Problem with my 2001 chevy impala
3.1 v6
Done to repair this problem = i have replaced the crank position sensor,
but the wire going to the sensor from the ignition module melted when it
touched the exhaust manifold i have since re-wired it i cut connectors off
and used new wire to rerun, the engine started right up after driving 1/4
mile the wire fried again, any reason there would be such a problem with
crank sensor , also previously had ignition module tested, they said it was
no good yet i put it back on car and it runs fine except for this stupid wire
anything you can tell me is greatly appreciated, i just started a family and
dont have money to pay someone hundreds to look at it!!
GM tech = jk
JK:
Never had crank sensor wires burn unless touching an exhaust component.
Not a high voltage / amperage circuit. Possibly burned on egr valve or tube
that is in the area. I would suggest wrapping the wires in the corrugated
plastic cover, just like some of the other wire harness under the hood are.

Problem with my 2006 Chevrolet impala
V6
GM tech = jk
question = Why does my 2006 impala power steering not work anymore. It
is grinding and whining. I checked the fluid and it is low / empty. Where did
the fluid go. Why does my impala loose fluid.
JK:
A common cause for loss of power steering and the fluid is a power steering
hose under the car. As viewed from under, on the v6 there is a small 4 i n.
hose that connects two pipes. It is at the intersection of the rt. (passenger
side) frame rail, and the rear framerail. A new hose and clamps are
needed. Then fill and bleed the system.
On the v8 models, the entire hose and pipe assembly must be replaced.
This is quite a big job. The frame needs to be lowered and an engine
mount removed. Then fill and bleed until the whining noise goes away.
Best way to bleed is to get the front wheels off the ground, fill the reservoir
half way, turn the steering wheel to the rt. then to the left- all the way to the
stops. Do this 10-15 times. Check and adjust fluid level, then start the car.
