SOURCE: 2001 oldsmobile alero

If the "check engine" or "service engine soon" light is flashing, it could be the engine is miss firing. This could be caused by a bad spark plug wire or spark plug. How old are they? After changing the plugs on my 2001 Olds Alero (at 125k miles) I noticed the engine occasionally miss fired and the "service engine soon" light started blinking. I used a timing light to determine which cylinder was miss firing and changed that spark plug wire. Advise would be to change the whole ignition wire set, but I was cheap and just changed the one wire, which cost $23 from a GM dealer. That was 14 months ago and the car runs great.

SOURCE: 2001 oldsmobile alero window off track,

first remove the door panel there are three screws that need to be removed first 2 under the inside door handle and 1 on the lower left hand side behind a reflector then pull off the panel it will be held on by push clips, once inside move the plastic weather bearrer to the side ,run the window half way down you should see 2 window holding brackets pull the window up so you can drop it in the brackets, first get some black window adhesive fill the brackets with adhesive put window in brackets and roll it up and leave it up for 24 hrs.If the brackets are broken you will have to replace the whole window motor assemly which you can get on line for 89.00 not the 250.00 at dealer and you can install it yourself its easy to do.

use a scanner to check the abs system . most of the time the abs brakes and traction control system work together. your cruise control . unit has a servo motor .in front right fender well. check the fuse and relay also the cruise control brake release switch. and the brake light switch.if all is good you have a cruise control module problems. dealer ship job.

SOURCE: 1999 olds alero 2.4 idles rough and stalls when

When did you last change the spark plugs, distributor cap, ignition wires, ignition coil, fuel filter, or the fuel pump? Any one of these could causing your care to stall. Also, have you been using regular gas or premium as premium gas can cause your engine to not combust properly if it wasn't designed for premium

I have 1999 Oldsmobile alero. Tracoff light and service engine on. Took it to auto zone code default said injector 3 misfiring cleaned all injectors still runs rough and lights are on . is there anyway to...

I doubt the problem is anything connected to the ABS.
Depending on the actual code, cylinder 3 could be a spark plug or coil problem, or compression problem. If the check engine light comes on, the trac off does too.

1999 Alero stalling and trac off light coming on

does the rpm motor kick down? you may need to check your vacuum hoses, and also you may want to check your exaust, sounds wierd but that can cause the car to stall at times.as for the traction light, your hitting the brakes to hard. try slowing down a little slower while stopping, and keep distance for saftey.. if you can take it a little slower at lights and turns, without braking hard and it stops stalling.

2002 Alero shifting hard

I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero and my car was running rough and stalling. Also when the car was shifting, it was making a "thud" sound. My service engine light was on, so I took it to Autozone to run their diagnostic tool. It came back with code P0108 and they advised me to check my vacuum hoses as a possible solution. I looked and found that my air hose running from my throttle body to my map sensor was disconnected. I reconnected the hose and the engine ran normally and didn't make any "thud" sound when shifting. My car is back to normal. So check your hoses. If its still running rough, you may need to replace your map sensor.
