It is a hot rod, It doesn,t like low speed,

first make sure battery is good if they are weak they will lose charge. if good one method i did is loosen the positive battery and take it off the post and put it back on and listen for maybe a clicking noise or some sound of something coming on.

Sounds like either your plug wires have been mixed up and aren't to what cylinder they should be or the timing is off.

Hi. this code represents an issue within the mass air flow sensor. it is malfunctioning at this point. the mass air flow sensor Measures the volume and density of air entering the engine, so the electronic control module can determine how much fuel is needed to maintain the correct air to fuel mixture. There are two basic types: heated wire and heated film (grid); both work on the same principle.

A faulty MAF will cause driveability problems resulting from incorrect ignition timing and improper air/fuel ratios.

this device is located Under hood, center, upper engine area, mounted on rear of air intake duct


To replace a MAF sensor:

• Locate the sensor.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Unplug the wiring harness and vacuum hose.
• Unscrew the two screws holding the sensor in place.
• Reverse the procedures to install a new sensor.

Please rate and god bless:)

1996 impala ss - odometer light goes on and off - now it wont go on - would go in and out when when dimmer was moved. speedometer and odometer both worked and speeedometer still works - think is just the light?

Is it engine oil or transmission fluid? Is it driven often or does it sit in the garage? If engine oil, then possibly the rear seal is leaking into the bellhousing as you drive and then draining on the floor after you stop. If ****** fluid, then possibly front seal on ****** is leaking. If car sits for long periods of time the input shaft seal can allow fluid to leak past the shaft. This usually will fix itself when driven. Can't promise it will fix itself permanently. Will not be an easy fix if either seal needs replacing (or cheap).

check you throttle body whether is clean if not clean it. Also check for any vacuum leak,spark plugs,blogged fuel filter.

tune up ...when was last or first time?

The security light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM. (Theft Deterrent Module) The TDM is what tells your computer that the correct key is being used and that it is "OK" to allow the vehicle to start and run. These 3 parts must be in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending important signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, (normally due to a failing/broken part) the car goes into antitheft mode. The car misinterperates this and thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is NOT getting that signal from YOUR specific key. There is where the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. So basically, if that light is on, your system has some sort of failing part. This can start as an intermittent "no start", to your vehicle not running for days at a time, to the vehicle NEVER starting again. The problem is electrical and computer based, so don't count on an easy reset button, or the problem fixing itself. The hard part is isolating which part is the problem. You can spend a thousand dollars through a mechanic very easily. I have had great luck with bypassing the entire system. This way the problem will never return. It actually CAN'T ever return because it is eliminated. This can also be done yourself at a much cheaper cost. Read through this link very carefully. You'll find alot of information and pictures, along with ways to help you fix this.http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/
