Driving car with leaking intake manifold gasket?

Many car users ask this question.
 " Can i drive with intake gasket leaking or How long can i drive with intake manifold leaking"
The simple answer is no.Its not advisable.

You will definitely notice overheating due to gasket leaking.

You take a big risk on ruining the motor which will cost you more in the long run ,if the coolant is getting into the oil ,check the dipstick for the oil and see if the oil is a lt brown or gold color ,this indicates that the coolant is getting into the oil ,and if left alone it will ruin the motor (bearings,)Also you dont want to keep overheating the motor you can crack or warp the heads , it is better to replace the intake gasket now and save you the headache of a new motor or heads,,the coolant is more than likely getting into the oil.

Replacing intake manifold gasket is advisable.
This details will help.Thanks.

 (May 20, 2005) Models:
2001-2005 GM Passenger Cars with 4T65-E Automatic Transmission
2001-2005 Buick Rendezvous
2005 Buick Terraza

with 4T65-F Transmission (RPOs M15, MN3, MN7, M76)
This bulletin is being revised to include additional diagnostic information and clarify model usage. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 02-07-30-013D (Section 07 -- Transmission/Transaxle).
Condition
Some owners may comment on any one or more of the following conditions:
^The SES lamp is illuminated.
^The transmission slips.
^The transmission does not shift correctly, is very difficult to get the vehicle to start moving or the engine lacks the power to move the vehicle.
^Poor engine performance.

Cause
The most likely cause of the various conditions may be chips or debris:
^All years--Pressure Reg. Valve (Bore 1) or Torque Signal Valve (Bore 4) stuck
^On 2001-2002 vehicles, a plugged orifice on the case side of the spacer plate.
^ON 2003-2005 vehicles, restricted movement of the 2-3 shift valves in the valve body.
^On 2003-2005 vehicles, restricted movement of the 3-4 shift valves in the valve body.


Technician Diagnosis and Correction
^The technician's road test reveals the vehicle launches in third or fourth gear (high RPM with slow vehicle acceleration).
^On 2001-2002 vehicles, a DTC P0756 or P0757 may be stored.
^On 2003-2005 vehicles, a DTC P0730, P0741, P0748 or P0757 may be stored.
^Refer to the appropriate Service Information (SI) for additional Diagnostic Assistance.
^With a Tech 2(R) connected to the vehicle, road test the vehicle and perform the following steps:
If the above symptoms are present proceed with the following steps.
1.With the valve body removed and on a workbench, carefully push the valve against spring pressure to check if the valve will snap back to the original position. Or for the valves seated in home position, use a small flat-bladed screwdriver and carefully pry the valve off its seat, quickly remove the screwdriver allowing the valve to return to its seat. If the valve does not snap back unencumbered, then the valve will need to be removed from the valve body.
graphic
2.Once the valve is removed, inspect for any scratching or scoring.
3.If any scratching or scoring is found, then the fingernail test will need to be performed. Important: It has been found that in most cases that the scratches are not severe enough to catch your fingernail.
4.Using your fingernail, move over any scratches to see if your nail will catch on the scratch or score.
- If your nail catches in the scratches, the valve will need to be replaced.
- If your nail does not catch in the scratches, continue with the next step.
6.Important: Clean the valve body with the machined side down so debris may escape.
7.Clean the valve and bore using brake cleaner.
8.Blow off with shop air.
9.To verify free movement of the valve, dip the valve into clean ATF and install the valve back into the appropriate bore. The valve should move freely. If the valve moves freely, in most cases the valve body will function properly when reinstalled.10.Reassemble and retest




This details will help.Thanks.

security light is ON and engine will not start on Buick Century?

Car not starting due to security light ON.
Its a error issue.
There is definitely an error stored in your cars computer and you will need to get the car scanned to retrieve the error.The error will point out what is faulty and you can look into that parts and inspect the part and confirm the problem.
About the only thing you can try without any diagnostic equipment is to attempt a security system relearn; this may allow you to get the car started so you can drive it in to be repaired. Here is the procedure as follows, which takes 30 minutes:
(1) Turn the key to the run position; the security light should come on. Leave it in this position for 10 minutes, untill the light goes out.
(2) Cycle the key off and back to run; the light will be back on. Again, allow it to sit for 10 minutes untill the light goes out.
(3) repeat this for a third time, and wait untill the light goes out.
(4) once the light goes out for the 3rd time, try to start the engine.

If this makes the engine start, the car is still not repaired but you can drive it in to a shop to be diagnosed. if not, then there is a component failure and you wioll need to have it towed in.
To determinewhat is worng a tech-2 scan tool is needed. This isthe factory scan tool that all dealerships and many independent repair shops have, and it is the only scan equipment that can access the security features on Gm vehicles to retrieve security fault codes and view live security system data for diagnosis.
Common failures on this model include ignition lock cylinders (which contain a signal generator), body controllers, and poor electrical connections in the system.

This details should help you.
Thanks.

Car will not start or click at all?

PLEASE HELP.
MY CAR WILL NOT START.WHEN I TURN THE KEY ,THERE IS NO NOISE HEARD,NOT EVEN A CLICK.SOME TYPE OF NOISE WAS HEARD FROM STARTER AREA,WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED.
-----------
OK.



You probably blew a fuse or burned up a fusible link somewhere down near the starter. The noise you mentioned can be problem, shorting the starter.Check the starter by connecting it directly.
Make sure the battery has a full charge, if the battery has no enough amps to crank the engine.Then also same problem will be noticed.But if battery shows proper 12 voltage then its not battery problem. If you burnt up wiring, the starter is got shorted. You can check the starter operation by jumping the solenoid terminal and the bigger power terminal together and see if it cranks. The key would need to be on to do this. ----------
This troubleshooting will help you to confirm the problem.


THANK YOU.
