Check your fuel pressure, and or injectors. You may have too much fuel getting into the engine causing it to burn rich and overheat the converters.

SOURCE: 2002 chevy impala has loss of power. will not go

I would look into the catalytic converter too. I just went through this same symptoms. The engine will sputter and run rough. Drive a few miles at night and see if the front exhaust pipe, right behind the radiator, is glowing. That keyed me in. There is a special service to fix certain models for 01 and 02 which is sort of a recall but not exactly. The dealer just fixed it for free. The chevy customer service number is 1-800-630-2438, they can check and see if you Vin number is on the recall. Your local dealer may not know about it so call the number first and make sure you have the Vin, at least the last 8 of it, when you call.

SOURCE: 2002 chevy s10 2.2l no

The s10 have a fuel shut off relay to shut off fuel supply in case of an accident. They also have a anti-theft system that prevents fuel in case of theft.Pull the fuel line off and crank the engine to see if you get fuel. Sorry I can't be of more help but without hands on vehicle it is hard to tell.Also your fuel pump maybe sounding like it is pumping. In other words it may be running but not pumping fuel it mat have a ruptured diaphragm in the pump.The pump is running but not pumping fuel. Pull the fuel line off at the fuel filter and turn on ignmition or crank the engine you should have about 50PSI coming out.If you don't install new fuel pump.These vehicles are common for this problem the fuel pump runs but does not pump fuel or not enough pressure these vehicle require 57 PSI to start if it has less than 51PSI it will not start unless you use starting fluid then it will run.It will run with less fuel pressure it will just not start with less than 57PSI.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: I have a 2006 impala. On the highway the dinging

Hi stevie, your Impala probably has a defective sensor, often called a "switch" that senses the oil pressure. The oil light and chime is a result from a false signal from the bad sensor.
But one cannot take a chance. If the sensor is acting properly, and pressure is low, it could really damage your engine to have low oil pressure and oil not pumping properly. Have it checked now. A new sensor should cost about 60 dollars & takes only a few minutes to install.

Good luck. i hope this helps. Please rate me a FixYa.

Started running bad when I turned on the heater

misfire can be caused by a few things. weak spark, low fuel pressure, to much fuel, vaccum leak. a simple check on this engine is to remove vaccum line from fuel pressure regulator, on fuel rail, driver side of engine. if you crank engine, and fuel leaks out vaccum port on regulator, its ruptured and causing rich fuel mixture. try that and let me know.

2002 chevy impala having intermitten starting issues

As with any no start issue, someone will have to figure out if you are dealing with a no spark or no fuel problem to proceed.
If you have to rely on a shop they may have to keep the car for a few days to track down the problem.

1995 ford contour cranks but won't start, change fuel filter, fuel pump, and spark plugs. Not getting any spark.

Have you ever heard of testing before replacing parts ? Fuel pressure an flow tesing , testing the electrical circuit for the fuel pump , amp draw testing , voltage drop testing etc... Thier are no magical fixes in auto repair . No spark ! check B+ voltage an ground circuits for the ignition system , Ignition System Designs Operation and Testing an SD Premium video

02 impala sputters

Do you have the 3.4 or 3.8? If its the 3.4, they had issues with the fuel pressure regulators getting funky. I had to replace one on mine twice before the car had 150K.

98 Ford F150 w/4.6l Wont start. Hear fuel pump click. Have pressure on fuel rail. Pulled #1 plug from head and plugged back into wire. Grounded plug and cranked. No spark. Changed wires 4 and 7 four days...

have diagnostic codes checked to see if you have a cam or crank sensor fault. make sure fuel pressure is at the required pressure, just testing to see if you have fuel at the valve is not enough. replace all spark plug wires. if you replaced two then all are just as old and even when they "look good" does not qualify as "they are good". Replace coil pack. start up drive away happy

My 2000 oldsmobile silhouette while driving down

Well you need to do some investigating. You need to determine if it is ignition or fuel causing the problem. The cheapest way it to purchase a fuel injection pressure tester and hook it up leaving the guage where you can easily see it from the drivers seat. Take it for a ride til it acts up and watch the guage. If you lose fuel pressue then you got your issue. If not then you need to start testing individual ignition parts such as the ignition module and crank sensor

Car wants to start but dies immediately. fuel pressure test bad

Couple of things, the fuel pressure held before with the old regulator but now it doesn't. Are you sure you got the tiny o-ring out when you changed it and installed it on the new one? Is there any fuel in the vacuum line to the regulator? Does the white exhaust smell like fuel or coolant burning?
