Engine check light on; diagnostic ran - reported bad air pump which was replaced. Within days light came back on. Diagnostic ran again; same code=bad air pump. Mechanic said the pump is a bad design. The pump allows water to get into pump which then gets into the engine causing damage and the light to come on. $500 later - no resolution; same problem.
Engin echeck engine light came on, and the dealer said the air pump had failed. Even though my car is technically out of the 3 year warranty period by a few months, it has not reached 36,000 miles yet (3 yrs/36,000 mile warranty). I am trying to find out if there are reported problems with the air pump on the 1996 Cutlass.
Run channel failed.
At about 20000 miles the engine lost power , had a rough idle and then engine check light came on. I took the car to the dealer and they replaced two injectors. About 1000 miles later, the engine did the same thing and the ses light came on. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the other four injectors.
While starting vehicle engine would be making noises. Had vehicle serviced. Two-weeks later, engine check indicator light flashed. Engine shutdown, and would not restart. Dealer was contacted.
