Monte Carlo :: 1997 - Oil In Coolant
1997 Monte Carlo, 3.1 liter, 3rd engine, I have oil in the coolant and it uses 1 qt of oil every 3,00 miles. No smoke from the exhaust. What is causing this???

This miss feels like the engine is stopping not just missing but jerking the car for one cylinder. If I just barely hold speed it is minimized or if I step on it it will stop so I'm pretty sure it's not ignition wires or coils etc.. I would suspect pre-ignition but it's been going on a long time ( a year at least) while I've been half fast trying to figure it out so if it's pre-ignition then this is a hell of a strong engine. I have suspected a slightly sticky injector because of the working fine at more throttle. 1997 3.4DOHC Monte Carlo

Turned the key on my 2002 MC SS, V6, 3.8L, and the Intake Manifold exploded.
Intake Manifold Exploding on a GM V6, 3.8L? It sounded like a 12ga shotgun. Fortunately no one was looking into the engine compartment at the time as they likely would have been killed given the amount of shrapnel from this explosion. Note that the explosion was powerful enough to blow off the oil cap, which is screwed on with very thick threads.
The vehicle was at my mechanics at time and in his forty years he's not seen an intake manifold explode save for those residing on Top Fuel or Funny Cars.
Monte Carlo :: 2000 - Car Shakes When Accelerating
I recently (about a year ago) got a 2000 Monte Carlo, great car, runs good, just one issue. Lately, when I accelerate it shakes in the front end, I let off the gas, the shaking stops, some days are worse than others. Some people have told me its the CVS, or the axle, or the motor mounts. Is this common with a 2000.

View 6 RepliesChevrolet - Monte Carlo :: Tweet Sound When Car Is Off
My 2006 Monte Carlo has been making a strange 'tweet' sound. I only notice it when the car is off. It's just a single 'tweet', a minute or so will pass, then it does it again. What could this be? I'm worried it's something expensive.
View 4 RepliesMonte Carlo :: 1998 LS - Car Shifted Fine But Not Going Into Overdrive
I think I've joined the ranks of the no overdrive in our Monte club. Bought the car last summer, 184K on the odometer. Previous owner was original owner. Said trans was always strong. Took the car for a spin Saturday. Previously, no OD issues. It's cold out. Pulled up to a light to get out onto main road. Right turn on red. accelerated normally, but noticed a long hold in 1st before shifting into second. Never saw it before, so was paying attention at the next light, which was right away. Accelerated again, and again a long hesitation going from 1st to second.
Next light is right away again. Light turns green, car shifts normally and I drive it about 10 miles. No issues. I paid particular attention to it going into overdrive, and it did. Arrive a junk yard. Got the part I wanted. Spent about an hour in there. Came back out and started home. Car shifted ok, but did not want to go into overdrive. Thought to myself, well, maybe it's cold. Drove some more. Nope. Never wants to go to overdrive anymore. It does shift from 1-2-3-4 ok. I've heard about the stripped spline in the output shaft, but I was wondering if there is another controller somewhere inside, or outside of the trans that could be causing this issue. When I am in OD and in 4 gear and driving at about 50 MPH and I shift it to D, I feel it shift into 3rd. I plan on getting it diagnosed, but was wondering what you all are thinking.

Monte Carlo :: 2002 SS Blower Motor Does Not Come On Occasionally
I have a problem on the blower motor and i think its something besides the blower motor going out it works fine most of the time but occasionally it does not come on when this occurs I noticed that the cruise light is flashing in the dash and when this is occurring you can push the on/off switch in the steering wheel and the light does nothing. Now whenever the blower motor works properly everything with the cruise functions properly no light in the dash and when turning on/off switch works properly also no noise coming from blower motor ( bearing ) sounds fine. would a bad BCM cause this or am i looking in wrong direction ???

My 99 Monte Carlo LS has a problem with the ac and the heater being stuck in the defrost mode. The heater and the ac work fine but it won't switch to anything else. I heard this could be a vacuum prob. I found a hose that runs from the top of the upper intake manifold. It goes to a T then one end to the firewall and the broken end is by the battery. I don't know where the broken end goes.

I've a 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo, 3.4 L engine, 110K miles. The cooling fan is making a intermittent loud noise for some reason or another. Can the motors be purchased separately or will I have to buy the entire cooling fan assembly? Also, could this be a bearing problem? The fan doesn't appear to be rubbing against anything. The fan is running after the engine is turn off although the engine wasn't real hot.................driven under 15 miles and fan came on and stayed on after turning off engine but finally stopped running.
View 5 RepliesMonte Carlo :: 2004 - Power Windows Not Working
About a year ago replaced the switch on drivers side. Both windows worked till about a week ago. This time the switch on drivers side and pass side no longer work either window.
Is there a fuse for the power windows? I looked on both sides of dash and couldnt find any.
Would the switch on drivers side going completely out cause the pass side one to stop working too? Didnt last time.
