2002 Impala wont start
First off, nice site! Now, here we go. '02 Impala(sedan) 3.4L, 64,000mi. Purchased used about 2 months ago. About 2weeks after we bought it I drove it to the local wal-mart. I come back out of the store pop the key in the ign. Turn it and the engine just sits there and rotates. I call my wife and sit there very frustrated for about 20 minutes until she arrived. So I say to her let me try it again before we have it towed. Bam, It cranks up just fine and I drive it home. So I take it back to the dealership the following day, and they send me to a mechanic at there expense. The mechanic scans it and finds a faulty oil pressure switch, and replaces it. I drove it home and had no problems until a week later same thing, Rotates, but wont start, then sit awhile then it will crank. This happens at least 3 or 4 more times over the following weeks. Then 4 days ago my wife was at the store and it does it again, but this time no amount of waiting helps, it just rotates but wont start. I have it towed home then call a relative who happens to have a diagnostic scanner to come over. He scans it and it comes up faulty MAF sensor, well me being a cheap wad I go to the local "used" parts store(junkyard) and get a maf sensor, put it on and still no go. Scan it again and it comes up faulty ignition control module, back I go to the used parts store, I pull the coil packs off and put an ICM on it and still no go. So now here I sit at my wits end typing this, hoping someone can help me fix my car without ever laying eyes on it. LOL. Thanks in advance...
