#737 of 849 Surging and idol woes!! by andykkron Apr 27, 2006 (8:17 pm)
Replying to: sirius2 (Apr 01, 2006 1:27 pm) I have a 94' Lumina Euro with apprx. 287,000 miles on original motor. The only work I have ever done to the engine is a new alternator. It has come down with a cold though I think. It is surging alot during idol and and stop lights but as soon as I am on the gas it runs great. I have changed about everything I can think of. Is there anything that I might be missing that you guys know about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bought it brand new in 94 and aint ready to say goodbye to her yet. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: jcaruso1 (Apr 27, 2006 7:55 pm) My son and I replaced his not too long ago and the easiest way I find is to take a crescent wrench on the tensioner pulley and And hold it tight while you take the belt off. Dont lose your grip or you WILL have busted knuckles.LOL. Make sure you see how it comes off as you will be putting it back on the same way. There should be a diagram on the belt guard that shows you how it goes. Good luck. SAC P.S. There is a square slot on the front of the pulley for the wrench

Replying to: winch (May 19, 2006 10:02 pm) Did you buy a rebuilt alt. ? Still could be alt. Or loose connection somewhere. When my alt. went out the lights and everything started going dim then quit. Just a thought. Dont know about fusible link. SAC

It was telling the computer the engine was cold so it was feeding it too much gas. Very hard problem to find without a scanner. Might help. Sensor is by the thermostat at end of radiator hose. Autozone 13 bucks. Hope it helps SAC
#742 of 849 DRL's not working by 062458 May 28, 2006 (9:11 am)
97 Lumina DRL's not working. All other lights work as well as the automatic lighs on at dusk, turn signals, etc. I'm wondering if its the DRL module that needs replacing, or is there another relay that mya be preventing them from working. Is there a fuse located under the hood? The fuse in the interior fuse box appears to be good.   Thanks
#743 of 849 A/C problem by cindy80 Jul 09, 2006 (9:50 am)
I just bought a 95 Lumina. The a/c compressor will come on. The blower works. But there are two problems. 1) Going up hills or merging into traffic the air will stop blowing out the vents or defrost vent (blower still running). Have checked vacuum lines and did not find any leaks. 2) While parked or driving cool (not cold) air comes from the two a/c vents on the drivers side while hot air comes from the two on the passenger side.The car DOES NOT have the controls to adjust the temp on drivers/passenger side.    Pulled the glove box while checking the vac lines. There is a box about 8" long with an electrical connector and an assembly of vac lines on the bottom. Disconnected the connector and no air would blow from any vent (blower still running). Disconnected the vac line assembly with same results. Can not remove each line because they are all made into an assembly. My thinking is that this box is bad but what is it?    Can anyone help? Thanks,Cindy.

Replying to: mconner (Sep 14, 2005 10:03 am) I recently lost the keys to my 1995 lumina. I had a new ignition put in and I had the V.A.T. number put into the keys that came with the ignition and it still won't start. What can I do.

Replying to: hazardgirl24 (Jul 11, 2006 8:52 am) Are you sure its from the keys? It may be from the ignition . Have them check the wiring to make sure they got everything right. also have them check the ignition switch. Not the tumbler but the switch. If the contacts are bad it wont start either. You didnt say whether it is turning over and not starting or not doing anything. If its not doing anything check the ground from the battery also. Good luck SAC Replies to this message: duece69 (Jan 28, 2008 12:15 pm)
#746 of 849 creaking noise by petras2 Jul 12, 2006 (9:45 am)
i've noticed a "creaking" noise on my 98' 3.1 lumina just past the gas and brake pedals on the other side of the floorboard...it is most noticeable when lightly tapping the accelerator pedal or suddenly backing off the accelerator pedal when going staight ahead or in a turn... it may be originating in or around the steering gearbox...otherwise the steering and suspension seem fine...any ideas? thanks...
