2001 Chevy Silverado LT (5.3L V8) OBD2 EVAP System not ready,need the drive cycle
This may be an issue that’s easily solved but requires a diagnostic scanner that’s more advanced than most cheaper models like found at homes or most auto parts store chains. Ask friends/family who the most knowledgeable/reasonable mechanic that they know is- preferably one with training and dealership/high end shop experience- they’ll be more likely to have the better diagnostic equipment. If I took the context of the question wrong and you mean the time it takes for the evaporation system to cycle- that varies by vehicle but usually isn’t a long time- call your local dealer depending on the manufacturer of the vehicle and ask them- ask for the parts department, also try service if they don’t help. Many will allow you to ask a technician a question if you ask the right way...good luck

Did you test the exhaust back pressure ? 1 to 1/2 pounds are normal readings of the pressure. Could be clogged catalytic converter need an exhaust backpressure test. Valves intermittent valve problem, broken rocker, push rod. Thanks MEGABUCK
My 2005 cobalt has water leaking at the heater
I have not had one person that is happy with the cobalt. Everyone I have known that has one has traded it in before all the other problems occured. . You will have to test areas with water and see if it causes a leak. Also the box has a vent hose that could become clogged. This will also cause the AC condensation to overflow. Run the AC for awhile and see if you get drainage.. If not its clogged
Chevy S10 Tail Light issue
CHEVY S-10 TAIL LIGHTS PROBLEM RESOLVED...It seems Chevy engineered a ground shorting clip located under the left rear bumper area. It looks like a connector for trailer wiring harness, but in actuallity is a metal shorting clip which ties 5 wires together. They are all the ground wires for the tail lights. Then one single small wire runs to ground completeing the circuit. Problem is that this one wire is not tough enough to be a strain relief for the grounding plug and over time the ground wire wears, leaving intermittent lighting problems. FIX IS TO SPLICE THE GROUND WIRE INTO ONE OF THE FIVE OTHER WIRES AND USE PLASTIC TY WRAP FOR STRAIN RELIEF. This fixes no tail lights, intermittent rear signals, and other significant problems. I just got done making this same repair on a 2000 s-10 and everything works fine. Since it is the strain on the single ground wire connected to the connector that leads to failure, it is best to tie a new ground or clip the ground wire coming out of the plug and resplice it into one of the other five wires. Does not matter which one since electrically it makes no difference; they are all gound wires. BUT only one wire completes the connection and that is the problem. Really good engineering Chevy! The location is under left rear of bed in wiring harness right before the split. The connector is blue or green. Take the cover off to see the metal shorting clip. Also note the ground wire coming out of the plug/connector and runs about 8 inches to frame. If this is not hooked up you will have tail light issues.

2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. It moves when in reverse and low gear. But when it's in drive it just revs up but doesn't move. However, I'm not getting any transmission codes.
Thanks for the information about checking transmission fluid. Unfortunately we don't get Notifications when they are made up there.
I was hoping that @Jeff Armer would take the question. He is a full time auto electronics tech and just the person you need. I am guessing he didn't get a notification either.
The image is difficult to read even zooming in on my computer, but you have multiple communications and voltage errors and guessing the problem one is to the Body Control Module, but you have multiple errors. That means when the computers tell the transmission solenoids to move it doesn't happen. An auto electrician with a professional grade bi-directional scan tool computer can command transmission solenoids to operate and verify that they did. That would be the starting point. This is not something you can fix yourself and Jeff seldom says 'take it to a transmission shop', note that this is not a normal garage, but a place that only does transmissions.
