Q: 1996 Chevy Impala has had an audible alarm on freeway exit ramps; manual does not mention this. What is it?
My father’s 1996 Impala has had an audible warning alarm bell go off twice, both times on freeway exit ramps. No warning light came on at the same time. The manual makes no mention (that I can find) on audible alarms. The car has no theft alarm. What’s going on here?

A: Many of the newer cars will sound an alarm if the turn signal remains on for an extended period of time. Next time you hear the alarm try turning off the blinker for a few seconds.

Q: Will the under dash wire harness from a 1994 Chevy Caprice work on a 1996 Chevy Impala?
I want to take almost everything off my chevy caprice and put it on my chevy impala.

A: yes it will,those are basically the same car almost,but the harness will interchange on those two,good luck.

Q: How much fuel should be pumping out through filter when disconnected from fuel line on a 1996 Chevy Impala?
I thought I had solved the fuel supply problem a couple of months ago when I replaced the internal fuel pump. The car started right up and hadn’t had a problem since. Now, after warming the car up for about 5 minutes of idling, it died and I can’t get it started again. I bled the Schrader valve, and saw a fair amount of air bubbling out with the fuel. I separated the lines from both ends of the filter and cranked the engine to see what came out. Nothing came out when cranking, only when turning the key to the on position and hearing the pump humming did a little continuous dribble come out. I would think that more would flow when I turn over the engine, but that’s when it stopped. Also, nothing ever came out from the input end of the line when switched on or cranking, only from the filter output side. Odd! My questions are: Should I be seeing more output flow than there is, and from either the input line end or output from the filter? Shouldn’t there be flow when cranking the engine over, too? The tank is nearly full, and the car hasn’t been driven enough to run out, or to need a fill up, so the pump hasn’t dried out. Do you suppose the internal pump’s screen/filter is clogged already and needs to be cleaned, meaning dropping the tank again, or is there some other issue I’m overlooking. I wrote earlier getting the advice to replace the pump originally, when I thought the injectors were clogged, but the engine ran perfectly after replacing pump, so I don’t think the injectors are the problem. Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions. -Gary

A: If you have one or can rent one from the local auto parts store get a fuel pressure gage that hooks to the scharader valve. See what the pressure reading is. Most likely the pump filter sock is clogged or the new pump is a bad one.

Q: How much is a fuel pump for a 1996 Chevy Impala?

A: Autozone lists two fuel pumps for the Impala -

You should also install a new filter and strainer when replacing a fuel pump.

Q: Where is the fuel pump located on a 1996 chevy impala.?

A: its in the gas tank and as you was already told get as much of the gas out as you can first, do not let this tank just drop out there are 4 hoses that go to the top of the tank and a 3 wire plug, you must remove the plug and the 4 hoses before it will come all the way out, once out there’s is a retaining ring that you can remove with a flat head screw driver and a hammer, just tap the ring counter clock wise and remove the fuel pump hanger, be sure not to bend the float.

good luck.

Q: 1996 chevy impala SS.?
ok i am looking for a 1996 impala SS.im my research i have seen that the SS is a 5.7 liter V8 LTI engine. but when i see these some have the corvette simble by the front tire, but some dont. do u not get the LTI engine. do u get a lower performance one when thats not thier, on it or is it just their on some and not some?? please help. bottom like does that symbol make a difference in the engine.
thx everyone and thats funny im from saint louis

A: Zach, that emblem was not available from the factory whatsoever. That emblem is simply a very popular ‘add-on’ that people put on since the LT1 came from the Corvette at the time. All the SS Impala’s from ‘94 to ‘96 came with the same LT1 engine.

Back in the late 1990’s, My friends brother helped start the Impala SS club in St. Louis called GRAIL which stands for ‘Greater Regional Area Impala Lovers’. I was always around these cars from the time they started making them. He was one of the 1st to put the ‘crossed flag’ emblem on. He was also one of the 1st to have his factory SS wheels chromed.

FYI, The biggest difference between the 3 years is this: ‘94 and ‘95 had a digital speedometer and a column shifter with a console with cup holders. The ‘96 had an analog speedometer and a shifter in the console. To me the ‘96 is a tad sportier because of it.
I’ve wanted any year SS forever! I just did a front end alignment on my friends moms ‘95 SS.

Hope this helps.

edit: Cool! I’m in south county/Oakville.

Q: What you think about 1996 chevy impala ss?

A: One of the more memorable descriptions I’ve heard of it is “A cop car in a tuxedo.” It’s the last of the rear wheel drive Impalas. It has a cult following that keeps the resale value up. Drivetrain is pretty robust, although it may have the Optispark ignition, which is prone to having water collect in it and short it out. I can’t remember what years had that. But even if it does, there’s a fix available for that.

If you want to buy one, make sure it’s in good condition. Even though the drivetrain is fairly durable, it’s still a 10 year old car. And if you get one with a ratty interior, you’ll probably pay more to have it fixed than what you would have spent on getting a cleaner car.

Q: will a 383 stroker fit into a 1991-1996 chevy impala?? and can it fit into a 1981-1989 caprice?

A: Yes, it is just a stoked 350. 350 block with 400 crank.

Q: does anyone know where i can get a 1994-1996 chevy impala body from I’m willing to pay for the body?

A: On a body, your best bet is to check the junkyards.
