Chances are your fuel pump needs to be replaced, try some starter fluid to see if you have a fuel problem.

most codes are generic and then their are codes that the manufacturer will have as specific 1391 for a mopar may be different for a toyota or on a ford its a glow plug problem etc --------That code for mopar for the crankshaft position sensor or the CMP sensor once the CKP sensor goes your car wont start at all-----

Question edited for clarity, add maker, and 'PT', no periods. Question moved to model category. Put the red spout on the can of WD40 and give a good squirt in the hole until it bubbles out. Do the same the next day. That should fix it, but if it doesn't you need a locksmith and probably a new lock.

Typically, with what you are describing is a shift solenoid. Can usually be replaced without too much hassel. They are located in the transmission case. I have not worked on your type of vehicle, but if you take off the tansmission fluid pan, they should be right up there.

The most common reason for oil and water mixing is a blown head gasket. This can also cause a low coolant level that can affect the heaters on the vehicle. It could also be worth checking the coolant thermostat as that is also a common reason for overheating.

For strangeness like that you need an auto electrician rather than falling into the 'let's try replacing this' method of auto repair. Their $5,000 pro grade scan tool computer can diagnose and record TCM issues as they happen and solve anything to do with electronics, modules and the ECM / BCM / TCM. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

No fuse, ECM controlled very little amp draw..

I think you have the GM PassLock system? Having a new key or disconnecting the battery disconnects the links between the key and the ECM. This explains how it works, to give you the background for fixing it. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29887709-gm_passlock_security_system To reprogram PASSLock I ignition lock: Step 1. After replacing the lock, try to start the vehicle with a correctly cut key. There is a one in 10 chance that the car will start. Step 2. If the new lock does not match the electronic value in the vehicle's computer, an indicator light on the instrument panel will begin flashing and the car will be disabled. Step 3. Leave ignition in the ON or RUN position. Step 4. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will stop flashing and remain ON. The onboard computer has then been programmed to accept the new lock's signal. The car can be started. If the indicator light turns off, the vehicle is probably equipped with a PASSLock II system. Continue with the following programming procedure. To reprogram PASSLock II ignition lock: Step 1. After replacing the lock, try to start the vehicle with a correctly cut key. There is a one-in-10 chance that the car will start. Step 2. If the new lock does not match the electronic value in the vehicle's computer, an indicator light on the instrument panel will begin flashing and the car will be disabled. Step 3. Leave ignition in the ON or RUN position. Step 4. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will stop flashing and turn OFF. Step 5. Turn the ignition on and back to the ON or RUN position. Step 6. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will stop flashing and turn OFF. Step 7. Turn the ignition on and back to the ON or RUN position. Step 8. After approximately 10 minutes, the light will stop flashing and remain ON. The onboard computer has then been programmed to accept the new lock's signal. The vehicle can now be started. Occasionally, a PASSLock-equipped vehicle will have problems starting. The following information can help to determine the cause of the problem. The PASSLock system does not disable the starter; it only disables the fuel after the engine has started. If the vehicle will not crank, PASSLock cannot cause this condition. If the vehicle starts, but stalls quickly, this condition can possibly be related to PASSLock. Most PASSLock-equipped vehicles have a telltale indicator in the instrument panel. When a PASSLock-equipped vehicle is being started, the instrument panel warning light for PASSLock remains on until the engine starts. For this reason a "No Start" condition should not be confused with PASSLock System fault. ..

Hi, Usually, if you want to reset everything in a vehicle, you would just unplug the battery from the car for 5 to 10 minutes and then plug the battery back in. You can also use the table of contents in the car's manual to help with the resetting of the system as well. Thank you.
