It sounds like you have a leaking heater core. But definately check the hoses going to it also. Sometimes if those hoses get a crack or small hole in them they can cause some steam inside the car as well.

Good Luck

if you have an autozone near you they will test for free there are 2 codes one is function other is driveabillity

If brute force doesn't unstick it remove the back seat and pull the cover off of the reel. The problem should be apparent. You can turn the reel with a large screwdriver if need be.
If the belt is damaged find another one at your local recycler, the side reel is behind a plastic panel that is easily removed, the assemblies are held in by big bolts.

you need an alignment. Its a toe-in, your tie rods need to adjusted. Check your tire pressure too.

YES, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR UNDER THE CAR YOU WILL SEE A SMALL HOSE WHERE THE CONDENSATE IS SUPPOSE TO RUN FROM TRY S SMALL PIECE OF WIRE AND SLIDE IT UP AND SEE IF AND WATER RUNS OUT JUST MAKE SURE THE BLOWER IS NOT ON IT DOESN'T LIKE OBJECTS POKING AT IT. SLAO MAKE SURE THE HOSE IS SEATED IN THE FIRE WALL

I assume you mean Supercharged. Look at your engine. If it is supercharged, you will see a large component with a shaft and pulley at the drive belt side of the engine right on top of the engine. It is usually grey or white in colour.

not sure abot book time. actual time is about 45 minutes with proper tools

You know the pump is located inside the gas tank right? First car has to be up on jack stands, secound you have to get as much gas as you can out of tank for weight purposes, third all electrical connections have to be unhooked, and fuel lines have to be unhooked and filler tube unhooked, and maybe exhaust droped, and last the straps that hold tank in. Now its best to have some help to do this, because if you can't get the gas out it will be heavy( 8# a gal. it adds up), and also its akward. Good luck.

Have free scan for codes done at Autozone or Pep Boys, and go from there. Eliminates guess work & unnecessary parts replaced.

You can have a leak at the pan on the bottom or the front pump seal or the tail shaft seal at the very rear. Most of the time it will be the pan gasket. The constant heat and vibration can cause this to occur. Not a big deal. You can pick up another pan gasket and filter and change them both. The tail seal is an easy fix also. Remove the drive line and pop the seal out and place the new one in. If it is the front pump seal you will have to remove the transmission to gain access for replacement. Good luck.

It is a mute point because you can't do this yourself. Your system has air in it plus moisture. All that need sucking out with a refrigerant gas recovery machine to create a very strong vacuum, then the system is checked for leaks. Only then is the refrigerant gas installed by weight. Freon is the brand name for a gas that is no longer used. There is a sticker in the engine bay that tells you the weight of gas and the amount of oil. This explains, take it to a shop that does AC. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29878326-recharging_vehicle_air_conditioner ..

The blower resistor may be going bad and need replacing. Does it do it only on one or any fan speed? I'm not sure where that particular part is located for it has been number of years I have looked at vehicles older than 18 yrs. but I hope this steers you in the right direction. Jesus loves you, John 3:16-17 (KJV)

I think you could use this manual method instead.. My nephew used it to repair my car and it's totally perfectly fine now. Here's the website he bought it from. www.reliable-store.com

GM doesn't believe in making things easy. No access panel

How do you know it's surging? In any case, about the only thing that can cause this is a faulty regulator in the alternator, or a poor wiring connection (e.g. battery cable or at alternator).

Have you checked the vacuum line with a gauge? If so, how many pascal units does the vacuum line read? Vacuum gauges are around $5. Furthermore, I believe the design is sealed vacuum only system. The solenoid could be bad, but to my knowledge it is not an electrical component. A split in one of the vacuum lines could be cause of your problem. You would have to trace the all the vacuum lines back to the source to find the problem. You would need that gauge to detect a leak in the system. Could also replace all the vacuum lines on principle since the vehicle is going on two decades.
