I have a Pontiac 2006 Torrent, my problem is when I start the car it will keeping turning over until I press some gas then it will run...why is it that I have to do that every time? some days it will start on its own, but most of the time pretty much 95% of the the time I have to press the gas to get it to run completely. HELP please. Thanks

Hi, i know that the link is about a different car type then yours, but the principles are the same.

Remove battery

Then place your new battery, connect it & test that it's working.
If your radio is working, write down it's security code.

Hope this helps you,
Eitan.

They pull off just like any other vehicle, unless you live in an area where they use salt. Brake and suspension parts on these rust and sieze quickly. Soak with penetrating oil and keep tapping around perimiter. I do this for a living, and I've had Torrent drums take me hours to break loose (I'm surprised the wheels even came off)

The factory alarm is not to be tampered with as you can reset it but not disconnect it as it's part of the main fuel injection system. Do you have the right key? Just because it turns and cranks doesn't mean it has the right code. the security light off with the key on ut not cranking? If it stays on you do have a security problem. The system can be reset ( if the battery is good, and hot. Trun the key to crank and letgo the security light will but on or blinking . Leave the key on till the light goes out (around 15 minutes. Once it's out turn the key off then back on and the security light will be back on again. again wait till it goes out turn off then on again till the light goes out. Now turn the key off wait a few seconds trun it on and crank the engine. If it starts then it's reset. Sometimes I've had to do this more than three times to get it to reconize the key as the right one. rember a store cut key won't ever work as it doesnt have the (brain in it the the factory key does. Lets say your wrong, about the security system. The fuel pumps go bad like crazy and its thier season to fail. They fail quicker if you $5 the car alot. (runing on empty) Was the check engine light on as it ran the last time it was running? If so the codes need to be retieved and repaired. A scanner will find the security enabled on too.

your air damper or diverter may not be working.this is basically a mechanism that opens a flap by your heater core to control the amount of hot air that comes out.There is a rod that this flapper pivots on and if this rod is broken or the motor that operates it is not working you will either have heat all the time or no heat at all depending on which position it broke at.I know because my torrent has the same problem.To fix my problem they have to remove the dashboard to access the heater core which amounts to major $$$. I hope your problem is an easier fix. good luck

I see no commentary regarding how you do turn the Headlights OFF.

Are you aware that there is a time-delay in all GM vehicles that retains Headlight Power for a period of time. Typically this is approximately 2 minutes after Exiting and Locking the Vehicle. Check your Owners Manual and it should explain the operation of the Headlights.

It may be possible that you have a Relay whose contacts have Welded themselves closed.

If you are in doubt, take your vehicle to a certified mechanic and have it checked out professionally. Many independent shops specialize in electrical and drive ability problems.
