A terrible grinding noise is coming from the engine, seems to be from the drive belt...one of the front pulleys perhaps. A friend looked at it and said he saw metal flaking off of a front pulley. The day after this started my car wouldn't start, replaced battery and battery cables in a mall parking lot, now it starts but noise remains. I am forced to drive this car at least 2 or 3 times this week for several miles...if anyone has heard of this specific problem in the v6 3100 motor please let me know chances of chucking the belt or anything worse. Thanks1992 Lumina Fuel System Won't Startwhen i went to start my car last week it just wouldnt start... tried is several times... It would crank over just fine but wouldnt start.

Any ideas?1994 Lumina Electrical & Lighting Systems FailingTroubleshoot turn signal lights when the Hazard lights work but the blinkers do not?1996 Lumina Engine OtherI took my Lumina LS to Precision Tune for general maintenace (spark plugs, oil change, PCV, radiator flush, transmission fluid change). They told me that my engine fluid was leaking into my coolant and it would cost over $600 to repair.(a faulty gasket in either the manifold or headgasket. We went on a 3500 mile road trip and the car began to overhead in the desert. We added a bottle of stop leak to the radiator and it never overheated again. Upon return, we took the car to the Texaco Xpress Lube for a new coolant change and the young man seemed quite knowlegable about the problem we experienced. He kindly would not change the coolantbecause it should only have the pink fluid and should only be changed every 120, 000 miles. He said a better gasket is made than the original and that there is a current class action suit against GM. He said that this was common in 1996 Luminas with my engine (I think 3.1). Also, not having known about the 'pink' coolant, I'm not sure that that is what was put in. How can I verify that this is the problem? Have you heard this to be common? Do you have any suggestions or comments for what I feel the Precision Tune guy thinks is the "dumb blonde"? Thanks....

Usually they will come on slowly then dim and come back up, with no particular regularity. It does not seem to have a cross problem with other lights in the car. The curious thing is that two months ago the car died - we had a new battery put in and it lasted about a month and it died. The dashlight problems seemed to mirror the time the battery was losing power. In other words, the dashlights seemed to be working when the battery was new but gradually the above problem returned and then the battery died. We then had the car taken to a dealership that I have faith in and they reported the alternator not doing its job and replaced both the alternator and battery and did a few other things to the tune of $400.00. Guess what, everything was going along swimmingly for a couple of weeks, and then the dashlights again started to act up. Again, the car died out on the highway and again both the battery and alternator were changed - only $240.00 this time.It has now been about two weeks and the dashlights are again coming on slowly and dimming and coming back up rather irratically. I know that it seems strange that the action of the dashlights are somehow related to this other major problem, but I think they are related. Something is draining the juice out of the battery and I believe it is connected to the dashlight problem. Any takers on this one?
