Hi Jacolby. Thanks for contacting us today. There are a few possible sources of your problem, but in most cases, white smoke is an indication of a blown head gasket. This can also be the reason for the lack of...
Hi Brett. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically, when you've replaced the fuel injectors, plugs and wires, and still getting a single cylinder misfire, it's going to be related somehow to the ECU. Either a trouble code is stuck or...
It sounds like you have a coolant leak, which may explain the white smoke from the coolant burning on hot engine components. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to take a look at the...
You may have a bad fuel pump or connector to fuel pump. You will need to have the computer tested for codes and continue diagnosis of the codes or fuel pump.
Check the fluid level to be sure it is not either too high or too low. If the fluid level is correct, the high temperature is due to a malfunction such as a slipping clutch or band. That, in turn...

Hi Latorus. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Anytime a car overheats, it can cause a tremendous amount of damage to the engine and electrical components (especially if coolant spills under the hood and penetrates sensors or other electrical harnesses). In...
The engine is undoubtedly misfiring (the blinking light is associated with misfiring) and once the OBD-II trouble codes are read they will undoubtedly reflect that. Without the specific codes though, it is unknowable whether the misfiring is global (random, across...
Hi Rob. Thanks for the question today. There are literally a dozen or more possible reasons why your DeVille is acting in this way. Sometimes failing wheel bearings will create the vibration you're explaining, while in other instances, loose motor...
