Could be the coils are binding. It's more noticeable with variable rate springs. GM had a service bulletin in the mid 80s for a thumping noise in the rear of G and B cars. The fix was to index the spr ...

The lamp driver module may be shorted. Should be a small green plastic box located above or to the right of the glove box, tied to the harness. The ecm controls this to turn on the ck. eng. light. Wit ...

There should be 2 wires on the + side of the coil. One runs from the R terminal on the starter. It supplies full battery voltage to the coil when cranking.
The second wire is a resistor that drops th ...

Mike,if the problem isn't in the head unit itself it's possible the speaker wires are shorting to the body or together. Could be causing the amp in the head to shut down. Turning it off and on resets ...

Are you waiting 10-15 seconds between cycles? The ECM won't activate the pump after the first time without the interval.

Possible the coolant temp sensor is not reading correctly, but not out of wh ...
