2000 Chevy Lumina wouldn't start at gas station out of nowhere...security light and volt light came on.

to reset security you'll ned to do the 10min key with ign. on for 3times after each 10 min turn key off briefly then back on without trying to restart after 30min or three 10min ign on cycles turn off key briefly then the car should start

I have a 1996 chevy silverado 4wd with an automatic transmission that has 180,00 miles and had the transmission rebuilt at 145,000 miles. From first to second gear it wont shift unless you left offf the...

Put a line pressure gauge (or visit a local trans shop) on the pressure test port and go for a drive to verify proper line pressure. Base pressure at idle in P,N,OD should be around 70psi and around 140psi in R. Max line pressure should be at least 190psi at WOT in 1st or 2nd, 225psi is optimum. If base pressure is low, trans or pump is worn out. If max pressure is low, check EPC solenoid. If reverse is slow to engage, and line pressure does not come up to at least 130psi in reverse, replace the boost valve with a Transgo 0.500" boost valve (easy fix in pan)
1-2 shift does not happen at WOT until you let off the gas: Best case: try replacing the TPS. Middle case: leak in the 2nd gear apply circuit (servo assembly or 1-2 accumulator). Doublecheck by using the pressure gauge and watch for a big drop when the PCM commands 2nd gear. Worst case: poor line pressure rise
1-2 Shift shudder at WOT; delayed or abnormal 1-2 shift; There's a problem ONLY on the 1-2 shift: 1-2 accumulator piston cracked or stuck cocked in the bore. Check the yellow spring inside the accum housing for breakage. Also, if the accumulator housing walls are scored, the housing must be replaced. Easy fix in the pan.
1-2 shift is delayed and harsh, may not shift into OD: Check TPS for smooth and linear electrical response over the entire range of motion. If not, replace.
Good luck and suspect the first two problems mentioned above. Thank you for suing fixya

98 chevy pickup wont shift out of first onless you lift out of the gas pedal and shifts all the time messed up on the hiway

That usually indicates poor fluid pressure you may want to take it to a trans shop, it is also a computer controlled trans and has solenoids internally to control shift patterns. Sorry I cant tell you its something simple. lee

My 1997 Chevy Lumina won't start, it sounds like it wants to but it wont turn over, has gas, tried the carb spray, still won't start. Help!!!

did you use carb cleaner or starter fluid. if you try starter fluid and it starts for a second and then dies you might have a fuel pressure issue. if not check for spark.

At the rear of the shifter lever on the column you find 2 screws. These screws had worked themselves loose causing the shifter to become loose and sloppy.

Sounds, Like It's just low on trans fluid.
Check the trans be sure, It's full.
Check when the trans is hot.
If It's full you, May try to service the
transmission. Make sure a new trans filter is
installed.( It may be cloged)
If that does not fix the problem chances
are the trans is Done.
