1998 Bonneville SE 3800 V6
Engine size = 3800
tech = KK
question = Engine will not crank. New battery, power is available when
ignition is on. I've heard that the crank sensor might be the cause?
There is absolutely nothing when the ignition is held in the
start/crank position. No sound, i.e. clicking, just silence. Any suggestions?
My stepson complained that when the engine was idling and the car was
warm, the engine would die prior to this happening. We took it to
Autozone and no codes were found? Thanks for your advice!
KK:
You may have a poor connection at one of the battery terminals, a bad
starter, or a security / theft problem.
Test for power at the purple wire at the starter while trying to crank, it
should have power. If it does, you have a bad starter. If not, then a possible
security / theft problem.
Look at the dash after trying to crank, and release the key to the ON
position. If the theft / security light is on or flashing, then you have a fault in
that system and it would need to be diagnosed.

Problem with my 2000 pontiac Bonneville ssei
3.8 V6
GM codes = p0102
tech = jk
question = the fist code was bank 1 running to lean changed plugs
wires now this code comes up mass circuit voltage low what could that be.
JK:
You could have a vacuum leak. Suggest checking for that first. Next, check all fuses,
then check the wires at the MAF sensor connector. Sometimes they break inside the
colored insulation. Pull slightly on each wire at the connector. If a wire is broken, then
the insulation will stretch. This will give the P0102, which may also have given the lean
code.
