2006 Chevrolet Uplander - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have chevy uplander 2006. the speedometer quit working. then I have had trouble with the tranny doesn't want to shift, if I stop and restart engine it helps
Hi. I read your request and it isn't possible for me to tell you what your car needs from your description. Your vehicle is 12yrs old and if it has around 200K miles on it. It may be time for a replacement transmission. This suggestion is based on average transmission life span for a Uplander. The life of the drive line can be greatly extended with consistent, on-time preventive maintenance. Does this apply to you? How is your transmission maintenance history? Is the fluid the proper level and red in color? has the engine turned on or started flashing at all? If so have you had any of the codes read? Please have the codes read if this applies. This situation usually requires diagnostics to find out what is wrong with your car's transmission and speedometer. Shutting the engine off and restarting it may help but issn't enough for a diagnosis. The speedometer also requires diagnostics. With this issue more than likely the fault will either be a bad output speed sensor, broken wire, corrosion on plug/terminal or the gauge cluster itself will need to sent out for repair or be replaced. Please write back and give some back ground on your experience and tools you might have for performing diagnostics. For example line pressure and a multimeter to look at wiring and circuit operation.
Firing ORDER FOR THE 2006 chevy Uplander Van 6
There are 2 6 cylinder engines for that year. Both are the same as far as wiring/firing order but gave you both anyway(see below). There have been times that I thought I did the same thing as far as the firing order and have been doing it for 25+ years. Sometime i did and sometimes I didn't. So if you find the wiring is correct and you seem to have a miss, In about 90 percent of the time that this has happened to me I had knock a vacuum hose off so you might want to start there if they are right. It sure sounded like a miss at those times but was vacuum. There are other factors but that's where I would start if this is the case. I hope this helps and good luck.
I have a Chevy 2006 Uplander when I put it in gear it shakes
Can you elaborate on the shake? A "Shake" could be low idle, vacuum leak, low fuel pressure, timing, misfire, cylinder compression, torque converter clutch or another engine or transmission related failure. How does the vehicle idle and rev in park? Is the engine light on and if so were any codes pulled? how is the maintenance? How does the engine oil and transmission fluid look? Are the recommended services up to date? An over due tune up and fuel service can cause these issues. a restricted transmission filter and low or worn out transmission fluid will cause transmission problems. Please write back but provide all the info you can. I'm not there so I need to see what you see. Also give me an idea of what you want. Some people are not able to perform diagnostics and only want a quick fix, if possible. Other are more experienced and want a schematic or helpful diagnostic tips.
I ran my 2006 chevy
after putting some gas in your tank, step on the gas pedal repeatedly (step to it fully), then while pressing, start your car. the fuel was completely drained from your system thus there are no fuel to burn in able for your car to start.
pressing the gas pedal repeatedly (around 10 times will do) will put some fuel in your combustion chamber, so the car will now have something to burn if you will start the car
