The quick, dirty, and cheap answer is tighten your gas cap until it clicks at least 5 times. With in one or two days the vacuum in the gas tank will build up and reset the code. The not so cheap answer is take it to a dealer with a blank check, he'll tighten your gas cap and charge you $150. Or you can buy an OBDII Code reader or better a decoder that hooks to your car's computer and reads out your engine diagnostics real time. OBDII stands for OnBoard Diagnostics level 2 and replaced the older OBD1 around 1996. It tracks hundreds of items such as ignition timing, fuel trim and pressure, the number of times your Oxygen Sensor transitions from rich to lean(I got that one)and a list longer than your arm, including loose gas caps. It's a phenominal system which can even tell the police how fast you were going and if you applied the breaks before you plowed through the front window of that car dealership you love so well. The real problem with this system is that there is no way for it to tell you whats on its mind without an expensive interface that the dealer has. Until now that is. Take a look at http://www.scantool.net/, they sell a low cost OBDII decoder which will read the codes, reset the MIL(Check Engine Soon) Light, and give you data to help you determine what's wrong (loose gas cap?). It runs on an older PC or Laptop which allows you to get on the fly readings(you read, someone else drives). It's well worth the $100, get together with your family and friends everybody chip in 20 bucks and an old laptop(386 is OK)and your the hit of the neighborhood. Only trouble is that each scantool does only one type of OBDII output. Ford, GM , and Chrysler/foreign cars are all different. There are other decoders that handle all three systems but their more expensive. Do the cost/benifit analysis to see if you want a single or universal system and how much the share will be. Do a Google search on ODBII, and pick the reader you want. , hope it was just the gas cap. 94

You take ten steps to your right then go make some popcorn and feed it to Cameron. After you have completed these steps, you will officially know that you are mentally challenged.

A Silhouette in Splinters was created on 2005-06-01.

most likely it is the heater fan motor resistor. It is located under the dash on passenger side in heater box near blower motor. It is a common problem on all G.M vehicles. It is available at most aftermarket auto suppliers as well as G.M dealers.

On Passenger's side, found top one and a front one near the compressor.

Jacked engine to release pressure.

There must be others as it has not loosened.

It is unclear below where the bracket stops.

Any ideas ?

According to my research, I have gathered that it would cost around $1,500. As far as workman go, I heard that Hetas.com has a installer look up. So you could find an installer based on where you live.

Replace fuel level sensor in side fuel tank well known problems for these.

A good dealer will let you see it and perhaps copy if for you if you ask. Mine did.

The 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette wiper blade sizes are 24" wiper blades on both sides front and a 13" rear wiper. Do not buy by length only though. See Sources and Related Links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

All of my 2002 Silhouette outside lights had small leaks when I purchased the van used. I did not notice this when I bought it but shortly after, my rear lights all went out. I had to replace the whole assembly including the covers. I have not had any problems in the 4 years since I did that. After talking to several mechanics, I understand that is very common in the Silhouettes. Hope this helps.

theres a few things it will do with any car not just your 3 olds, it may sound like you have marbles inside of a glass jar spinning around ... it may make a noise like a rewinding tape in the vcr... or if its doing it a lot it prolly isent your water pump it may be your tensioner.. which is about a $40 fix... the bareings go bad in those about every 3 years depending on how much you drive ... but if your water pump isent leaking and you arent having to refill your coolant weekly and your car isent overheating then it isent that most likely somthing elese - power steering, tensioner, belt?, alt. A/C <--$$$

Crawl under the car and look up at the exhaust system. You will see the converter.

Between the front exaust manifold and the radiator fan. ITS ALWAYS HOT IN THAT AREA SO WHERE GLOVES OR YOU WILL GET BURNT...

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan with 103,XXX miles. We just paid $1,728 to have the transmission completely rebuilt. Our transmission started whining and shifting hard from time to time about a month ago. I first had the transmission fluid and filter changed, thinking the filter might be clogged. The van was whining only once or twice a week in the beginning, but soon started doing it more often. It mostly made the noise when we were driving around town making frequent stops and starts. After taking the transmission apart, the shop found the front bearing was wore and the overdrive clutch hub was shot. They put in a complete overhaul kit, new clutches, bearing kit, and a total of 5 or 6 updates to fix common factory problems with this transmission. The updates will supposedly make this transmission better than it was from the factory. Time will tell.

The firing order is 1,2,3,4,5,6. Front cylinders are 2,4,6 the rear 1,3,5 from left to right as you face the engine from the front.

Auto Zone says it's located on the driver's side intake manifold. I've not found it yet on my 95. Maybe you will have better luck!, if so post a response please.

Blown fuel pump fuse, or defective fuel pump relay. This is assuming all wiring is good.

First thing for any automobile - check the battery - may be dead.

Hi,

The relays for the radiator cooling fans are located in the underhood fuse block. There should be a label on the underside of the fuse block cover, but I have included a link (below) to a site that shows the relays. You will have to scroll down a little bit, as that page shows all the fuse block diagrams in the van. I have checked and the layout for all of the 2001-2004 Ventures are the same.

Good Luck, Greg

it doesnt have a timing belt, it has a chain.
