If one of our talented Moderators or members can't help you with your
Monte Carlo problem, I think this is another venue to explore,
and I believe it's less expensive then a auto shop to get an answer.

I've found it pays to do research & sometimes it cost.
Or you can do what Space does & try to fix it yourself.
and
This is what willhappen

RE: Have a Problem with your Monte ? Just Ask
If someone brought their car into the dealership with a problem and they said it was diagnosed on the internet, I can almost guarantee they are not going to work on it without diagnosing it themselves. What happens when someone asks why their window won't work and someone tells them it is the window regulator. They go to the shop and say "I want a window regulator installed". They install it and it still doesn't work because the switch is bad.
A good shop will ask what makes the customer believe it is the regulator and then when they say someone on the internet told them, the shop will say "Let us take a look at it... there is a diagnosis fee of $xxx/hr."

Space here are also great free resources on groups.yahoo.com.
When I had my Cadillac, I would go on the Cadillac groups site at Yahoo and get great if not perfect answers to every single problem I had. Since Ihave good DIY capability, I saved thousands of dollars.
For InTheIroc, I understand what you are saying, but I guess I got lucky. On stuff I couldn't handle myself, I would tell the mechanic the exact problem.
At first he would always say that he needed to diagnose it anyways. After a while, hegave in to the factthat I had a great contact on the internet.
There are many excellent free car repair groups on Yahoo. Here is the link to one that has helped me many times on my other cars.

RE: Have a Problem with your Monte ? Just Ask
I'm all for researching car problems on the internet, but people must realize that not everyone on the internet knows what they are talking about. I'm on some Volvo boards and I don't even pitch in because some of these people are so sure they are right, there is no talking to them. So they continue to give out bad information and INSIST they are right because "they heard it" or "they read it somewhere". It's easy to be a keyboard mechanic. And when you are asking for help or guidence on a free website, that is one thing. But the moment someone pays for it, that is a different situation. If you pay for something at the store and it doesn't work, you return it. If you pay for an answer about your car, for example- the window problem I mentioned earlier. You pay for the answer and go buy a window regulator for the car and put it in yourself. Then, it still doesn't work. Now what? If you go to a mechanic, be it the dealership or an independent shop and they diagnose it and tell you it needs a regulator and that doesn't fix it, it is on them to get that car fixed.

RE: Have a Problem with your Monte ? Just Ask
sounds more like something ppl can use after the fact, when they think theyve been screwed over, to find out how likely it is that they have been.
all you can do without the car infront of you to look at, inspect or test... is guess and try to say whats most likely the problem. hard to think of paying for 'hey try this'. free sites like this are great for it though.
made me think ofa car i had the other day, 2001 grand prix gt 3.8 non supercharged, low cooland light on, checked coolant level, its full. i know the coolant level module in the radiator is bad just from that. replaced it fixed, out the door.... i've probly done that 50 times and if the coolants full, its allways the sensor.
.....but what if the car was wrecked last spring, chaffed the wires to the sensor somewhere and have just now corroded to the point that the circuit is open. i'd put a sensor in it wrongly, see the light is still on and then start testing, find the problem and fix it. if you paid for an answer youd be out the cost of the answer, the cost of the part, and your time working on it, and be nowhere.
