Go to auto zone and have the codes read for free. This may cure both problems. Mine did the same thing... it was a sensor in the wheel bearing that went bad. Apparently, it is not an uncommon issue. I have replaced 4 bearings (only in the front wheels).
I totally believe that you will never find a carb kit for your alero cause it does not have a carb it is a fuel injected engine.
The RPMs and the engine of the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero might surge if there is a problem with the oxygen or fuel sensor. It may also surge if there is a problem with the fuel injectors or the fuel filter.
YOU NEED TO GO INTO YOUR GM DEALER AND HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPROGRAM THE CARS COMPUTER !
The service code stays in the computer until it is cleared. Whatever the problem is, even if its fixed wont cause the light to turn off. To clear the engine codes, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave it disconnected for 15 minutes, then re-attach it.
It definitely is a possible cause of it jerking, if it's not an engine mount, service the transmission
The service engine soon, or check engine, light is reset with a scan tool after repairing the cause of the trouble codes.
need a new engine most likely. driving dry or on low oil for a few miles will cause that..it will be cheaper for you to just get a used engine with lower miles from a junk yard than taking it apart and rebuilding it..
Yes. Your Check Engine light or Service Engine Soon light.
Tire pressure will not cause a check engine light.
The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
Ambient temperature Should have no effect on Service engine light Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
Yes it can.
