Have the battery load tested, it may have a cell that is failing. Autozone and Sams club and Oriley auto parts do this testing for free.

SOURCE: 1997 Chevy Cavalier intermittent starting

I had the exact same problem on my 1998 Chevrolet 1500 c/k pickup. I also tried a new starter motor and solenoid assembly, but to no avail.

After weeks of searching for the problem, I found that corrosion had built up between the car battery terminals and the power cables extended from the car battery to the starter motor. I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it's worth a try. Also, check all other electrical connections, because these types of intermittent problems are often electrical.

Have the vehicle scanned. If you have a code in the computer for maximum adapt/ long shift, replace the EPC pressure control solenoid. This a real common problem on the 4t65e transmission.

What does low oil pressure on 2008 Chevy Impala 3.5 V6 LS

Do you mean what causes low oil pressure? This is a very reliable engine for the most part. If the oil light is on or gauge is reading low, have the oil pressure sensor inspected for failure. These sensors do go bad.

After leaving folks house for Thanksgiving check engine light came on in my 2008 Chevy impala parked the car this morning car wont start and key stuck any ideas on issues and what to do?

Low battery, bad alternator. GM's, you can put the key in, but if you don't have around 7 volts, the key won't come out. M guess is battery.

Seems to me that you may be having an issue with your climate control blend door. It maybe getting stuck with something in its way or you may have a bad blend door actuator.

The last couple of week the gages somtime will not work somtime its all of them sometimes its only the speedometor. Now it will not start is a 2008 chevy impala ss

Sounds like a power loss issue than a gauge problem if all are cutting out and especially if you can't start. This could be numerous things but off the top of my head I'd say you either have a short to the computer, computer dying or bad ASD relay but might be called something else on that car, like MFI relay that shuts everything down. Only other things I would relate to this and usually causes stalling is the crank and cam shaft sensors. They don't give a signal car dies and/or car wont start. Does your check engine light come on when you turn the key to ON (not starting)? If it doesn't come on for the 3 seconds then you computer has no power, shorted out or dead.
