1995 pontiac transport
Dear JK: my windows stopped working they would go down but
when going up it just went a little bit at a time now they don't work at
all how can i fix it
JK:
If when you try to put windows up, they go up a little then stop, have to wait a little
while and try again, they go up a little more then stop -
sounds like the window motor(s) are bad and need to be replaced.
That is a common condition for a weak motor. It takes much more energy for a
motor to raise a window then it does to let it down.
The door panel will have to come off, the window regulator assembly (arm and gear
that motor attaches to), then the motor can be replaced.
Be very careful with regulator. May be under high spring pressure while removing
the motor from it if it is the type with a coil spring on the assembly.

Problem with my 2000 pontiac Montana
3.4
dash lights = no
work done prior = none
work done to repair = none
tech = jk
question = i have a Montana that wont start when its cold or damp or
when it sits for 8 hours or more but if i plug the van in with block
heater it will start when it does start it run a little on the rough side
until the engine warms up ,just wondering if it could be the temperature
sensor let me know what you think thank you
JK:
Hard starting when wet or damp outside is usually caused by corroded ignition coil towers
and spark plug wires. Just pull them off one at a time and look for corrosion or
rust on the coil tower and inside the plug wire.
Plugged injectors are a common cause for running rough. Also the fuel pressure
regulator leaking fuel into the vacuum line will cause a hard / no start and running rough,
but damp weather would not make a difference.
