  5. Power steering belt squealing

    if you have the right belt and its adjusted right then you need to check your pulley alignment. male sure its straight and even with the other pulleys.you may have an issue with your power steering pump. maybe its making too much pressure and the belts slipping . you could check that with a...
  6. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    you need to be sure your getting fuel. pop the fuel line off the rail and crank it for a couple seconds. if you dont get a fuel spray you have a problem.
  7. Timing belt does this really need to be changed?

    when you get it off fold the belt so the teeth are facing you. look at the edges where the teeth meet the belt. they get cracked and dry rotted in there. you wont see that with the belt on.
  8. Power steering belt squealing

    are you sure the belts not wider than the old one ??? where it sits in the pulley ?? check it against the old one. maybe they gave you the wrong belt.
  9. 1G hard starts after hot shutdown

    yup, hot or cold. idling at like 300 rpm for a few seconds. i would have to rev it a bit to get it to clear up.
  10. Can't connect to ECU using OBD with flashed 98 ECU in 97.

    im pretty sure that you need the correct year pcm in these cars. especially late 90,s and up.
  11. Lost Power steering and alternator belt

    anytime you lose 1 belt theres always the chance it will take out the other one. if you lose the belt on the inside it has nowhere to go but get caught under the other belt.check your pulleys as someone already suggested, also make sure your alternator bushings arent bad. if the alternator is...
  12. Bad MT transmission mount?

    if its clunking on acceleration that could be it.
  13. 1G hard starts after hot shutdown

    mine was doing the same thing. i replaced the fuel filter. it was full of junk. been fine ever since.
  14. Knock Sensor Pigtail for Harness

    you could make your own with some connectors and some solder.
  15. Blown Left Signal Light Fuse

    sounds like you have a short. make sure the sockets are good and they didnt melt.
  16. ignition control module location

    did you make sure the timing belt isnt broken ??? if the cams dont turn you have no spark.
  17. Changed struts now wobbling noise in front

    a bad cv joint can cause wobbling. if its dry or has dirt in it. i would pull that axle out and check it.
  18. Lite grinding from between engine/transmission

    are you sure its in the trans and not the engine ?? maybe an idler pulley or tensioner pulley ??
  19. Slight over heating

    your radiator might be restricted. you need to warm the car up and check for even temperature across the radiator. any cold spots and you have a restriction. i use a digital temp gun.
  20. Idle all over the place

    mine was doing the same thing. the thermostat was bad, stuck open. if the engine never get's up to temp it will fast idle.
  21. 1st gear grinds unless at complete stop and Reverse is hard to get into

    make sure you shifter bushing's aren't worn out. does the shifter feel loose at all ???
  22. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    i second this. make sure the fans are running.
  23. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    a water pump wont fail intermittently. make sure your cooling fan's are working.
  24. 2.5" muffler on 3" straight pipe. performance loss?

    you wont notice the difference. on a dyno you might see a tiny difference. but maybe not.
  25. no starter engagement after act flywheel install

    search the trans part number here or on google. you should be able to find some info.your missing something, you have the wrong trans or flywheel. you need to know what part number trans the car came with and flywheel. or your starter is junk.
  26. Look what I found lodged into my spark plug

    that looks like a piece of a piston. as long as it runs fine i wouldnt worry. but eventually youll have a problem. and if that things been floating around in there the cylinder wall might not be ok.i would drive it till it goes. then think about a rebuild or a rebuilt engine.
  27. Look what I found lodged into my spark plug

    this is probably what it is. a piece of piston. compression wouldnt change much if theres no hole.does the car ping ??? do you ever hear any pinging when you get on it ??? do you run 87 octane gas ???
  28. DSM vs SRT 4 vs Cobalt SS

    i've owned all 3. the cobalt was supercharged.while the srt4 isnt awd, the engine in that car can make huge power, and its super reliable.i would buy another srt4, i probably wouldnt buy another cobalt.
  29. car still wont start

    well like someone else said, you cant have fuel compression and spark.you may have fuel but do you have enough pressure ???you may have spark but is there enough Kv ???you need a fuel pressure gauge and something to make sure your spark is hot enough.

    i didnt know what area to put this in. i figured this was ok.so at work today we get a not sure what year stealth towed in. white, non turbo automatic. the guy who had it towed in used to be the service manager next door at the chevy dealer. so it gets towed in with this looooong note with...
