Monte Carlo :: 2002 LS Stopped Running When Driving / Power Brakes Stiff
Mar 6, 2012
I have a 2002 monte carlo, driving on the road it stopped running, wouldn't start, when i got it home it started but missing bad, I replaced the plugs and coils, didn't stop, tho one seemed to make it a little better, strangely I have noticed the power brakes don't work anymore, very stiff like standard, so may be connected as happened at the same time, searched for a vacuum line off, don't see one......

I have a 2000 monte carlo ss. A few months ago the check engine light came on, the temp gauge stopped working, and after shutting the car off you can hear the fan running for about 10-15mins after i shut it off. I assumed it was the thermostat, so that was the first thing i changed. For the first few weeks everything seemed fine. No check engine light, temp gauge worked...then today suddenly it all started happening again. What could be causing it if the thermostat has already been changed? what should i try next?

I have a 2002 Monte Carlo SS, I have been having a problem with my turn signals working sometimes. I changed the turn signal switch that worked for a little while but its happening again.

I have a problem on the blower motor and i think its something besides the blower motor going out it works fine most of the time but occasionally it does not come on when this occurs I noticed that the cruise light is flashing in the dash and when this is occurring you can push the on/off switch in the steering wheel and the light does nothing. Now whenever the blower motor works properly everything with the cruise functions properly no light in the dash and when turning on/off switch works properly also no noise coming from blower motor ( bearing ) sounds fine. would a bad BCM cause this or am i looking in wrong direction ???

I was riding my 1985 Monte Carlo SS down I-20 and the engine abruptly shut-off. The radio and all of the lights were still operating. I pulled over to the service lane and waited an hour for a tow truck. While waiting, I was constantly checking to see if the car would start. After an hour, the car started again and I went on my way. I left the car parked for about 5 hours and when I went to start it, the car started right up. After making it about a mile down the road, the engine shut-off again in the turning lane of a busy intersection. I wouldn't start again after that.
I had the car towed 30 miles to my home and left it sitting. I just changed the alternator, spark plugs, spark plug wires and battery, the car still won't start. I used all high-end parts, no cheap stuff. The battery meter is reading low, even with the new battery.
The has an aftermarket UNGO alarm system in it, which is "spidered" into the ignition system. This prohibits power to everything except the lights if the key isn't in the ignition.

I have an 02 Monte Carlo SS. I have an aftermarket remote start on it. While I am driving the security comes on and the headlights flicker for about 2 seconds. Ive never had any problems with the car not starting or the radio locking. Every time i shut the car off it takes about 10-15 minutes for the security light to come on. Car drives fine with the security light on.

About a year ago replaced the switch on drivers side. Both windows worked till about a week ago. This time the switch on drivers side and pass side no longer work either window.
Is there a fuse for the power windows? I looked on both sides of dash and couldnt find any.
Would the switch on drivers side going completely out cause the pass side one to stop working too? Didnt last time.

01 Monte Carlo SS the power door locks do not work - when using the door switches or the key fob. Alarm activates but the doors don't lock. Fuse is good.

A month or so ago my engine light came on with the message "engine power is reduced". well i had it checked out, the code from the engine light suggested a bad throttle body. I then replaced the throttle body myself. (unplugged the throttle body sensor, unscrewed the four bolt holding it on, replaced with new throttle body, and reattached cord to new sensor that was attached to the new throttle body) i then re-learned the idle speed through chevys process on their website. The engine light disappeared and everything was a okay for about a week and a half. then it started doing the same thing again. (engine light came on message appeared, obvious reduction in power from the throttle) It is continuing to get worse and sometimes it will shut off my engine display the message "starting disabled service throttle".
I have been shutting the car off ( if it wasn't already off) and wiggling the wires leading to the sensor attached to the throttle body. i'd then close the hood and start the car and it would act normal (engine light still on) with no reduction in power until the next time (which was usually about 30 driving min later give or take) recently a new symptom popped up when i am going uphill or giving it the beans it'll display the usual engine pwer reduced message and sometimes shut off the car. not only that but if it gives me the message and shuts off if i dont wiggle the wires or something of that nature when i start it the whole car shutters while the rpms go up and down. so did i just get bad luck and buy a faulty throttle body ( i bought i t brand new from o'riellys or however you spell that) .

I have a 95 Monte Carlo LS it has 53,000 miles and When I go to give it gas it hesitates and the rpm goes down and then I let off the gas and do it slowly and its fine. Why this is happening all of a sudden. And my check engine light is on.

1997 Monte Carlo, 3.1 liter, 3rd engine, I have oil in the coolant and it uses 1 qt of oil every 3,00 miles. No smoke from the exhaust. What is causing this???

Turned the key on my 2002 MC SS, V6, 3.8L, and the Intake Manifold exploded.
Intake Manifold Exploding on a GM V6, 3.8L? It sounded like a 12ga shotgun. Fortunately no one was looking into the engine compartment at the time as they likely would have been killed given the amount of shrapnel from this explosion. Note that the explosion was powerful enough to blow off the oil cap, which is screwed on with very thick threads.
The vehicle was at my mechanics at time and in his forty years he's not seen an intake manifold explode save for those residing on Top Fuel or Funny Cars.

I recently (about a year ago) got a 2000 Monte Carlo, great car, runs good, just one issue. Lately, when I accelerate it shakes in the front end, I let off the gas, the shaking stops, some days are worse than others. Some people have told me its the CVS, or the axle, or the motor mounts. Is this common with a 2000.

The car takes off from a stop as it should. However, it shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd gear and that's when it stumbles and doesn't want to accelerate. It'll go if you press pedal at least halfway down. It runs great other than that. It only has 60k.

My 2006 Monte Carlo has been making a strange 'tweet' sound. I only notice it when the car is off. It's just a single 'tweet', a minute or so will pass, then it does it again. What could this be? I'm worried it's something expensive.

I think I've joined the ranks of the no overdrive in our Monte club. Bought the car last summer, 184K on the odometer. Previous owner was original owner. Said trans was always strong. Took the car for a spin Saturday. Previously, no OD issues. It's cold out. Pulled up to a light to get out onto main road. Right turn on red. accelerated normally, but noticed a long hold in 1st before shifting into second. Never saw it before, so was paying attention at the next light, which was right away. Accelerated again, and again a long hesitation going from 1st to second.
Next light is right away again. Light turns green, car shifts normally and I drive it about 10 miles. No issues. I paid particular attention to it going into overdrive, and it did. Arrive a junk yard. Got the part I wanted. Spent about an hour in there. Came back out and started home. Car shifted ok, but did not want to go into overdrive. Thought to myself, well, maybe it's cold. Drove some more. Nope. Never wants to go to overdrive anymore. It does shift from 1-2-3-4 ok. I've heard about the stripped spline in the output shaft, but I was wondering if there is another controller somewhere inside, or outside of the trans that could be causing this issue. When I am in OD and in 4 gear and driving at about 50 MPH and I shift it to D, I feel it shift into 3rd. I plan on getting it diagnosed, but was wondering what you all are thinking.
