The metallic rattling comes and goes. I had 2 or 3 "quiet" years, now the noise is back. In fact, it stops as soon as you start your A/C.
It does not seem to harm the engine, the only problem that it gets on my nerves.
It does not completely answer your question, but at least you can drive without too much worries.
I need help getting po134 code for o2 sensor just replaced sensors for code po131 and po141 for heaters in o2 after 2weeks of replacing sensors car runs good no vacuum leaks that i could tell can anybody have any lead way to my problem. thanks it a 2000 bonneville ssei
Have the symptoms been there since the replacement?
Did you change the computer and PROM in the computer--or at least the PROM?
Feeling the type of stalling and getting more conditions about when it stalls would help. How many miles on the car? On the motor?
P071 may be due to MAF, vacuum leaks, and some other things. The MAF sensor can be cleaned with spray after taking it off-two screws, security type screws.
Fuel pump problem, low pressure after warming up.
Crankshaft position sensors do funny things.
The intake screen ont he end of the throttle body should be there. Is it? That is the honeycomb screen that straightens the airflow before the MAF sensor.
Try spraying carb cleaner around all the hoses and the edge of the upper intake. Some have found hoses dry rotted or split near the ends especially in areas that get some gas fumes or high heat.
Remove and clean the EGR valve.
Other mentions have been the lower seals on fuel injectors age due to the heat and need replacement--cheap and easy.
But diagnosis is important, otherwise you're just throwing money at the problem.

Have you tried aftermarket shops selling nonGM brands...?

On the base of the wiper at the pivot is a tab sticking up along the side. Pull that tab out to move a plate in place to hold the wiper up off the windshield and take the spring pressure off.
Then you can wiggle the whole wiper straight up off the hub splines. Enjoy.

Are there some cheaper items to begin with first that I may not be considering before the dreded transmission shop and the violation without dinner or a drink first?
Otherwise, transmission pump might be a cause.
If you have a camera that records mpgs, you might record the sound and post a link to it on a photobucket.com free account. Others here may have experience and be able to distinguish the sounds from each other.

The whine does not change as I turn the steering wheel, only with the rpm range and I have checked all fluid levels and hoses on the car. I put a stethescope on the pullys and can't quite determine if any are making an out of caracter noise.
I just bought a Chilton but it does not go over any of the sensors that I have seen so far. Could the whine be caused by a bad sensor or should I be fearing the worse? I have been considering putting a bottle of Lucas in the transmission to see if there is any change.
I think someone who knows the 4T65E transmission needs to hear the problem and connect a diagnosis computer to it. Don't trust just the first shop, because they're like surgeons, they only make money for doing surgery.

Is this common and accurate? cheapest quote so far is 1600.00 - 1800.00 depending on intensity of rebuild.

I just bought a 2000 pontiac bonneville
Just found out today that the cigarette lighter does not work and neither does the lights for the center console where you shift into drive as well as all the buttons where the ac/heat is.
Does anyone know if these are both fuse problems and if so where are they located and what kinds do i need
any help would be great I know nothing about cars
thanks, Sam

Best advice I can give you is to find the actual factory service manual from GM sold by Helminc.com. Be careful, lots of people pawn off manuals taht are not authentic or they sell one volume instead of the 2 or 3 in the actual group. They are sold on helminc.com and probably are around $135.

Look here for info.
Try searching for code readers that have the special adapter and are able otherwise to read the codes from the 1995s.
Ask at advance auto., e.g,

Thanks.
People have found the communication lines from the driver door module to the other three doors (and windows?) corrode at the connector beneath the driver seat. I think I have pictures somewhere. The lines are a tan or light brown. Pull back the carpet at the back of the driver seat. Look for moisture and for four wires crimped together.
One said to look in a plastic sleeve bundling wires under the driver's seat. Look for brown with white stripe wires. Follow to a corroded connector. They took the driver's seat out (which is four bolts and several connectors).

Now I worked on it last night and I put a test light between the Negitive cable and the battery and got a bright light, so I started pulling out fuse one by one and on the firewall there is a maxi fuse labeled horn, turn sig, and trunk when I pull it out the light went dim any help would be great!!!
I'll check what's on that circuit when I can get to my service manual.

PWR WDO/SR Circuit Breaker 30 amp
HORNS/DR LKS/TRNK RLY, 60 amp
SPARE, 60 AMP
PCM/VATS, 20 AMP
A/C, 30 AMP
IGN SW, 60AMP
SPARE, 40 AMP
Is the fuse you're looking at a 60 amp? Which is next to a 30 amp fuse on the end? That would be the Horns, Door locks, trunk relay.
Power from there goes to 3 fuses inside the car. So you canr emove those 3 one at at time to see if that cures your drain. You could also remove all 3 and see if your problem is gone, then put them back in one at a time and drive to see if your problem returns. The fuses are IP Junction block, #1 20 amp for door locks, #2 15 amp for RAC/trunk relay, and #3 for Horn 15 amp.
The RAC module appeared here on this fuse for the first time. I assume that means Retained Accessory Power. That's supposed to keep things like radio and interior lights on for about 10 minutes without the ignition on ON or ACC.

located? I am thinking thats it because my wife can drive the car three weeks
and nothing happens but the first time I do, the next day it dead so, she
lingers in it when she parking I don't and it may be related to the resister in
our Keys. also can you tell me how much the draw should be on the Battery
when the car is in sleep mode how many miliamps?
