First start to check for fuel pressure. It sounds like you have a bum fuel fuel pump. Have some one turn the key and someone else listen nearest the tank to see if they can hear it turn on. Let me know what you find.

My Astra 1.9CDTI SRI went into limp mode about a week ago & we've tried various things & still can't work out what the problem is?

You need to have this diagnosed with a full function scan tool to see what is going on in real time. A factory repair manual is also a must, hit and miss attempts and wasted money and time will not get the vehicle fixed. I would also suggest a new bicycle if this continues.

You need to have your car hooked to a scan tool, it will tell you what the computer thinks the problem is.

Battery light comes on stays on and then the car won't start

You appear to have soaked the abs system sensors in the wheels and shorted them out...A short can take a battery to zero in no time...Check out the car for shorts!

I have a 2004 alero. a few weeks ago it seemed like it was surging? it went away then yesterday it seemed like when I was at a traffic light it wanted to jump right through the light. When I went to pass...

That is so weird, because my 2004 Alero was doing the same thing a few weeks ago. I took it one morning to the auto place because I was really worried, but it didn't do it again while at the shop. It hasn't done it as badly as that one morning, but it occasionally idles a little high. Still haven't been able to figure out way.

Check engine light , check suspension

My towncar is doing the same. It actually started about 6 months ago with the fuel light, which turned out to be no problem, just some air in the line. My air bags did go out last week, so it looks like I have a low rider right now:) I'm in the process of converting from air bags to springs. I had the back airbags replaced but then the dang compressor went out and I don't have the money to replace that. The check air suspension light will stay on right before you have to replace the airbags. Turn your car off then on and if it takes a little while for the light to come back on you have a few weeks to go before it goes out completely. Oh and it is a real easy fix. Its gonna cost about 200 bucks for each airbag, but if you convert it to spring it will cost about 150 in parts.

2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD. CHeck Engine light on and

After market spark plugs could be the problem.
Reinstall the old plugs and see if that fixes it.
This vehicle has an ion sensing ignition system and is real sensitive to the proper spark plugs. I would get the proper plugs from the dealer if the old ones work.
The codes P1311 and P1312 are ion sensing codes.

Oil light flashing, last oil change 7 wks ago

I belive they didn't reset the oil light timer. I belive the sequence is 1. key on (not acc with engine off)
2. step on the brake pedal 5 times within 10 seconds. 3. key off. 4. start car. 5. check if the light went out. you may have to try it a few times to get it.
