If you feel like the vehicle is flooded, try smelling the tailpipe for gas fumes after trying to start the vehicle. You can also try putting the vehicle in "clear flood mode", or "clear out mode" by holding the gas...
It sounds like you are experiencing several different issues. If the engine hasn't ran since the transmission fluid was added, I would drain and refill the engine with new oil. The issue with not cranking could be your battery. A...
Many engines require that the engine be started up to circulate oil through the filter and then let the engine sit for several minutes to an hour before checking. This will allow all the oil to fall back into the...
Hi Gina. If you just had an accident, the first thing you should do is contact your insurance company and file a claim for the accident. They need to officially file this before the vehicle is inspected for damage and...
Hi there. When you hear a squeak shortly after replacing the brakes, it's commonly due to excessive brake dust trapped between the caliper and brake rotor. However, it is also possible that something is stuck or the pads installed are...
Hi there. The clicking sound you hear when braking might be a worn suspension component and not related to the brakes. Sway bar links for example can make clicking sounds when the bushings are worn. If ball joints are worn,...
Engine coolant can leak externally through a hose, radiator, water pump, etc. or internally due to a leaking head gasket and sometimes a leaking intake manifold gasket depending on the engine design. External leaks are typically found by simple pressure...
Hello, thank you for writing in. There are several sensors related to the fuel system, and having that code would be beneficial for us. However, we can start with an assumption that it may have been the fuel pressure sensor,...
Hello. If the rear defroster is working like you explain then it sounds like the rear window needs to be replaced. As the element in the window begins to short out internally various parts of it will stop working until...
Any time loss of steering, or power assist to the steering is lost, it can be a safety issue and should be looked into as soon as possible. If the oil light and/or check engine light are flashing before it...
It sounds like your car cranks but isn's starting, if that's the case it's missing one of the three requirements for combustion; compression, fuel, ignition. If, while cranking, the car sounds like it always has and not much faster than...
Engine coolant is not normally added to a vehicle's cooling system as that system is well sealed and uses a recovery tank. The only reason you would have to add coolant is if there is a leak. You should, of...
You will need to replace the kinked hose to restore flow to the engine. This is the bypass hose so coolant flows through the engine before thermostat opens.
You will probably have to replace the ignition switch. And since you can't put the key in the switch, getting it out will be a big deal. Car ignition locks are deliberately made to be hard to remove in order...
Hi There, Generally, this code is related to the sensor itself failing or in many cases failed connections or an internal wiring short, which results in this code being triggered even when the sensor is functioning properly. Since you have...
The noise is probably brake or wheel bearing related. If brake related, it might be due to the brake pad wear indicator contacting the rotors. If you desire that this problem be diagnosed by a certified Mechanic, dispatched by YourMechanic...
Removing the water pump on your vehicle is a 6 hour job and consequently involves pages of procedures, torque specifications, and a lot of detail. Due to the amount of time involved, it is not worth it re-installing the old...
Hi there. Check the brake system and see if the caliper or rotor is damaged on the driver side wheel. Since the noise only occurs when decelerating to a stop, then there could be an issue with the brakes. Try...
Hi there. In most cases when you hear a screaming or squealing noise under the hood, it's related to a belt that is loose or is beginning to show signs of wear. Since you're having AC issues, the problem could...
