#21 of 40 Re: High Speed Miss and Check Engine Light [jasper60103] by ytown1 Jan 16, 2008 (4:04 pm)
Replying to: jasper60103 (Jan 16, 2008 9:44 am) Thanks for the info jasper60103. My miss also ended up being a bad coil. But, the light still comes on when you slowing down from above 45 mph. Don't notice any missing and it seems to run fine though, so, I'll just live with it I guess. Tom

I have a 1995 chevy lumina, nothing really pressing going on with it. I just need to know how to replace the tail light bulb? Any who can help? It would be much appreciated. Thanks. Crystal
#23 of 40 2001 Lumina acts like dead battery, but battery is fine by gomacgo Mar 23, 2008 (11:21 am)
We took our 2001 Lumina, V6, out today, parked it, but when I went to restart it... nothing, except the key-in-ignition dinger. And it sounded weak and barely audible. No headlights, no interior lights, or dash lights. Like someone had cut all power from the battery.   I installed a new battery, and the lights worked fine, the dinger was it's usual annoying self, but when I went to start it... nothing, and then it acted like it had before the new battery. It has no security system for the ignition, just the radio.   Anyone know what I'm up against? Wayne

Replying to: smadd38 (May 13, 2008 9:35 am) Open passenger door. On side of dash pull out "Fuse Box" cover. There may be an additional fuse box in the engine compartment. Open hood. Look to your left/middle. There maybe one on the right side as well.   Hope that helps!

Replying to: fsk816 (May 15, 2008 11:02 am) My 2001 did something similar.   I drove it about 5 miles, shut it off, then went to start it about 5 minutes later. Nothing. Like someone had removed the battery! I got a jump, drove it about 2 miles and it died.   Found out it was the positive battery terminal/cable. I don't see how it could be that sporadic, but after the dealership replaced the cable, car has been ok.   Hint: I was SURE I had it tightened when I replaced the battery, but they said it was loose. All I can figure is, I stripped it and the bolt came loose.

Replying to: ppost02 (Jun 07, 2007 8:05 am) I note that the messages above are old. I have a 1999 Lumina and Have- HAD- a similar problem. My neighbor, a mobile mechanic came to me when I was trouble shooting the problem. My problem also included blowing a fuse and a wire getting very hot. When the problem occured I would start the car with a screwdriver at the starter. The mechanic told me Lumina's have problems with the harness at the transmission. I tugged on it and set it a certain way and the problem went away, I mean gone. I looked at the harness connections this past weekend and this is what I found: -There is a wire harness that runs to the transmission with two separate connections. One has around four wires in it and the other has two. The one with the 4 wires were exposed and possibly grounding. I respliced them and taped them up.   Hope this helps.

Replying to: old1960 (Jun 05, 2008 7:43 pm) That sounds good, however, where you also getting a surge and hesitation at higher speeds? Did you get any codes? I have a 1991 Lumina Euro 3.1 and it's driving me nuts. The problem is obviously intermittent, sometimes it's just fine and last week I barely made it off the freeway. I am getting a code 42 which is a short or ground to the EST circuit. Maybe that's the wiring you found. This is great because you know the mechanics would have had me spending $1000.00 before fixing a short. which is 9 times out of 10 the problem.

Replying to: wzbzjmn (Jun 11, 2008 6:47 am) wzbzjmn, I did not have problems with hesitation or surging. The car ran perfect other than the starting problems which was a hastle. Especially in the rain at night. You could also have your ignition module tested at the local auto parts store. This could also be the problem.   Old1960
