SOURCE: my speedometer is not working and the security

On my '98 Blazer I found that I had this as well as the interior lights not working. I was able to find a 10amp fuse in the underhood fusebox had blown, it was labeled something like Chasis/body. I replaced it and every thing went back to normal, except the Speedo/odometers.

SOURCE: car wont start...sometimes

Sounds like a bad starter solenoid, usually cheapest and easiest to replace the starter and solenoid as a unit. It is always best to check for power between the solenoid and the starter with a test light, if the solenoid clicks but the test light doesn't light up you have found the problem in the solenoid.

SOURCE: 96' sunfire changed engines 2.2 starts dies theft light comes on

The problem is the new PCM you installed does not have the correct VIN number of your car.
You may be able to relearn the VIN using the preceedure below, however, there is no gaurentee it will work. You may have to have a dealer reset the VIN for you by way of a scan tool.

1) Instert key into ignition and rotate to run position (do not try to start engine)
2) Leave the key in the run position for 10 minutes until security light stops flashing.
3) Turn ignition key to off position for 10 seconds ( no more, no less)
4) Turn ignition to run position again for 10 minutes until security light stops flashing and repeat step 3 and 4 for (1) more cycle.

The process is a security verification step for the VTD system. ( Vehicle Theft Deterent)

Give it a try, let me know.
Regards,

Chuggs when starting, sometimes the check enging

Ok, you might want to check your PCV valve, and the tube that runs along with it, because if it has a crack in it, or if the pcv valve is clogged up, alot of times the car will have a chugg when starting....And the Idle will be rough....Um sorry you lost all that money, but sometimes problems are small, but it may seem big..If the scanner is not picking up any codes, its either because your computer is not sending them out,,,( could be a blown ECM fuse) so check them all, Or its a mechanical problem, and not an electrical problem...But double check all your fuses, and that pcv valve, and the tube...Goodluck

My car starts to chugg at a stop sign and engine light goes on now.

You can get a free engine diagnostic at Advanced Auto or Autozone and have them give you a printout. It's very possible that the engine light coming on is the result of a sensor or relay being bad and, in turn, could be causing your car to chugg. Hope this helps.

Check engine light comes on temporarily - engine chuggs at idle

Before changing you pcm try cleaning your egr valve. remove the valve and see if its stuck in the open position if so use a small pick to clean around the spring.
