The best recommendation in this situation would be to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional in person to determine the exact best route to choose.
If the smoking is a bit of a white or steam colored smoke, this may indicate a leaking or damaged cylinder head gasket. cylinders will generally cause a misfire and potentially compression leaks from one cylinder into another. Low compression...
Measure engine compression. Check intake vacuum to get an indirect indication of whether valves are sticking or not. Check base ignition timing and advance function and, finally, look at secondary firing patterns on an oscilloscope to determine if the issue...
What you are describing may be a result of a faulty speed sensor, potentially low transmission fluid or a even a faulty transmission control solenoid. As your vehicle travels down the road, the computer analyzes data being sent by vehicle...
The large outer retaining ring on the pump, and the need to access the supply and return connections and the wiring, makes it impractical to cut an access hole. The hole would have to be too large and there is...
Depending on what hose you replaced and the part used it may have failed again if rubbed through. If not then you may have a warranty claim if hose itself failed.
Misfiring can be ignition or fuel related, not to mention the mechanical (engine condition) causes. If the air fuel ratio is off due to lean operation for example (vacuum leak, fuel pump failing, etc.) the engine may misfire. To distinguish...
Fuel pumps rely on fuel for cooling and lubrication so be sure the tank is always kept at least one-quarter full of fuel. If there is a voltage drop on the supply circuit to the pump, that will cause high...
Code P0300 relates to a misfire of some kind, which can be caused by any number of things. Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in...
Assuming that there is no blockage in the outlet lines to the spray heads at the windshield, the pump motor, or circuit to the pump motor, is faulty. This can be diagnosed and resolved, right at your location, if you...
The status of the camshaft position sensor has no bearing on the operation of the transmission. Shifting of the transmission does rely though on other data outputs from engine controls, such as the throttle position sensor (TPS). If you are...
This is likely related to the fuel tank sending unit inside the fuel tank, which will require the fuel tank to be dropped in order to access and replace. The fuel gauge sending unit is a small float type component...
This could be an ignition coil that may be starting to fail, but is more prevalent in the cold weather or rain. Generally, this is common when the coils begin to break down and heat cycling occurs, however the opposite...
This sounds like you may have major engine problem and with the information given cannot make a complete diagnosis and recommend having a mechanic like one from YourMechanic come to you and diagnose the problem since you may have major...
If you're not getting any click or sound at all, then it's likely that you have a problem at the ignition switch, a starter relay, or the associated wiring. In older cars, sometimes it just takes a hand under the...
Depending on storage conditions, ethanol content, and so forth, fuel will expire in 2 to 6 months. If fuel has sat in a tank for 6 months, and the car has not been used during that period, there is no...
If the starter motor does not release once the engine is running, the cause could be starter misalignment or failure of the circuit to open, and release the starter solenoid, the instant you release the ignition key. If the noise...
It is very possible that the fuel pump is going bad. Many times when the fuel pump fails this can cause the vehicle to die due to lack of fuel delivery to the engine. I would recommend having your fuel...
Hi Wayne. Thanks for contacting us today. The P-0300 OBD-II trouble code indicates a random cylinder misfire. This can occur after replacing fuel injectors or wiring, if one of them is loose-fitting or connected incorrectly. I would double check all...
If there is a retaining clip (circlip) over the splines set in a grove, just be sure that the open side of the clip faces down (toward the ground), otherwise it will be very difficult to install the slip yoke....
