I also had the Low Coolant light on my 2001 remain on for long periods of time. After replacing the sensor module twice I discovered that the problem was the connector rather than the sensor itself. Expensive learning process.'

What you described sounds exactly whats going on with my car (2001 chevy impala), gonna try replacing that modual. Also just got the car. Gotta jump it every time I wanna get it started, idk if its the battery, if it just hasn't been run in awhile, or that igniton problem you were having, so gonna take at look at that. Thanks for the video btw, mighty helpful.

If you have intermittent and transient stalling issues it may be the cat converter - Meineke cut mine out and replaced it for ~$200 - Stainless steel pipe and mufflers (04SS) still good - The MAF sensor codes have since stopped (2+) years ~15k mi since (total 136k) - went thru 2 sensors over a few years before the 3rd throw of the code after more weird stalling issues - after 6-8 months from replacement #2. The auto guru I know suggested something else is afoot. Hence, Meineke...They said the innards of the cat converter get twisted/turned and causes issues. ATbest.

Glad you got it fixed. It's always a gamble with junkyard electronics but luckily that one was good. That's a lot of coolant leakage too!
@idaman710448 жыл бұрын
yeah. that car's been good to me. can't afford and really don't want a new car right now. hopefully in the next few weeks I can replace the plenum and the intake manifold gaskets. stay tuned for a video series lol

I've found a good way to diagnose the MAF on these impalas. When you're having issues like this just tap on the top of it with a wrench. If the car starts having issues only when tapping on it than you need a new sensor. Had it happen to mine. My intake manifold is leaking as well. It only leaks from 1 bolt that I know of so I might grab some flex seal

I've heard of the tapping method before.
@alyoni51324 жыл бұрын
Right on the mark, I gave it a tap and went dead. i cleaned the sensor and turn on and gave it a tap again and kept running. i kept tapping and you can hear it act up and finally died. Thanks for the hint.

I had a issue of high RPM at cruise speed. My cause was from the top switch above my brake switch under the dash. Some how it came lose and was not pushed into the brake peddle lever. I hope that helps.. What made me look was the cruise kept shutting off. (like when you hit they brakes). now my RPMs are below 2000 again.
