Question:
2001 Oldsmobile Alero, How do I program a remote keyless ? everyone says it is a dealer job to program the remote.
ANSWER:
That can be done with the dealer's scan tool, however, the data base has this. You might want to try this first, You may need to do it a couple times before it takes.
Transmitter Synchronization
Notes
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security method used by the remote keyless entry system. The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR).
The RCDLR will not respond to a signal that has been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording and playing back the signal from the transmitter.
Resynchronization may be necessary under the following conditions:
The battery in the transmitter is very weak.
The battery in the transmitter was replaced.
The battery in the vehicle has been in a low or no charge condition for an extended period of time.
In order to resynchronize the transmitter with the RCDLR, perform the following steps:
Stand within 1.5 meters (5 ft) from the vehicle.
Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for 7 seconds . The horn should chirp in order to confirm synchronization.

How do I change the Serpentine belt on a Ford Scorpio?
The tensioner used by Ford consists of a large clock spring wrapped around one bolt, engaging in an arm on which a pulley is mounted. Because the action of the spring is anticlockwise, when engaged the pulley pulls the drive belt at a pressure set by the spring. As the drive belt lengthens with wear, so the spring takes up the slack. Because of the constant tension drive belts last for years, but they should be checked regularly for signs of wear. The belt might become cracked across its width, normally in the grooved face, or it may become glazed or frayed in appearance.
NOTE: If the drivebelt tensioner(s) are in good order then they will swivel about the fulcrum bolt quite easily using only medium force. However, if the tensioners have corroded in place then considerable force may be required to release the tensioner - in this case additional leverage may be required and care used to avoid injury.

How good is amsoil for a for a dermax diesel
From everything I have read and response from my customer base. It is the best oil for your engine and there is no other.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants are fuel efficient, extended life lubricants manufactured from select synthetic base stocks and special purpose additives. These lubricants provide improved overall performance characteristics when compared to conventional petroleum oils.

key sometimes gets stuck and I'm not able to get the key out
QUESTION:
I have a 2002 buick regal. The key sometimes gets stuck and I'm not able to get the key out.I had a sensor replaced but that didn't solve the problem. Can you help me? the gm dealer put a new sensor on a week ago but i still have the same problem. I turn the wheel in different directions no results. I then move the car turn off the key again. sometimes that will work other times it won't.
ANSWER:
I have had to replace the upper steering shaft housing for a problem that you could not take apart & see.This is the housing that holds the lock cylinder.Sometimes these castings exhibit characteristics(exact fit) that you cannot pick out ,but one works good & the other does not.

1997 pathfinder 3.3 v6 motor. i am getting no fire at all
QUESTION:
i have a 1997 pathfinder 3.3 v6 motor. i am getting no fire at all. i know there is a crank sensor and the dist. can anyone tell which is more likely to be the cause? i have some people tell they are bad for the dist. and then others tell the crank sensor
ANSWER:
The Cam sensor is the most common on that year Pathfinder. That is the one in the distributor. With no spark conditions, thats the first place I check! The way I check it is with a multimeter. I check voltages and grounds. If I have them, then it's normally the distributor. ( B/W wire = Battery voltage & B wire = ground.)Are you able to scan for codes? That would definitely help which it could be. I have really never seen those crank sensors fail, where I have seen distributor fail. I have also seen allot of New after market distributors not work also. Not to say that may happen to you, but please keep that in mind if you decide to go that route.

pcm 0745 the TCC is stuck off. what is the TCC and where?
Question:
1999 Cadillac devillie, pcm 0745 the TCC is stuck off. what is the TCC and where? I have tried the TPS at first from running symptoms but after learning to get the codes and reading the manual it says that its the TCC but do not know the actually definition of that abbreviation.I have a 98 with good trni was thinking of changing whole trani but alot of work!It seems to be fine in all gears but at acceleration it hesitates in overdrive and at stop lights the rpms are crazy up n down but if you place it in neutral it stops.Almost replaced the VSS but that would come with speedometer issues always?
Answer:
tcc stands for torque converter clutch. this is a solenoid that controls your torque converter. when it see the right parameter the torque converter gets lock up for better fuel economy on the highway. only on the hwy is the converter is suppose to lock up not in idle. if converter locks up in idle at a stop light the it may stall and make rpms jump. has this every stalled out on you? do you know where your tcc solenoid is and did you check power and ground to it? is the solenoid working as design? most time is a bad solenoid but also could just be a bad wire going to it. check the big trans wire connector and get a schematic for it to see if you have a bad wire or solenoid.
