Question: 2008 Impala. Back door locks stopped working. Should I replace the actuators or look at something else before replacing them?
 Answer: Those actuators are very common to go bad on your Chevy Impala. I would suspect that one of them was weak and not working properly for a while before the other started acting up. And now you notice they are both not working. I would just go ahead and replace them both. We do not have any common wiring problem that would effect both rears doors.

Question: 2007 Trailblaer has random shaking felt throughout the car(not just the steering wheel) at around 60mph. Stop the vehicle and get back on the road it's gone. May be months between episodes. My mechanic has looked the front end of twice in a year and cannot find anything. Any clues?
 With a vibration that comes and goes over months, I cant see any way a mechanic is going to find that problem. If pulling over on the road makes it go away, then it cannot be a tires, wheel, axle, u-joint or anything like that. I could not even guess at what it could be.

Question: Just replaced a FPR. Now my car is stalling before it starts what can this be 2005 Chevy impala 3400 v6.
 If replacing the fuel presure regulator caused this new problem, then it may be a bad regulator. Check that it is not leaking into the vacuum hose. Depending on how much you took apart to replaced it, you may have a vacuum leak. Check this link for proper fuel pressure regulator replacement

Question: Where is the turn signal flasher relay located on a 2000 Chevy Impala?
 The turn flasher is part of the hazard light switch / button. When there is a problem with the turn or hazzard lights, that is the first thing to check.

Question: Where is the heater core and thermostat located on a 2005 chevy impala?
 The heater core is in the dash. The thermostat is on the engine at the upper radiator hose.

Question: 2005 Chevy Impala. Transmission shifting hard sometimes. Of course, wouldn't do it when mechanic drove it. There was a transmission code, though. I think he said P1811.
 There are many articles on this site about P1811. Just do a search. Possible bad pressure control valve or internal damage.

Question: Where is the EVAP canister located on a 2009 Chevy 3.5 v6 engine?
 The vapor canister is located on the top side of the gas tank on the drivers side. The tank will need to be lowered to get to it.
