It sounds like you may have an issue with the security system malfunctioning or preventing the vehicle from starting. Another possibility may be a lack of power getting to the starter, such as a faulty starter relay. The starter relay...
You are describing different problems with fuel system. you will need to have fuel system isolated to see if the low pressure is due to bad pump or fuel pressure regulator leaking fuel into engine or another cause. A mechanic...
The odor of gasoline could be due to engine misfiring, an excessively rich mixture, and/or an actual leak of liquid fuel or fuel vapors. If it were to turn out that the cause is an actual gasoline leak, obviously that...
This is normally due to brake calipers sticking. I would recommend having a brake inspection performed to determine the exact cause of this issue. Consider YourMechanic as this can be done at your home or office.
The speedometer/odometer in your car is electronic and, as far as the dashboard display for speed, relies on a mini "stepper motor". The dash display (utilizing the stepper motor), the wiring to the dash, and/or the sensor that detects axle...
Lack of heat can be a consequence of overheating as the coolant boils and creates pockets of trapped air that impede flow to the heater core. Also, if the coolant level is low, it may not circulate to the heater...
The outlet from the transmission is plumbed to the top radiator connection. The bottom port on the radiator goes to the inlet (return) on the transmission. The return port in the transmission will have an internal check valve for identification....
It is possible that the multifunction switch itself has failed. I would recommend having the multifunction switch tested by a qualified professional to determine if it is functioning properly. If the multifunction switch is not working properly, I would recommend...
It is possible that you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Many climate control systems are vacuum operated. If there is a leak in the vacuum system, this can cause the engine to run very bad. I would recommend having your...
The security system is not likely related to your issue. Loss of power can be due to plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and/or filter, vacuum leaks including that caused by a faulty EGR system, ignition system malfunctions,...
If the check engine light is off, the engine operating temperature is fully within the normal range (not too cold and not too hot) and there are no outward signs of engine malfunction, you need do nothing at this time....
You are probably just seeing "randomness" in the leak rate when you add water versus coolant; both will leak at the same rate. What you want to do, of course, is just simply get the leak pinpointed and repaired. If...
The "suspect" coil should have been tested prior to replacement; there might not have been anything wrong with it or the terminals might simply have needed to be cleaned (sometimes the terminals will get rusty or corroded). The other coils...
Hi there. Thanks for contacting us today. You should not use salt anywhere near your car, as this will create corrosion issues. The only way to expedite this process without having the vehicle inside would be to use a hair...
Hi Corinne. Thanks for contacting us today. Sometimes, this type of problem is an indication of a wheel bearing that is starting to wear. As the wheel spins, it will build-up heat and the noise can go away. However, over...
You will need to have the computer scanned for additional stored codes for the traction control and may need to have the throttle control relearned to have the vehicle shift correct.
Hi Kimberly. Thanks for sending in your question tonight. Diagnosing a weird sound without listening to it personally is fairly difficult. If the noise is coming from the location of the water pump then it's possible that the pump was...
You may have got a bad sensor if the engine was running before the sensor was replaced. Also check connection and installation of sensor for problems. If it still does not start then you will need to have further testing...
Removing powered relays, disconnecting the battery and any like steps carried out while the alternator is running can cause voltage excursions that damage sensitive electronic components. If the warning lights appeared the instant the relays were removed, it is possible...
