Problem with My 2001 Olds Alero
3.4L 6 Cylinder
codes = No
work done prior = Turning signals would work properly (sometimes they
would work, sometimes they wouldn't). Took into shop and they fixed.
work done to repair = Not sure what they did to fix the turning signal
problem.
tech = JK
question = Once my 2001 Olds Alero is shut off and locked up, the
outside lights (yellow) will flash periodically. Even hours after it has
been sitting.
JK:
This could be a couple of things. A faulty turn / hazzard flasher is common
for this and the original problem you had. But also the turn signal switch in
the steering column. So it kind of depends on what was replaced already.

Answer: There could be multiple reasons that cause this problem. There could be a carbon build
up inside the throttle body that is not allowing enough air to get through at an idle, which in turn
will cause the vehicle to idle at a very low speed or even die out. Not sure what parts you had
replaced with your tune up, but you could also be experiencing a misfire condition that is causing
the stall, possibly coils, ignition wires or ignition module. If the Service Engine Soon light is on, you
definitely have a problem that needs to be checked out by a technician. There will be a trouble
code set that will help diagnose the problem for you. Most of the large national parts store chains
will scan the computer for free.
