It is possible that the camshaft sensor is the cause of the issue. It is also possible that there could be an issue with the timing or the crankshaft sensor. I would recommend having a qualified professional inspect your vehicle...
As a temporary measure, please refer to this instructional video and see if the tactic described therein works for you. For a definite and permanent fix, please request a service appointment as there is possibly a Technical Service Bulletin pertaining...
If the check engine light is on, codes were stored. As an initial step, those codes should be read as they may have essential clues to what is going on. To have the codes read, and the no start resolved,...
There is a relearn/calibration procedure that is typically performed whenever the throttle position sensor is replaced. If that procedure was not performed, it might be relevant in your case. The code (P0121) that you are referring to implicates not just...
The lightning bolt warning light alerts you to a fault in the electronic throttle control system in your vehicle. This may be a faulty throttle body, the throttle body sensor or possibly the throttle body control motor which is what...
It sounds like you may have a bad coolant temperature sensor that may be causing problems with regulating the temperature in the motor as well as impacting the air/fuel ratio and potentially the ignition timing controlled by the ECM. This...
What you are describing is often a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears. Every time a gear change is required, the car's computer...
Inasmuch as you have a known misfire in a particular cylinder, the causes of that will have to be resolved at the same time that the no start is diagnosed. If the misfire in the one cylinder is due to...
Hi Greg. Most of the time, these symptoms are indications of a serpentine belt that is wearing out quickly and eventually will break. This could also be a different drive belt or the pulley's that are in need of replacement....
Although the battery is new, it still should be load tested to ensure that the issue is not a faulty battery. Starter motors require a lot of current and just because the lights work, that doesn't mean the battery is...
It is not clear from your description if engine speed (RPM) increases normally but the car just won't move or if there is no increase in engine speed. In the case where engine speed increases, what you have is possibly...
The signal output of the vehicle speed sensor should be confirmed on a scan tool. There is a plastic gear on the end of the sensor (sold separate from the sensor) and that plastic gear is turned by the transmission....
Oil can leak from the valve cover gaskets, the oil pressure sending unit, the front and rear crankshaft seals, camshaft seals and through any o-ring that seals sensors to the block or head. It is possible to have multiple leak...
Check the coolant level. If the level of coolant is really low, the temperature sensor may not come in contact with the coolant, thus throwing off the temperature reading (it may read cool on the dash gauge but in fact...
Moisture in the air (water vapor) can condense in the engine and contaminate the oil. The amounts are typically not significant and the water eventually vaporizes in hot operation and leaves the engine. The other source of water is from...
Hi Alyssa. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically if a check engine light comes on after filling the fuel tank, it's due to a vapor pressure problem. This often is triggered by one of the EVAP system components. This system...
The first thing to do is to make sure the oil and coolant are filled up to prevent any engine damage. The problem may be caused by low oil but only if engine is oreal low on oil. The coolant...
The alternator is an electrical system component. To work on the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery. Prior to replacing the alternator, you should measure the output of the existing alternator to be sure it is really faulty....
Check for power to the starter solenoid. Also, check to be sure the heavy gauge cable to the starter motor is intact and shows no voltage drop from the battery to the starter. If you do not detect battery voltage...
There could be multiple deficiencies that, added together, create the poor operation. You can look at short and long term fuel trim on a scan tool and make some inferences as to the condition of the fuel injectors. Given the...
