Why is RS Vector not firing on any cylinder?
Check power to ignitor, if you have power to ignitor, the ignitor may be faulty, or it's magnetic sensor is at fault.If you do not have power to the ignitor, you need to trace the circuit looking for breaks in the wiring, checking fuses, etc.
Start up g6 gt 2007 whining noise
You need to determine where the noise is coming from. Check your power steering fluid and make sure it is full. Remove your serpentine belt and see if the noise goes away, That will let you know if it is coming from the engine or an accessory or pulley bearing. If the noise goes away whith the belt removed, check the alternator bearing and pulley bearings. If the noise is still there whith the belt removed, that means it is either in the engine or transmission.
Why is there no power to brake lite switch
what car, year,maker ,model
power to switches are fuse blown.
on old cars.
then 2007 to 2010
there is no fuse the BCM body brain runs brake lamps direct
and a small voltage digital signal from the switch
totally differ ways on new cars
is this a trail lamp issue?
tell car and I will show you the brake schematic from the online
FSM book.
2007 gt g6 all instruments on panel is flashing
A mechanic's scan tool would lbe necessary to check all the modules. The problelm could be either in the wiring or the control modules. There is also the chance the dimmer switch could be turned off or defective. Or, the electrical part of the ignition switch could be problematic. Because of the possibilities, use of the scan tool would seem the route to go.
Do the engine have to be warm to check for coolant leak with a radiator pressure tester?
To check for a coolant leak with a radiator pressure tester, the engine does not have to be warm. In fact, it's safer to perform the test when the engine is cool to avoid the risk of burns.
Here are the general steps to perform a coolant pressure test:
Make sure the engine and the system is cool since hot coolant can burn, and that the cooling system has no pressure.
If the coolant level is low, add water or coolant to raise it.
Remove the radiator cap once the system is cool and depressurized.
Connect the pressure tester to the coolant reservoir or the radiator.
Pump the pressure tester to apply pressure to the cooling system without going over the system's psi number on the radiator cap, which the pressure tester's gauge measures.
If the pressure gauge drops quickly, there is a leak. The slower the gauge drops, the smaller the leak.
As for your Buick, it's possible that the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant. This is a common problem in many GM vehicles, including Buicks34. The coolant can leak externally, or in some cases, it may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. If you suspect this is the case, it's recommended to get it checked and repaired by a professional mechanic.
