Hello, thanks for writing in. If this occurs only under this high load condition then most of the time it is caused by a boost leak. I usually suspect that the intercooler has a crack as that will cause this...
It is possible the misfire is identified in a readout of Diagnostic Trouble Codes. If it is not intermittent, a diagnostic scope would quickly identify the cylinder. Could be a simple issue such as a spark plug wire defect or...
Hello, thanks for writing in. If the bearings are fine then the tires need to be checked first. If there is any uneven wear then this will occur. If the tires are all fine then the hubs need to be...
Hello. I hate to say this but it is his fault. It sounds like he is not being truthful about what happened because if that was the case it would have come off well before he worked on it. It...
Clutches are supposed to slip while the clutch is being engaged so the vehicle does not jerk or lurch forward when starting out. The clutch also needs to slip when the gears are changed to ease the shock on the...
The serpentine belt (aka drive belt), is the belt that drives the accessories on the front of the engine. It drives the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and any other belt driven accessories. This is the...
Hi there: It's very difficult to tell you where to start if we don't know what type of troubles or symptoms you're experiencing. A professional mechanic typically will download OBD-II trouble codes first, then test drive or communicate with the...

Hello, thank you for writing in. There are so many components that can effect the steering and alignment, that there will need to be several tests and inspections done until we find the issue. Check the tire wear for any...
The only way to determine if the collision caused damage is to carefully MEASURE the alignment and, as well, the frame dimensions using a tram. If those steps have not been specifically taken, what the mechanics have told you about...
Hi there. If your temperature continues to do this then you either have a flow issue within the cooling system or you have a small leak in the head gasket. I usually start by doing a block test on the...
An engine that won't crank indicates a problem with the starting/charging system. Since you said the vehicle will start with a jump, you can rule out the starter and its corresponding control circuitry. The most likely cause is a battery...
Hi There, Generally, a weak starting car is a sign of a weak battery, however this can also be caused by a starter that is beginning to fail as well. Since you just replaced your battery, it is more likely...
