Engine Problem with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero
Engine size = 3.4 V6
GM tech = JK, MW, KK, SF
question = I need to see if there are interchangable engines. Like a cutlass or
something. And if so what years?
KK:
3.4L v6 engine from many different years and different make / models will fit.
Some changes would need to be made depending on the model or years the engine
was from. If going with a junk yard motor, they would have the info to cross reference
what years are intechangable.

question = I was stuck in snow, and my wheel was turning very easy; but when I start to drive I lost the
power steering. So is very hard to drive the car now. It's this a computer or mechanical problem???

GM Tech JK:
This car does not have electric power steering, so it would not be a computer
problem..
Most likely the power steering pump shaft has broke.
Push and pull on the power steering pump pulley to see if t moves in and out
more than an 1/8 inch or so. If it does, then the pump needs to be replaced,
then the system bled of air.

Answer: The engine numbers are usually on a flat spot on the
engine block near where the cylinder heads attach to the block. The
area is probably rusted over since the car is 11 years old and would
be hard to find and see. If you can find the area, it can be cleaned
with a wire brush or solvent so you can read the numbers better.
