03 chevy impala will not start

Car will not start, tried to do security reset and works occasionally. has new fuel pump and new battery. also stalls while running and then will not restart. seems to be underpowered when running. think its a cpu related issue because its erratic and the security reset where you turn key on and wait 12 minutes will work most of the time. its my sons car, he was driving tonight and it stalled while driving and will not restart. we do not have any real mechanics around here, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I suggest that you take it to a repair ship and have them hook a machine up to the computer in your car to do diagnostics so then you would know what exactly is going on so you could fix it once and for all.

How can I bypass the security code

Why do think the key security is bad? If you still have a factory key, this is not the problem...if no factory key, you can take your VIN number or original key to GM dealer to get new key that they will program for you...Check for dirty battery connections:)

Why is it that my 2003 impala will crank and turnover but wont start

I sounds like you have a fuel flow problem. Replace the in-line fuel filer located in the fuel line in front of the rear tire. Check out this web site for "how to" replace the in-line fuel filter.

2002 chevy impala having intermitten starting issues

As with any no start issue, someone will have to figure out if you are dealing with a no spark or no fuel problem to proceed.
If you have to rely on a shop they may have to keep the car for a few days to track down the problem.

How do I get my passcode for my 03 chevy Impala, and how do I reset it? I just bought a new battery today because I thought it would fix my security issue I'm dealing with on my car but this seems to not...

This may be a passlock issue.Try this procedure to see if it will reset your passlock.
PASSKEY LOCKOUT RESET ALL GM CARS 1999 AND UP
1) Put the key in the ignition and turn to the "ON" position. Leave it that way for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes turn the key and take it out. Repeat this process (2) more times (3 times, 30 minutes total) This should reset the PASSKEY system to recognize your key

When car warms up it sometimes stalls and hesitates occasionally while driving(foot on gas pedal)

Try a new fuel filter,and if this does not help,have the fuel pressure tested,to see if the fuel pump is failing.

I have an 03 saturn vue, 2wd with auto trans. When driving, usually at less than 2 miles the engine shuts down at about 500 rpm like when stopping for a red light. Have to disconnect battery to reset...

sounds like a throttle sensor fault do to the fact that the saturn vue doesnt idle at 500 normally its uaually between 600-800. i suggest getting it hooked to a diagnostic machine to find wat the codes are cause im sure it will be several.

01 chevy impala. power mirrors and gas gauge not working

Check all fuses and relays. As far as the gas gauge, you may need a new fuel pump, fuel pump relay, or the float on the fuel pump is loose or came off from ear and tear.The mirrors: check the fuses; also, check, or have the button panel in the door checked to ensure the connection are secure. May need a new switch for the mirrors. I am not familiar with this vehicle; but this is what I suggest doing to solve the issues.
