Prizm Replacement Key. Should they me symmetric?

Written by: dg2c2c on Feb 28, 2008 04:12 PM

This is dumb question. I have a 2000 Chevy Prozm. I lost my key and had to have it re-cut at the dealer. After bringing it back to my car, I found it did not work. Loking at the key closer, I noticed that the Key was not symmetrical, the cuts on each side of the key did not quite match near the tip. My questions is are there keys suppose to be symmetrical, meaning that the parts ... Read More...

Re: Running Lean....Check engine light is on []

I had this *exact* same sounding problem on my 2000 Prizm -- it also cost me some serious cash before figuring out what the problem was. Check the Mass Airflow Sensor -- mine was running a little lazy and chaotic. I ultimately had to take to the Toyota dealer before they figured out what was wrong. Apparently it was a fairly common problem on the Prizm/Corolla models ... Read More...

Running Lean....Check engine light is on

Written by: Guest on Dec 26, 2006 09:18 AM

I have a 2000 Chevy Prizm with about 110,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on a few months ago and our mechanic said it was the Catalytic Converter. I waited several months, and then had it replaced, but the check engine light came on again, and the mechanic said that an O2 sensor needed replacing, so he did that as well. Well, 45 miles later, the check engine ... Read More...

Re: fuel filter [infinia1]

Written by: imadad2 on Oct 15, 2004 03:11 PM

I own a 2000 Prizm. The fuel filter is in the gas tank. Quite an expensive fix. I was quoted $250 - $300 through a Chevy dealership. My local mechanic stated that he has never replaced a fuel filter in a Prizm or Corrolla. I had a hesitation in my vehicle and thought it was a fuel filter. I changed the air filter and bought some Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner. Problem ... Read More...

Stupid question

Written by: caesarslegion on May 14, 2003 07:45 PM

Local chevy dealer has used 2000 prizms. My question is since these cars are basically toyotas, do these cars have any issues with the sludge problem I heard about? Maybe these engines dont have these problems? I dont think the dealer would give me a straight answer so I figured you guys would. Read More...

Are all Prizm's the same?

Written by: squeak6 on Mar 06, 2003 08:32 AM

A strange thing happened to me the other day... I was sitting in my car eating lunch @ a fast-food restaurant... a lady parked right next to me who had a car just like mine... ( 1998-2000 Chevy prizm ). I kept looking at her car... I was very surprised to see she had some of the same wear and tear as I did... some examples I noted; my inside drivers side door handle broke ... Read More...

I love my 2000 Prizm...

Written by: bk_furman on Mar 30, 2001 01:02 PM

I bought a 2000 Chevrolet Prizm with a lot of apprehension. This was my first brand new car purchase. I wanted to make sure that it would be the right one. I already owned a 1994 Dodge Caravan SE and needed a car with good gas mileage to get to and from work. I looked at the Saturn S wagon, Ford Focus Wagon and Ford Escort, Dodge Neon, and Chevy Cavalier, before I looked ... Read More...
