How do you fix the security ligh on a 1999 Chevrolet lumina and what does it mean?

It means that the car is not able to recognize the chip that is in your ignition key. This is bad because usually with security features like that, the lack of the chip causes your fuel pump to shut down which means you'll be running on only the fuel already in your lines.

I had this happen on mine only once and a gentle wiggle of my key made the light go off. You can also try cleaning the key with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any grime that may be preventing the chip from being read. It's something worth having a garage take a look at.

Why is there white smoke coming out of the tailpipe of your 92 lumina?

because you have your heat on when you see it. White exhaust smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber.

Stop driving this car immediately or severe engine damage will occur. Change the oil & filter and drive it to a professional for repair.

It can only handle 10 Amps, and there is a very large warning sayin that if you overpower it, it can cause damage to your electrical system. I've never been able to find anything on this, so not sure what its for exactly, but I've had it wired up for a year or so now an its been fine. Better make sure ya do it professionally or it could cause problems as well. Make sure you have a 10 Amp fuse between your amp and this connection.

3100 motor and the idle speed goes up occassionally?

There are 2 issues that need to be looked at in this case. Procure a can of CRC MAF cleaner from a FLAPS. Follow the directions and clean the MAF sensor. The GM sensors get dirty and that confuses the computer. Second clean the Idle air controller with carburettor (Berkebile 2+2 or equivalent) cleaner. Also clean the manifold passages where the IAC lives. If this doesn't fix the issue replace the IAC unit. (NAPA part about $60).
