No it is not. You need to take it into an authorized dealer to check engine code.

My 1998 Pontiac Transport refuses to start even after 15-20 minutes of running on a recharged battery. What could be the problem??

check the charging system. when car is off voltage at battery should be about 12.6 volts. when running, if alternator and the belts are ok should read 14.2 to 14.7 but heres another way to tell if alternator is ok. unhook negative battery cable from battery while car is running,. if car quits, its the alternator or wiring to it. it will run with cable off of battery if alternator is ok.

1991 Dodge Shadow. When its warmed up and im driving it around, the engine just shuts off. I pull over, try to start it again and it wont turn over. So i wait 5 minutes and it'll start but 5 minutes later...

this is a typical Coolant Temp Sensor issue. the part is about $20 and can be done in a few minutes. I can further help if i knew which engine was in the car.

Key stuck in ignition

Be sure its all the way in park or try neutral.Its possible that security system does not recognize the key. Is security light flashing or on steady? Shut all doors and windows,trunk,hood, turn off all accessory's,roll down drivers window, turn key off and remove for at least 1 minute, insert key into ignition, try to start leaving key to run position for 20 minutes, turn key to off,wait 15 seconds, try to start again leaving key to run, wait 20 minutes, turn key off,wait 15 seconds, try to start, again leaving key to run, wait 20 minutes, turn key off, wait 15 seconds, try to start. This should relearn key code. It may relearn after 1 learn cycle and start if system is ok. Hope this helps and that the weather is dry and warm for this procedure! This is not always a fix, but works most of the time.
