1999 Pontiac Montana Questions & Answers
The bolt that holds the
Hi, if it's just the bolt, replace it. If it's the bolt hole, it will have to be drilled and tapped for a larger size bolt. Select a slightly larger (thicker) bolt and get/borrow a tap and drill for that bolt. If you haven't used a tap before, have it done by someone that has experience. If you aren't good with a tap, you can get yourself into a lot of trouble by breaking the tap off in the hole. I've been there and it isn't habit-forming. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.
Beeps while driving
My van did this aswell, you must have a power sliding door, when it is not latched properly this warning goes off but it won't say on your message center "door ajar". Stop and reopen the door and close it again no more bell. good luck.
I need to change the tension pulley on a 99
There should only be 1 bolt holding the arm in place and it should be accessible from the top side. Not exactly an easy process but doable.
Here's a video of process. Can't see a lot because of the camera angle and the confined area, but it should give you a general idea.
You can skip to approx. 6:20 to get to the actual extraction and 7:35 for the replacement if you don't want to hear all the general rambling.
Hope this helps.
Eng cuts out as RPM raises
More likely a fuel system problem starving the engine - particularly the fuel pump. Check the whole system (lines, pump, filter, fuel pressure, etc.).
Where is bleeder on Vw-Audi 4 cyl-1800 engine
get a pressure test on radiator via a radiator cap that has a pressure gauge with the engine running . The head gasket is probably blown on the engine and this can cause exhaust pressure to go into the cooling system and create this symptom you are experiencing.
you may also have more expensive problems like a warped head or cracked head . $$$$$ - remachining or welding and remachining of engine head and a blown gasket .
My 1999 Pontiac Montana starts fine, and then sometimes dies
The starting /keep running issue is probably a slow IAC (idle air control)Next time turn the key on,wait 3 or 4 seconds then start,if it keeps running after that wait time everytime,it most likely is the IAC,,,,,,no big deal.
How long does the van sit when it has a dead battery?

Why aren't parking lights working?
Park lamp fuse 20amp located in the under hood fuse box .DRL control module
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Control Module
Right of the steering column, behind the IP
Park, Sidemarker, Tail and License Lamps
Voltage is applied continuously to the PARK fuse to the headlamp and the instrument panel (IP) lamp dimmer switch through CKT 1340.
When the headlamp and the (IP) lamp dimmer switch is in the PARK or HEAD position, voltage is applied to CKT 9 thus activating the following lamps:
• The park lamps
• The side marker lamps
• The tail lamps
• The license lamps
The park/turn lamps are the only lamps that do not activate yet receive a current from CKT 9. The park/turn lamps do not activate because the voltage drop across the front side marker lamps is much higher than that across the turn lamp filaments

What kind of transmission fluid goes in a 1999
Recommended GM DEXRON® VI, Low viscosity transmission fluid.
Note: make sure you don't over fill transmission and the Montana's transmission are know for failures due to high fluid retention caused by high viscosity transmission fluid from additives or dirty transmission oil and filter.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck.
