Find thesource of the leak. Ask someone with experience.   I assume you have a stick shift. If so check the clutch. If it is an automatic check the transmission!
#130 of 133 3.1 Engine Wont turn over with switch by tlstoner Aug 25, 2009 (5:28 pm)
I got a 1999 lumina 3.1 automatic. Its been running great since we got it about 4 years ago. just normal maintenance, battery, and starter last year. It's got 198,000 miles on it and ran fine until today. Drove to take my daughter to dentist, no problem, got back in to leave and it won't turn over. The dash lights come on, window's work, just won't turn over with the key. I can jump across the solenoid on the starter and it turns over, start's, then dies after about 3 second's. Any advise would be appreciated. Replies to this message: mcdiarmid (Aug 25, 2009 6:30 pm) tlstoner (Aug 25, 2009 6:49 pm)

Replying to: tlstoner (Aug 25, 2009 5:28 pm) It could be your passkey/passlock system. When the key is in the 'On' position, does your security light flash? Replies to this message: tlstoner (Aug 25, 2009 6:49 pm)

Replying to: mcdiarmid (Aug 25, 2009 6:30 pm) Yes the security light is flashing. I didn't notice it earlier. Now how do I fix it?

Replying to: kelly_bear92 (Aug 12, 2009 4:22 pm) well i can tell you right now if you have a coolant leak thats not visible your lookin at a gasket leak becuase i had the same thing and unless you have someone that knows how to take apart an engine and put it back together your looking at alot of money to fix the problem but if you dont fix it it'll get worse over time and your car will lose 99.9% of its balls if it hasn't already. the gasket for a lumina isn't very expensive but it is alot of work you best bet is to get a pressure test to see where the leaks coming from and if it doesn't show anything then your pretty much screw (gaskets)
