Switch the suspected coil with another cylinder and retest. Clear the codes and test drive, if the cyl. misfire code changes to the new location, it's the coil, if it doesn't, it could be a fuel injector problem, low compression problem, vacuum leak, etc

Any dash light that comes on after the motor is running or your moving, is a vehicle fault & you check for codes,diagnose them,find a problem & resolve it We have been doing that for 35 years,nothing new there Trac Control is embedded into the ABS Braking System It needs to be fixed, so to speak,you have a problem

There should be ground wires going to the transmission. Check these. loose connections at the bolts and bad wires. Just a note. these wires come from the engine control module, which controls all you are talking about.

Other than take to a repair shop ? Have to check for OBD Codes & diagnose them Nothing you can do

Engine light, take it to an auto parts store & have it scanned for codes. Timing belt about every 30,000 mi. How, put a floor jack under the engine, take off front motor mount, take off the crank pulley & anything else thats in the way, take timing cover off, loosen tensioner, keep marks lined up & replace belt.

Sounds like a plugged gas filter to me.

Did you do the ignition switch recall, that got lots of attention this past summer

2.2 or 2.4. The eighth digit on the VIN number will tell the size. There should also be a sticker around the engine on the body that will say. Call any parts store with the eighth digit and they will tell your.

what guide are you talking about specifically? do you mean the tension roller?

It may be a bad speed sensor doing this. your best bet is to take it to a dealer and get it scanned for a problem. or call them, maybe they can tell you whats wrong with the car.

Still sounds like 'limb mode' to me, but that should trigger some engine-warning light on the dashboard (and definitely internal error codes). The dashboard-light could be broken ofcourse. Would suggest taking it to a dealer for OBD-diagnostics (i.e. reading the internal error codes), that should be a good start. Guessing what it could be: (MAF, O2) sensors, injectors, overheating (fan not spinning up when need ?), bad fuel, throttle-body, old fluids / oil, clogged fuel / air filters ...

it's recalled, what , you dont watch TV?, (id dont either) but do read WSJ.com and GM has recalled massive cars. for bad ignition switch. (using insane heavy key chains is true cause, not GM, IMO) get it fixed for free, heck even other thinks related for free, as they dont want any lawsuits. related to ENGINE DIES> and AIR BAGS DIES> go get em.

do you mean it will shut off or just low power? it could be your cat converter cloging up or coming apart.if cel is not on you should still have it scanned. it could have a pending code that will solve your problem.

Get a can of 134 with the hose and valve on it at walmart and it will only fit on the proper one. You cant mess up. Read the can and charge the system. I like the artic freeze myself.
