MOVED YOU OUT OF CARS TO LAWN MOWER.
that is lost engine power
causes are
bad fuel or old and bad. fuel
all filters clogged,air or fuel
or carb clugged up,. (gunked up from bad fuel super common)
cold starts use a choke and goes super rich hiding clogged jets in carb.
clean carb or replace it if all above filters and fuel good.
This will be directly on the gearbox itself. You will need to get SAFELY under the vehicle to do this. Use a professional vehicle lift or support the car on axle stands, (jack stands). If you are not experienced working on cars it will be easier and a lot quicker to get a good mechanic to do this. They can get under the vehicle easily and will probably just drain and replace it with fresh oil.
On the transmission housing there are two large bolt heads. One positioned low down as the drain plug and one about half way up the side as the fill hole.
When filling use the upper hole and add the correct transmission oil slowly. Stop when it just starts to dribble back out of the fill hole. REMEMBER to refit the fill plug bolt BEFORE starting the engine or driving the car.
Yes...this is a sensor problem and will get worse before it gets better. The crankshaft position sensor on the CTS is famous for this. It's located in the engine block under and slightly ahead of the oil filter and is a bugger to get to. Good luck...i hope this helps.
the most common cause of this by far is lights left on by defective switchs, these include the map lights in the visors, the glove box light due to a defective switch, the trunk light and the hood light if equipped, check it at night and look for a faint glow, the other much less common cause is the alternator has a defective diode and allows a small current to pass to ground drawing the battery down..
chances are fairly good it's the coils - I've posted about this on Edmunds. the OEM design is truely idiotic & has a vent that allows moisture down into the plug well - that shorts the spark & causes misfires. On our 2004 MPV I got away w/cleaning & drying them extremely carefully then sealing the vent w/silicone as a temp measure, then ordered perfect replacement after-market coils off ebay that sealed the wells & stopped the problem -and- were a tiny fraction of the OEM price. good luck, BK
