Engine noise

Chevrolet Vectra 2008  70000 miles
When starting the engine, all the lights are working but the engine makes a clicking noise repeatedly. I was told it could be the battery, but I really do not know what to do. If I change the battery, do I need to configurate the computer? Thanks.

The same happened to me yesterday and the problem was in the gas key, which was making the clicking noise. I changed the key to the neutral position, disabling it, and the car has started working much better. I am planning to take it to the gas service for it to be checked soon.

Check turns on when accelerating

Chevrolet Vectra 2004  300000 miles
Hi, I own an automatic Vectra CD 2.2 16v and my problem is that the Check turns on constantly when accelerating, and I feel the car loses power when this happens. The Check turns on and suddenly disappears; if it does not turn off, I accelerate it suddenly and it goes away. I've already cleaned injectors and I always use injection cleaning fluid so that they are not blocked. Still, I cannot find the failure that is causing my problem. I know there is a sensor next to the camshaft, on top of the cover, and also the rpm sensor; but I've checked them and I did not find any failure. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know. Because the fuel consumption is higher as well.

If your vehicle jerks, clean the pump's filter from the fuel tank. You need to remove the rear seat and it has got a big seeger security ring.

Starting when cold

Chevrolet Vectra 2006  145000 miles
Good afternoon, I have a Vectra 2006 v6 with 90000 miles and, when starting it in the morning, it accelerates normally at the beginning but immediately starts failing. It is only after I turn the engine off and start it again twice that the failure disappears, and the car works perfectly the rest of the day.

It must be a sensor that is failing. I recommend you to scan your vehicle.
