It is possible that you picked up a rock in the tire tread or hub cap. Does the noise slow down when you slow down?

This code is when two cylinders misfire two causes bad plug or bad coil you can go to a parts house like autozone or one like this get codes read for free Good Luck Mike L.

4 engines non told, (it tells tranny that is there) I assume shift links not bad PRNDL, but if P works and D so must R a/t box 4T45e I guess. or 6T40 or 6t is six speeds.

1. check fuses.
2. scan the PCm for P0700 errors for tranny
3. check line pressure per service manual I have it. can tell it but takes 400 psi gauge, but here is spec for Reverse.
4. vac port at 0hg vac, 255 psi min.
5. vac port to 19inches HG, port main 74min.
6. these modern trannys have pressure regulator. that can be bad but gee the scans tell you that if true, not scanning is why you miss all that and tons more. From ATSG manual, 4T45e

here is DTC list, and more ,scan first, or go broke guessing. DTC P0218 DTC P0562 or P0563 2.4L L4 VIN B Automatic 3.5L V6 VIN K Automatic 3.9L V6 VIN 1 Automatic 3.6L V6 VIN 7 Automatic 3.5L V6 VIN N Automatic DTC P0601-P0604 or P062F DTC P0705 DTC P0711-P0713 DTC P0716 or P0717 DTC P0722 or P0723 DTC P0741 or P0742 DTC P0751 or P0752 DTC P0756 or P0757 DTC P0815, P0816, or P0826 DTC P0842 or P0843 DTC P0851 or P0852 DTC P0961 DTC P0973 or P0974 DTC P0976 or P0977 DTC P150C DTC P1750 DTC P1810, P1816, or P1818 DTC P1811 DTC P1876 or P1877 DTC P2534 DTC P2763 or P2764

All in this link. Very often you can get part wiring diagrams for free, but full wiring diagrams always have a cost, in this case $19. https://www.google.com/search?q=1973+pontiac+ventura+wiring+diagram ..

I have never known an ignition coil system that has a wire to connect to Bluetooth. There is a video here https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+pontiac+g6+replace+coil+pack Wiring diagrams https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+pontiac+g6+coil+pack+wiring+diagram ..

Hi, Please check within the transmission near the valve body assembly. This is where the shift solenoids should be. Thank you.

My truck will do this with a mis-programmed key. The mechanical key lets the ignition switch turn, then the detector shuts off the engine in a couple of seconds. David

have vehicle scanned --even if no trouble /check engine light lit if their is a pending code cruise will not work other is bad control switch or relay

same on all cars. 1: remove neg lug of main 12vdc car battery ,first. 2:gain access to the starter.<<< some cars not easy. 3: if heat shield there ,unbolt that. 4: remove all wires on stater, tag them for location 5: unbolt starter to put it back , reverse the list or read the manual. https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Locate the starter motor. Remove/disconnect the two wires. Using a suitable sized socket spanner and ratchet, remove the fixing bolt/nuts. Refitting is the reverse.

That's not the way that you do it. You remove the AC compressor and install a Bypass Pulley in its place. The belt and routing remain the same. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Pontiac+Torrent%2C+AC+bypass+pulley ..

Check for a vacuum leak around the intake . https://tuningpro.co/gm-chevy-2-2-ecotec-engine-problems/

the IMMO can not be defeated,(BY DESIGN) but there might be hacks or that, ,that old, googling finds hacks we have no hacking forums here. the A#1 prime purpose of IMMO is not block all hacking that is what it does and does so super well. in fact right now there is class action lawsuit. KIA???? for there new cars have no IMMO and is a being stolen right and left. so it is a brave new world that. rule #2 is never have only 1working key to start the engine, rule #3 any fobs bad see if it has battery ? if yes they do not last 27y the service manual covers all this read it yet :?> the engine does not run and stay running , right?? scan tools do not work on 1995 cars, 99.9% or just a door lock prob;em and dead battery inside keyfob. or lost the 2nd key the car came with new/? there are SB (service bulletins on this topic) IMMO. KEY fails. all fuses good, battery charged in car 12vdc. then IMMO blinks right.? means IMMO NOT HAPPY AT ALL. this bulletin is being issued to revise the Pass-Key ll, Universal Theft Deterrent System Symptom Table on pages 9D-10 (1993-94) and 8A-133-6 (1995) in the Service Manual. the Symptom Table has been changed to re-order procedures when diagnosing the condition: SECURITY Indicator ON steady (not flashing); engine starts. Diagnosing this condition should start with Chart #5 first to diagnose the Lock Cylinder and wiring. If OK, go to Chart #3 to check the Theft Deterrent Module and wiring. These steps will save time by accessing easy to reach components first. Please use the attached page to replace the existing page in the affected Service Manuals. there are 7 SB on key problems,. so have fun with that the lamp acts in 3 or 4 ways, each way has cure. read the manual? https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

How do you know it's overheating ? What are you going by to say that ? Temp. gauge in the instrument cluster ? Did you hook up a scan tool to see what the coolant temp sensor is telling the PCM/ECM -engine computer? what the real temp of the engine is.Or use a Infrared Thermometer to test at the upper radiator hose. Is the check engine light on ? Check for codes in the computers . GM had instrument cluster gauge problems 2003 to 2007 . stepper motors control the movement of the gauge needles, they had bad stepper motors those years. Sent out bunches of clusters for repair for that problem .Customers thought their vehicle was overheating but wasn't. So if your going by just the temp gauge saying that you need to have a qualified repair shop check it .
