01 Monte Carlo SS won't start :(
Permalink Closed


Soo yesterday it wouldn't start, makes a funny vacuum noise coming from the engine.  Last night I checked the spark plugs and the first one was kinda dirty, I cleaned it a little and the car started and I pulled it into the driveway and shut it off.  Now the little vacuum noise wouldn't stop, so I had to disconnect the battery and everytime I reconnect it the noise starts.  Turning the key does nothing while the noise is happening.

The only thing that sounds like a vacuum on that car would be the Secondary Air Pump. If thats happening either the Pump Relay is stuck, trigger wire from the PCM to the relay is shorted or the PCM is internally shorted. Really hard to diagnose over the net. Best thing to do is take it to a compenant repair shop and have it diagnosed properly. Electrical issues can really get tricky and tie up lots of tme and cash.

Good Luck.
