Sounds as if you are having fuel injector problems . Try putting in high octane gas and then some fuel Injection cleaner run it for awhile and see if it straightens out some . It could also be a injector pump . It may also need tune up plugs and plug wires new rotor and rotor cap . You may need a tune up badly also check your intake air cleaner ect

SOURCE: 2000 chevy lumina. Is fan supposed to come on when car started

no fan comes on when engine cold start up .but it will come on when you turn on air conditioning or defrost on .if engine idling a while when temp get 190 degree the fan will kick on.if over heating you got air in system .wait until cools check coolant add more .crank engine let it idle few. minutes when start warming up turn off engine wait a while before removing radiator cap so you wont get scald.add more coolant .crank it again starting warming up turn off engine wait a while .add coolant .keep doing this procedure until your coolant stop dropping off .if you do this more than 6 times you got a leak some where.check crank level for signs.if oil level higher than normal.if everything looking good.when engine cool make sure add coolant to over flow jug cold level mark.

SOURCE: replacing lower intake manifold gasket on a 95

there are many details to this job. i just did mine a few months ago. the best thing to do is go to any auto parts store and buy a haynes manual, they are based on a complete teardown of vehicle.this book will tell how to do the job. the books are only 20.00, or less.

My renault megane diesel had a humbing noise coming from the motor, then a lot of smoke appeared

check your turbo again. also check whether the waste gate valve is working by testing it with vacuum tester.Or check if any flex hose on turbo or inlet manifold has not cracked or sheared and cause a leak and that is why you might have low power with lots of smoke.

Was driving down son's dirt road driveway returning home at low speed in 2nd gear in my 1997 sunfire when it suddenly started running rough with no power. it will start right up and idle is rough but...

Sure sounds like a typical case of dirty/contaminated fuel....or a broken vacumn supply hose around the intake manifold area, in neutral let it idl;e and look and listen for a hissing sound, or a broken black rubber hose.
Also have the computer scanned for any possible codes.
Another thing to look at is the catalyctic converter, put a vac. gauge on the engine and see if the vac drops to almost zero...indicating a plugged cat.

Overheated , now a leak, dead battery, intake gasket, !!!

Could be the intake manifold gasket leak is upsetting the manifold vacumn which in turn will have an effect on the idling adjustments. The extra drag of the Auto Trans wnen engaged may cause the engine to 'cut-out'. Fix the manifold gasket first, re-adjust the idle, then see what you find.

1992 lumina apv smells hot, does not register hot

White smoke means water/antifreeze entering the combustion chamber(s) or intake passages. Suspect a gasket leak somewhere (tighten all intake manifold nuts and bolts). Check all radiator and heater hoses for leakage and hose condition.

1990 Lumina running roung, power loss rough idle

On the chevy v6 engines it real comon to have intake leaks.I would try spraing carb cleaner around the intake while the car is running and see if it changes the way it runs.If it does that is your problem.If the intake has a leak it will **** extra air in and cause a missfire.
