I had the same issue with my 2001 impala not having any power...mine was the cat. convertor also but after I paid to have it fixed I went thru my glovebox & found a recall letter that I got years ago. If I would have read it first it would have been a free fix. I think as long as less than 120,000 miles on the car it would be done for free. You may want to call GM if you don't have this recall letter.

We have a 2001 Chevy Impala as well.  About 3 months ago, we encountered the same symptoms.  The catalytic converter was bad and had to be changed out.  The cost, for a universal catalytic converter, was about $300 but this fixed the problem.  I hope this helps.

How do i reset the (tire low air pressure) warning light.I had a flat fixed and the light is still on.

On a 2002 Impala, the tire pressure monitor can be reset using the interrior light switch.
With the key in the "ON" position, turn the interrior lamps from OFF to ON three times within 3 seconds. The TPMS light should go out. If it does not go out, repeat the procedure. If it still does not go out, then you may need to have your tire monitoring system diagnosed and repaired.

Low tire pressure light wont go out

The Low Tire Pressure Indicator must be reset using the Radio. This can only be performed if you have the factory radio installed in the vehicle. This vehicle does not come with an active tire pressure management system, and as such, this light must be reset manually.
1.) Turn Radio Off 2.) Hold down disp button for 10 seconds 3.) Setup Menu should display 4.) Scroll through menu to view "Tire Pressure" (use seek buttons) 5.) Select the Tire Pressure option (Press Radio Button 1) 6.) Reset should be displayed on screen (Press disp button) 7.) Tire Pressure Light should reset

2001 Impala TPMS reset, radio and headlight options DONT WORK

CHEVY IMPALA &
MONTE CARLO

On a Chevy Impala or Monte Carlo with indirect TPMS, a totally different reset procedure is required. You can use the light switch or radio to reset the system. With the light switch procedure, turn the ignition on (engine off), the turn the light switch from OFF to parking lamps three times within five seconds. With the radio technique, turn the ignition on (engine off). With the radio off, hold the DISP button until “SETTINGS” is displayed. Use the SEEK button to scroll down the menu until you see “TIRE MON.” Press the PREV or NEXT buttons until “RESET” is displayed. Then press the DISP button again.

Use the SEEK button to scroll through the menu until “DONE” is shown, then press DISP once more to exit from the learn mode.

RESET THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND UNLOCK A RADIO?

Take the radio to your GM dealer and go to the service department. They will be able to figure out the unlock code in less then 5 minutes and, at least when I had them do it, didn't charge me a dime.

Good Luck

Tire pressure sensor stuck on

The tire senser can be reset with a skanner that most trie stores should do for free. You deck instaler may have unplugged the passager air bag, shame on them. Your deck man may have caused the other problems too and it may not have the tire moniter without the stock radio.

2003 chevy impala low air pressure message light stays on how do i re program it?

If by low air air pressure, you mean the tire pressure sensor, here is the way to reset.
To reset (calibrate) the system: The tire pressure
monitor system can be reset two ways. With the ignition position at ON, pull the interior lamps control to the ON and OFF settings three times. It can also be reset through the radio using the
following steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON and turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold the TUNE DlSP button on the radio for at least five seconds until SETTINGS is displayed.
3. Press the SEEK SCAN up or down arrow to scroll through the main menu.
4. Scroll until TIRE MON appears on the display.
5. Press the 1 PREV or 2 NEXT button to enter the submenu. RESET will be displayed.
6. Press the TUNE DlSP button to reset. A chime will be heard to verify the new setting and DONE will be displayed for one second.
7. Once the monitor has been reset, scroll until EXIT appears on the display.
8. Press the TUNE DlSP button to exit programming. A chime will be heard to verify exit.

The system completes the calibration process during
driving. The system normally takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving
in each of three speed ranges to "learn" tire pressures. The speed ranges are 15 to 40 mph (25 to 65 km/h), 40 to 65 mph (65 to 105 km/h) and above 65 mph (105 km/h). When learning is complete, the system will alert you after two to eight minutes if a tire is 12 psi (83 kPa) different from the other three tires. Detection thresholds may be higher and detection times may
be longer on rough roads, curves and at high speeds. The system is not capable of detection at speeds greater than 70 mph (110 km/h).

Almost all of the message center items are accessed through the menu on the radio. You should be able to find what you need be getting in the menu and looking around. Hope this is what you were looking for?
