SOURCE: 2002 olds alero wont start not security problem

You will have to see if you have spark and gas first of all. When you first turn the key to "on", you should be able to hear the fuel pump cut in for just a couple of seconds. If it doesn't, check fuses and relays. If they are okay check to see if there is power at the fuel pump. If there is, you need to change the fuel pump.
Get a timing light and hook it to any spark plug wire, and see if you have spark. If you don't, first, i would check the timing belt. If it's okay, try changing the ignition coil pack.
Let me know how you make out when you get that far.

there is a plastic clip that connects the clutch pedal to the rod that goes to the master cylinder, chances are that it let go. Bad thing is that it is only available from GM along with the rod. It is around 50

2001 Oldsmobile Alero. How to change the head gasket on it please?

Can I replace a head gasket myself?

Head gasket replacement is not a job for the average do-it-yourselfer. While a head gasket expiring due to old age is rare, it usually means everything else is worn out to the point of replacement as well. Cracking the head off the engine and peering inside may reveal that everything else got fully cooked, too.

the statement is correct and the reason will be over pressure in the cooling system or boiling off the coolant. If you have a viscous fan hub then the hub will need replacing.

2002 seabring wont start

If it ran when it went in there, it should run when it comes out but start at the basics, fuel make sure you have fuel pressure in the fuel rail port, then make sure that you have spark, if you have both then check engine timing belt alignment.
