Hello, thank you for writing in. The error message you got about the low threshold means the oxygen sensor has failed, the fuel system is off, or the catalytic converter is having issues. The amount of information available isn't enough...
Hi There, Depending on what you are referring to by wiring and cords (there is an enormous amount of wiring in today's vehicles), this could be related to any number of electrical problems. I would suggest having a professional from...
Hi there. In most cases, when you have this type of shifting problem, it's due to old transmission fluid inside the hydraulic lines of the transmission. It could also be due to inner transmission seals being damaged or an inner...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle's cooling leak may be causing the misfire. The leak needs to be repaired first, and then we can take any other issues from there. The starting problem may also be the vehicle's...
Hi there. Usually when a grinding noise is occurring while only in reverse, it's an indication of an inner reverse gear failure. It's also common for a CV joint or inner axle shaft to make this type of noise when...
In order to find a cooling system leak, I would recommend to pressure test the cooling system. This will point out any leaks in the cooling system to the technician who is running the test. As for any damages to...
You would need to have the engine mounts checked and then if they are good then have the engine compression tested to see if you have one cylinder low on compression indicating and internal engine problem with a piston or...
You didn't say whether you got the car to run, but if you did, do not drive it. It can be very dangerous in this condition. The fuel pumped up to the engine is under pressure, so when it leaks...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle is likely having issues with charging system. If the alternator or battery is failing to replenish the charge used while starting and driving, the next time you go to start your car...
This is likely an electrical issue or defective engine sensor(s). Just as a for instance, the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor detects engine load and generates a signal that is proportional to the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold....
Try checking and updating the computer program with the latest calibration. There is a bulletin for P0340 and should cover P0016 also. If after reprogramming the PCM and then road test to see if code returns. There has been problems...
It sounds like you may have some other issue related to a misfire. Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in some cases, a combination of...
Hi Ronelle. Thanks for writing in tonight. Usually when the key won't turn and the steering wheel is locked, the issue is with the ignition cylinder (where the key is inserted). There are a few things you can do to...
Hi Lakisha. The difficult part of diagnosing a problem like you've described is the possibility of having electrical damage, such as exposed wires that make up the ignition system. When an accident occurs, this tends to be the root issue...
Hi Christopher. Typically when an engine misfiring issue occurs after the engine has come to operating temperature, it's due to fuel related components, such as fuel injectors that are clogged or misfiring themselves. This could be due to excessive carbon...
Hi Slayer. If you're replacing the AC compressor on your Hyundai, I would strongly recommend buying or downloading a service and repair manual for the vehicle, as it will give you not only the right amount of oil, but the...
What you are describing sounds like a faulty starter solenoid. A faulty starter solenoid will generally produce a clicking sound when turning the key. The starter solenoid is located on the starter and has internal electrical contacts that transmit electricity...
When your car is moving, say at 45 MPH, there is lots of air flow over the condenser (the condenser is the heat exchanger in front of the radiator) and that airflow is essential to proper a/c system operation. To...
Hi Laura. In most cases, when the coolant reservoir is empty and it goes empty while pouring into the tank, the coolant will go directly into the radiator as it's typically an indication of really low coolant levels. If you...
