Oldsmobile Silhouette

State silhouettes refer to the distinct outline or shape of a U.S. state when viewed from a distance. Each state has a unique silhouette that can often be recognized immediately, such as the long, narrow shape of Florida or the square outline of Wyoming. These shapes are often used in maps, educational materials, and artistic representations to symbolize the states visually. State silhouettes can also evoke a sense of identity and pride among residents.

I own a '97 silhouette that had a similar problem. The first time this occurred it was the intake manifold gasket. About two years later the problem arose again, only this time it was the head gasket. These cars are notorious for these gasket problems. Worse yet is the fact that if the car runs hot you have a very good chance of warping the heads. At $1500 to repair, my silhouette is done and headed for the scrap yard.

Good luck-

The 1997 Oldsmobile starter relay switch can be found in the fuse box. The starter relay switch will be at the top of the third column.

If you're sure you've got the correct scanner and using it correctly then it is highly probably you have a bad ECM.

It's not too difficult to replace the Body Control Module. If you know what you are doing you can do it in about 2 hours. I just got through doing it on my 1996 Caravan. The BCM is mounted on the back of the fuse box under the dash on the driver's side. 1. Disconnect the battery.

2. Remove the under-dash panel (plastic cover panel, metal panel, and metal brace.) You will also need to disconnect the handle for the emergency brake.

3. Remove three large screws holding fuse box in place (two on right and one on left.)

4. Remove the electrical connections at the bottom of the BCM. Avoid breaking the plastic retaining clips if possible. To release the clips push in at the tip.

5. You should now be able to pull the fuse box down a few inches, which is all you need.

6. Remove the screws holding the BCM to the fuse box, two screws on the right and one on the left.

7. Slide the BCM down and out to remove it from the back of the fuse box. Reverse the procedure to put the new BCM in place. If you broke the retaining clips on the connectors you will need to use duct tape to hold them in place.

The correct torque for the rocker arm bolt is 14 N·m (124 lb in) plus 30 degrees.

Try buying a higher grade of fuel first. Some vehicles require more octane to stop them from knocking. You might also consider putting in some injector cleaner with the first upgrade of fuel to see if that helps and cleans out the injectors.

On just about all GM vehicles, you need to pull the fuel tank to get to the fuel pump.

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.

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.
