sounds like a bad cat and o2 sensor. try a scanner, if the downstream sensor is attempting to make a 99% fuel trim adjustment, you can bet it needs changing along with the catalytic converter. get someone to follow you and accelerate hard, a rotton egg smell is a dead giveaway

What do you mean , tries to start ? When you turn the key to start what happens ? Starter clicks , starter spins the engine around . Doesn't start an run . ,what ? Now it just so happens that your vehicle does not have a relay switch . Does the car have automatic trans . or manual ? Power from the ignition switch goes through the park neutral position switch to the starter solenoid S terminal for auto trans , An through the clutch pedal position switch for a manual trans . Your best bet , have a qualified repair shop check it out .

GM 3100 3400 3500 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor Replacement

The ignition module needs to be inspected or replaced, they tend to heat up and engine won't start til it cools down again.

Listen for a hiss when the engine is running,that may help find the vac line that may have been blown off.

Change the oil right away, just in case coolant did somehow get into the crankcase. Those rubber plugs should not leak. Did you clean the block good where the freeze plugs goes? It needs to be free of rust, scale, and dirt so the plug seals good. When you get it sealed tight you can monitor the coolant level to see if it leaks somewhere, like the head gasket. That is the only place coolant could get into the oil. Or if you have the coolant system pressure checked, you will find out if there are any leaks like a head gasket. If the system holds pressure, you are good to go. That means the gasket is good, and since no overheating, there is no or little chance you would have a cracked block or head-another way that coolant could get into the oil.

inline filter under vehicle area of driver seat and fuel tank

Should be behind harmonic balancer.

Could be bad coil or crank/cam sensor that only fails as it gets hot. Could also be bad gas cap or fuel pump. Use fuel pressure gauge to see if pressure drops as it dies. If electrical, very hard to tell unless while it fails there is no spark to plugs.

have you try changing thermostat that causes it to overheat sometimes if you have a leaky hose get it changed i have a 96 corsica i had the same problem fixed hose changed thermostat still was overheating took to a radiator shop they tested it it ended up being that get it tested first if they tell you it is the radiator they are probably gonna charge you A LOT take your time and doit your self if you think you cant do it then once you know is that look around to see who charges you less.

If you are looking at adding r134a to the system, the new hoses you get with the r134a will only fit on the low side of the system. It is not like in the old days and the gage would fit on both sides. What with that said the low side is the one going to the dryer and the line is normally larger than the high pressure side. Hope this helps.

First you will need to find out if you are loosing spark or fuel when it stops running. Could be a weak fuel pump, or ignition module among other things.

Have you replaced the caliper and the flex hose ? How do you get it to release ?

THIS sounds like a fun adventure; http://archive2.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=175719 Hope this helps.

Not sure about a 95, but the key is locked by an electric solenoid. The solenoid could have died. On newer models, there is a hole on the bottom of the steering column bezel. About under the switch. You can insert a screw driver and push up to unlock the ignition switch.

i replace all the o- rings on the injectors it run great but on of the injectors and started leaking from one of the injectors back driver rear. i took it out again and replace it with the old one to see if it make a difference but no so i am a little stuck in this issue its on a 1992 chvey corsica 3.1 so i am thinking it could be the injector that is defect

You need to bleed it. Leave the radiator cap off, start it up and when the thermostat opens it should push out bubbles out through the radiator, if the water level drops in the raditor then top it up. When you can't see any more air bubbles, close the radiator cap. If this doesn't help then it could be the thermostat.
