What to do when your Impala breaks all the way?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but sometimes it’s the simple things! get the rear end up in the air on a slanted driveway or ramps. pump the brakes a few times and let it sit for 10 minutes. then try bleeding again. air bubbles suspended in a liquid likes to go up. you should have been able to change pads without disturbing the brake fluid though.

Do you have to actuate the anti-locks on an Impala?

It means that you actually have to actuate the anti-locks. I use my Tech2 to do mine, but some people will do it on a gravel road. You need them to activate to pull the air out of the valve. So you either need a scan tool that can activate them, or do it yourself on something like a gravel road.

What happens when you put brake pads on an Impala?

After I put on the brake pads I noticed that the pedal was not as stiff as it used to be, it was spongy. So I pumped the breaks some more to see if I could build up the pressure. I even drove the car around the block at around 10 mph.

Why does my Impala have blue brake fluid?

ATE super blue brake fluid is dyed blue just for this purpose. But the thing is that he had this issue even before he tried bleeding the brakes (just changed the pads). He only tried bleeding the brakes because of the issue. Click to expand… looks like from first post that the trouble began AFTER changing brake pads.

Why does my Chevy Impala have reduced power?

Why is there no check engine light on my Chevy Impala?

Now while cruising at 40 or 45mph it doesn’t want to stay in overdrive or the torque converter is locking and unlocking. It will do this cold or hot and does it continuesly, have not brought it anywhere for diagnosis and there is no check engine light on. Would the computer store a tranny code and not light up the check engine light?

How much does it cost to fix a Chevy Impala transmission?

The transmission issue of shifting erratically just started but only when the car has been on the road for more then 30 minutest or so. Was checked out through a Chevrolet dealer and told it would cost $1000.00 to fix the solinoid issue.

What is the service engine code on a Chevy Impala?

And we wonder why people buy foreign! 😡 When the service engine light is on the code will be P2138 and because the condition that causes it is intermittent the dealer will not be able to read the code if the light has gone out as was the case with mne last week.
