Why would a 92 Chevy Lumina be hard to start and the oil light flash on and off?

The car will start and run poorly in the limp mode and the check engine light will illuminate.

probably your security system . Search google for "Bypass GM Vats Security"

1999 Chevy lumina, won't start, security light comes on ,can jump the starter but motor will only run for a short time , strong battery ? tried different keys , no good ? help

One reason a 1993 Chevy Lumina may turn over but not start could be the battery. It may also be the spark plugs.

Turn ignition on but do not start engine, depress accelerator to the floor three times within 5 seconds, oil change light should flash 5 times, oil change light is reset if you did this correctly.

A 1997 Chevy Lumina with a 3.1 that will not start, turns over, and doesn't spark; most likely has a defective ignition system. The coil may be damaged or wire providing power could be damaged.

Install a manual gauge to check actual pressure or try Replacing oil sending unit

Try adding more gas

when i got into the car to start it it wouldn't even try nothing it had power to everything else and a new battery it just flashed security what can i do to disarm the security system

Most oxygen sensors are either on the exaust headpipe just after the manifold or on the manifold. I don't know where it is exactly on the Lumina but that is where you should start looking.

your key is probably wore out and tumblers are not moving

If there is no check engine light illuminated, start with the basics like a good tune up.

Turn key on,DO NOT START then push the gas pedal all the way down to the floor 3-times. Then turn key off and then start the engine. Light should flash and then go out.

Check your fuses

on my 98, its under the wiper fluid tank

Turn ignition on (do not start engine), depress the accelerator to the floor 3 times within 5 seconds, change oil light should flash 5 times, done.

there is a plug in under the dash the bottum row take a jumper wire from the first on the left to the third them turn your key on your light will flash once and then start giving you codes drive safe

put your truck to the run position and press the gas pedal to the floor 3 times then turn it off. then start it up and it should flash then disapeer

Could be the starter.

crank sensor or the board the coil bank bolts to

i would have the coil packs tested

Could be you need a new fuel idle motor. Or you need new spark plugs

Possibly a problen with the VATS (vehicle anti theft system) See if there is a security light on the instrument panel that is on or flashing.If it is that's the problem.

I had a similar problem turns out the Alternator was bad.

Run a "compression test" to see if the engine overheated and warped the head.

Try getting a jump start. Could be a bad battery. If your battery is good, then you will need to get a new starter. It may be the Starter or the battery make be dead,

it is due a service and the garage can reset the light

All O2 sensors are located on the exhaust system. Start at the exhaust manifold and work your way backward.

Clean the resister on the key with alchohol, dry and try to start the car.

No. My first guess is the fuel filter got plugged up from some stuff on the bottom of the gas tank. Try replacing it.

it needs to be serviced

1993 Volvo 850 : Where would a cold start injector be located - only see 5 injectors. ... 1995 Chevrolet Lumina : 1995 Chevy lumina van. motor dies at low speeds. more ... 1992 Ford Explorer : what would cause high oil pressure blow by on my 92 ... Thanks for your hard work, and impressive contributions to this ...

The oil sits at the bottom of your engine in your oil pan. The oil takes a minute to build that pressure up and get the oil all through out the valves.

The condition may possibly be piston slap.

I own a '96 Chevy Lumina that has the same problem and it sounds like it is a fairly common problem. I don't actually have the solution, however I know that if I turn the car to the on position and sit for a couple of minutes, then try and crank it over, it will magically start. I was thinking maybe there is just a bad connection or wire somewhere in the ignition system.

Turn the key to the on position but do not start press the gas pedal 3 times within 10 seconds and the oil change light will flash 3 times and go out. now it is reset

just found out that it needed a fuel pump. engine was flooded and needed to dry up.

Per the owners manual,turn the ignition key to the RUN position (but don't start the engine) fully push and release the accelerator pedal three times within 5 seconds. If the CHANGE OIL SOON light flashes 2 times, the system is reset. If the light comes back on and stays on, repeat the reset process.

Turn the ignition on but don't start the car, press the accelerator rapidly 3 times in less than 5 seconds, if you do it correctly, the change oil light will be reset, if it does not work, try it again until it does. I have used this on both of my wife's lumina's (both a '98, and a 2000) as well as my '96 Caprice.

Try looking at replacing the crankshaft position sensor, i had a similar problem with my 92 lumina and i traced it back to a bad crank sensor.

Get a new battery, mine was doing the same thing. No matter how charged it is, youll still need a new one.
