How do you jump start a Pontiac Montana?

Well, honey, first you need to locate the battery - it's usually hiding under the hood. Grab some jumper cables and find a good Samaritan with a working vehicle. Connect the red cable to the positive terminals, black cable to the negative terminals, start the working car, let it run for a few minutes, then try starting your Montana. Good luck, sweetie!

How do you open a power sliding door on Pontiac Montana?

To open a power sliding door on a Pontiac Montana, you typically need to press the button located on the driver's side door panel or use the key fob remote control. The button activates the door motor, which then slides the door open electronically. If the power sliding door is not functioning properly, it may be due to a faulty motor, wiring issue, or sensor problem, which would require further diagnosis and potential repair by a qualified mechanic.

Are the body parts of a 2001 Pontiac Montana interchangeable with any other years or models?

For the most part, yes. a 2001 Montana will be compatible with Chevrolet Venture ('97-'05), Oldsmobile Silhouette ('97-2004) and Pontiac Montana/Pontiac Trans Sport ('97-05)

Also, if you're going to a junk yard for parts, keep an eye out for Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay, Chevrolet Uplander & Pontiac Montana SV6. These models range from year 2005 to 2010 (Not sure what year Buick & Saturn ceased production)

Many parts are interchangeable with your 2001, with the exception of the rear tail light, front fenders, hood and nose clip assembly

For example, the power sliding door from a Buick Terazza year 2008 will easily fit and work with your 2001 Pontiac Montana.

How do you remove the Radio in a 2004 Pontiac Montana?

You first have to remove two screws(7mm)in the back of the storage compartment under the pull out cup holder. Once they are removed pull that compartment out and set it off to the passenger floor side being careful not to break your lighter plug wire. Next you pull out your cup holder and remove two screws up under where the cup holder slides in and out also 7mm. Then while cup holder is pulled out remove two screws one on each side of the cup holder which are back in a little holes Phillips head. After all 6 screws are out using a small flat head screwdriver very carefully pry loose the three tabs which hold the top of the plastic trim ring above the radio. Once the trim ring is removed there are three screws that hold the radio in remove and radio is out

Why would a car accelerate without pressing the gas?

Two things:

The accelerator cable is frayed or sticking. Change it or lube it alot.

Your idle is too high. Have it lowered.

The problem could be some type of vacuam problem. That is what happened to our Explorer. Or maybe a throttle body problem?

if you mean accelerator sticking, I would check the throttle bore. The plate gets heavy carbon build up and should get cleaned every 18,000 miles.

On modern cars, idle is controlled by the Electronic Control Module. An increase in RPM without pressing the gas pedal is called surging. Have the ECM checked for codes and fix the problems it has noted. This should fix the surging problem. On my car, it was the Oxygen sensor. But it could be a number of other things also, including a vacuum leak.

Make sure your floor mat (not even a corner of it) isn't on top of the accelerator pedal. Even the slightest weight can cause the pedal to accelerate enough to be noticeable. The floor mat can slip forward (and has) in two of our new vehicles when we were driving on the highway. It had worked its way off the anchors and slipped forward, causing the vehicles to accelerate.

If it's an automatic transmission, it might be normal provided the engine performance is ok. Auto trannies have a torque converter stall speed. I have a 96 Cadillac Fleetwood and it will move on its own.

What is the Rocker arm torque specs for 3.4L Pontiac Montana?

I got a call back from my local dealer and Intake manifold bolts are 115 in./lbs and rocker arm bolts are 14 ft/lbs then 30 degrees past that. Also good to point out that push rods are long on outside of gasket, short on inside of gasket closest to the head.

How do you replace the alternator on a Pontiac Montana?

On the 4 cylinder engine, there is an belt tensioner right under the alternator pulley and slightly back. It keeps spring loaded tension on the belt so that you don't have to ever adjust the belt tension. Put a 15mm wrench on the tensioner pulley bolt and push towards the back of the car. This will allow enough play in the belt that it can be slipped off the pulley. Be careful when replacing that the grooves are properly seated in all the pulleys or the belt can be destroyed in very short order.

The V-6 engine is probably similar.

Good luck!
