check the iac valve idle air control valve its on the throttle body needs service. or replacement.

I've never heard of a said fuel reset but their are fuel pump relays! Can you hear the fuel pump humming when ignition is turned on? If not Google fuel relay positions and feel the relays when keys turned on and you should feel a clock or something in relays also you can switch a cpl around to see if it fixes your problem!

I THINK ITS HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASGET OR A WORP HEAD LOSEING COMPERSON

If the belt broke while the engine was running, it is very possible you have bent valves. A compression test would confirm it. Bent valves won't let the cylinder build compression. Without compression the air/fuel mixture won't burn and so no power is produced from that cylinder. I would recommend the compression test. If all cylinders are uniformly low, check your timing marks on the belt sprockets- you may have gotten the belt off a tooth or two.

Electronic Traction system is off

Could be crankshaft sensor.

Hi, you can ask about your gmc , what you need to know?

wheel berings

The oil filter is located on the passenger side of the engine. It is down about the middle of engine. It is easier to change from the top of car. Good-Day!

Not all machines read abs faults, is it at a garage or a personal one? my machine doesn't show them

I think that one is a 32mm...could b wrong tho.. I'd grab my 32 and 36 if I were going to take it off without looking

its on the passenger side under the dash behind the glove box. the heater air box has to be removed to replace. if you have a/c the system will have to be discharged as its in the same box and will come out with the box.

No one on the internet has that answer I may take a shot a fixing my own,but fail to see a repair shop do so,they don't have the welding skills On a 17 year old vehicle,wow.good luck there It can be done, or you can get one at a salvage & switch them I only see that being done by the owner,way, way too expensive to pay a shop

these use a timing chain and gears. it may need a tune-up, have a plugged fuel filter, air filter plugging up or coming apart, dirty injectors or fuel supply system, a failing fuel pump, a bad egr valve stuck open completely or partly.

with engine running at operating temperature,put car in park ,then check the oil level,if it is not bright red ,or brownish,very dark red,or smell like rotten egg,you have to change the fluid,or have the shop do it,if your has high millage,DO NOT FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION,just change it

If the shift handle moves extremely freely (more than normal), changes are that the shift cable has become disconnected from the shift lever. This would explain the indicator not moving out of neutral. You will need to access the shift lever by removing the console cover. Once you access the shifter check the cable connection to the level. If the cable is broken, it will need replacement. If the cable clip has broken or fallen off, it will need to be reattached.

Sounds more like the fuel pressure regulator...why do you think it is anti-theft related?

Hello. If the brakes pump up after you start your engine, it means your brakes are good and there are no bleeds. They pump up as the car builds pressure inside the brake fluid circuit. If the pedal loses pressure and hits the floor while the engine is on, this means that you may have brake fluid leaks and your brakes won t hold much longer (needs immediate fix).

The security system is probably not matched up
