
  • An improper voltage level has been detected on the output circuit which controls the EVAP purge solenoid.
  • The above conditions are present for at least 30 seconds.

Possible Causes:
  • Poor connection at the PCM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection.
  • Damaged harness.
  • Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect the PCM, turn the ignition on and observe a voltmeter connected between the EVAP purge solenoid control circuit and ground at the PCM harness connector while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the EVAP purge solenoid. A change in voltage will indicate the location of the malfunction.

I need the easiest possible directions to replace the coolant temperature sensor in my 1999 Chevy Lumina ltz 3.8 v6 car please.

The coolant sensor temperature is usually found just beneath the cylinder head, on the engine block.

You just disconnect the 1-2 wires and then undo it with a wrench.
The sensor will look like one of these:
1999 Chevy Lumina ltz 3 8 v6 coolant temperature sensor Google Search

Just be aware .. you may have TWO such sensors on your vehicle.

One sensor (usually with 3-4 electrical pins) is near the thermostat and works in conjunction with other sensors to regulate fuel/air according to engine temperature.

The other type of sensor is in the block near the cylinder head. It sends a signal to the temperature gauge on your dashboard ONLY. If your temp gauge constantly reads too hot or too cold .. this one is the culprit.25939754-r0ibht2u2t2rhetbyfvb2pry-5-0.jpg
If it's a running fault .. speed .. rough running .. fuel. It may look like this:

Don't have radio code for 1998 chevy lumina ltz. How do i get code?

Call the parts depts at your local chevy dealers. With a 12 year old car a nice parts guy will usually give you the code for free. Look up how to pull the radio code up on the internet (you have to hold down certain buttons on different theft-loc radios). Give the numbers to the parts guy and they will call in and get you the unlock code. Otherwise they charge you to get the number...good luck

Check engine light on a 1996 chevy lumina

Hi there .... the best thing to do right now is to take it somewhere like autozone and get the car scanned for codes. Once you have the codes you can post them here and we can help you with it. Without codes it is a little difficult to diagnose.
