2001 Oldsmobile Alero Repair Question
My car wont start sometimes, it will start then stall. whats going on? what does the code u1000 mean on the snap on modis?
Answer
the u code is a body control module. this will not effect the engine operation but will with all inside accessories.
the cam sensor code could still be a bad sensor but inspect the wiring carefully. also, check the fuel pressure especially when it stalls out. it sounds more like a fuel delivery issue than anything.

i also changed the fuel filter today. could it be fuel pump or ficm? and i installed an amp in my car. my door locks are messed up also. they will lock only if you hold the lock button for like 3 seconds. or if you lock the doors with the door closed. but it will unlock at any time just by pushing the button. that just started happening. maybe that could be the u1000 code? i also got a new ignition installed about 2 months ago.
yes, it could be the fuel pump.
yes, your amp may have damaged the bcm. add on items like that are never recommended for these cars as the computers dont like them.

Did you ever get the car fixed? I have the exact same codes, and doing the exact same thing.
