this could be antifreeze is the level low on your cars cooling system

is the tone like a tone you hear but diffrent pitch then your blickers?

keep the steering wheel in one spot, do not rotate,  check horn by pressing pad in different areas.  If it is intermittent then horn pad is concern.  If it works well trying slowly turning steering wheel while pressing horn pad if there is a point in turning the wheel where horn becomes inop, then the common fault is the horn contact ring inside of the steering column

Sounds like you need to replace the horn. Check to make sure the horn's supply wire is getting power (check with a voltometer) if it is replace the horn. Since you are hearing a click, I believe the horn is the problem. If that doesn't fix it, let me know.

Are u referring to the check engine light? If so, your car has an emission problem which should be checked out. If it is some other indicator you are referring to, your owners manual will tell you what it means. If u don't have your manual, go to gm.com/gmownercenter/chevy/ to have access to your manual online. countrycurt0

No typical problems seen by this expert. Have you tried going to a heavier gear lube than what is in it now?

Hills are when you need the most power. More Power needs more gas and air than normal. Clogged air filter is easiest to check. Also check fuel filter, fuel injectors and fuel pump.

They are dual earth for a larger spark. This is no problem

There usually is a diagram of it under your hood.

A couple of ways to check if you don't have access to a fuel pressure gauge. You should hear a brief hum or buzz from the gas tank area just by turning the key to on, not start. The fuel pump is supposed to turn on for 2 seconds to put pressure in the fuel line and at the injectors. If you hear nothing, the fuel pump may have failed, but check the fuel pump fuse to know it is not blown . To check further, spray a shot of starting fluid into the air intake housing-take off the big air boot from the air filter housing to the engine, and spray inside there into the engine. Now try to start the car. If the engine coughs to life and tries to run for a few seconds, then you know it wasn't getting gas, and that usually is a bad fuel pump or a totally clogged fuel filter. To check the filter, take it off and blow into the outlet side first and see if what comes out looks clean. Then blow from the inlet side and make sure the filter passes air, that it isn't blocked. If the filter was clean, it must be the pump. It is supposed to turn on briefly with key turned to on, and then it runs constantly when the engine is cranking or running. So it has had a good long life since 1993. The definitive test of a bad pump would be to find live power at the fuel pump wire at the gas tank connector while the engine was cranking over. If power there, but no pump working, definitely time for a new pump.

FUEL ! problem sounds like pump injectors ect

There is no inline fuel filtwer, it is part of the fuel pump intake micro screen. It is never in need of replqacing unless the fuel pump fails.
