What is the gas mileage for Pontiac Montana?

The gas mileage for a Pontiac Montana will vary depending on where you are driving and speed. The average is 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

Fuel pump in 1999 Pontiac Montana?

It is all as one piece inside the fuel tank, it also has the sending unit and cannot be purchased seperately. It's expensive $300 -$450 and a garage will charge you a few hundred to change it. It really isn't hard to do if you have any skill and about 1 hour.

Use as much gas as you can so the tank is as light as it can be, I used a motorcycle jack to lower mine. Disconnect the electronics first (battery) undo the fuel filler hose, the gas lines, and the 3 straps holding the tank to the frame. lower the tank and remove from vehicle. There is a steel O ring that holds the sending unit in the tank..use a brass punch or a piece of hard wood (DO NOT USE STEEL as it will spark and that's bad around gas!!) unscrew the ring, simply pull out sending unit...replace with new and repeat the process backward to reassemble.

How do you reset the change oil light on a 2000 Pontiac Montana?

With the key in the on position press the gas pedal 3 times..This should reset it>>

Answer 2: (from the owner's manual)

Do these steps in 5 seconds: Turn the key to the "ON" position while the engine is NOT running (the dash lights will turn on with all the appropriate beeps). Fully press and slowly release the accelerator pedal 3 times. Turn the key to the "OFF" position.

Start the engine normally, if the "Change Engine Oil" warning still comes on, repeat these steps. It might take you a few attempts before you do it correctly.

When replacing the crankshaft position sensor on a 2001 Pontiac Montana 3.4 is there a need to take it to a dealer for a learning procedure?

No you should be fine if you didn't unhook the battery for a long period of time. The OBD 2 ECM is alot better and smarter then the older OBD 1 ECM. If the Check Engine light still stays on then you will need it tested and cleared. Unhooking the battery will not clear any codes. The learning process is done after 10 miles or so. If it starts and runs fine then your ok but if the alarm and keyless entry does not work if equiped then you will need to take it to the dealer to be reprogramed.

How do you syphon gas out of any vehicle?

You don't for newer vehicles. There is a small grid partway down the gas tank filler pipe which prevents normal sized plastic tubing from going all the way down to the gas. On older vehicles, or if you want to risk damaging or even blowing up the newer car (and yourself) by poking that grid out of the way with a longish hard metal rod, you can drop a plastic tube down into the tank, then, keeping a longish loop of it outside the car below the level of the gas filler opening so you can see when the gas starts to come out, suck vigorously on the end of the plastic tube until you see the loop starting to fill with gas. Then stop sucking unless you want your stomach pumped and/or risk cancer from getting gas in your mouth.

Pinch closed, then take the end of the loop that you've been sucking on and put it into the container you've been keeping nearby to contain the gas that you're syphoning out.

Straighten out the part of the tube outside the car so that the gas in the above mentioned longish loop now starts to flow into the container, drawing more gas out of the car's tank while doing so. The opening of the container must be below the level of the bottom of the gas tank of the car. Also, unless the aforementioned loop had its lowest point below the level of the bottom of the gas tank, you may have to keep pinching shut the end of the tube that you were sucking on while you are straightening out the loop and inserting the end of the tube into your container.

How do you hook up an after market CD player in a 2000 Pontiac Montana needing the wiring diagram?

This a tricky one. I am in the process myself. The first obstacle is the "accessory wire". It's the hot wire that carries a 12 volt charge when the ignition switch is in the on position. This wire does run through the wiring harness. You have to "hard wire" this through the dash under your steering wheel. You need to locate the accessory wire (usually a thick brown wire) and splice into it. The next Obstacle I have come across is the location of the speaker wires. I am in the process of doing this now. After I get it figured out I will post those results. I once bought a wire harness kit at Wal-Mart.You connect the wires from the new unit to the plug in adapter then plug it into the factory radio plug.They sell the kits for many cars.If I remember correctly it was like $12.00 or less.

2000 Pontiac Montana ran out of gas put 5 gallons of gas in it and it won't start why?

More than likely if you ran out of gas like you said then added gasoline you probably stirred up the junk at the bottom of your tank and the stuff got clogged in your fuel filter,

Try draining the tank and changing the fuel filter, add fresh gas let settle for a while, and try starting the engine

I've run several different fuel injected cars out of gas and had the same problem. What I think happens is that the fuel pump picks up air and the system loses pressurization. What I do now is this: after putting gas in the tank, open your ears and listen carefully. Turn the ignition key to "run" (but do not START). You will hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds then shut off. After you hear the pump stop, turn the key off, and back to RUN again. Again, listen for the fuel pump to run and stop. Do this 3 or 4 times. Now try to start the car.
