On your engine, there is no need to drain the engine oil to access, remove and replace the oil pressure sensor. If the dealership drained the engine oil, that would have been an optional step and would have to have...
Hi Dennis. Thanks for contacting us today. In most cases, when an inconsistent security code issue like this pops up, it's due to a fault with the anti-theft software in the ECU. Typically a GM dealership can scan the ECU...
I do not think the brakes had anything to do with white smoke. You will need to have the cooling system pressure tested to see if there is a leaking head gasket or the white smoke is from a fuel...
There are two main seals in the area that you are describing. One is the rear main crankshaft seal and the other is the torque converter seal. If either seal is leaking, the only way to effect a repair is...
If the check engine light has come on, the stored codes may be related to the hesitation issue. If the light was flashing when it came on, that would signify misfiring, a particularly serious issue. You can request a check...
If you have the OEM throttle body, there is a throttle position sensor riveted to the throttle housing. The range of sensor output should be tested as it is possible the sensor was disturbed or damaged during the cleaning process...
Some customers have obtained a diagnostic of their vehicle's problem already - whether through their own efforts and expertise or from another professional - and thus will just request a specific repair directly. Of course, no vehicle can be repaired...
Hi Maurice. Thanks for submitting your question today. I have forwarded your inquiry to our service and sales department, so they can determine your location and see if one of our mobile mechanics has the right experience with BMW's to...
Hi Bruce. You might want to review this video to learn where this sensor is located or purchase a service and repair manual for your Silverado to follow the steps for replacing this component. This video might help also.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for contacting us today. In most cases, when an automatic transmission will not shift on its own while in "DRIVE", it's due to a shift solenoid failure or an obstruction of debris inside the transmission hydraulic lines....

What you are describing is obviously an electrical fault and thus will require a circuit trace, of at least the starting circuit, to resolve. Typically, this requires the factory wiring diagram from the service manual. If you want the required...
Hi there. Thanks for sending your question to us today. When you have the single clicking sound when turning the ignition, it is typically due to a damaged electrical relay. If your battery tested good (meaning it had enough cranking...
Changing out an alternator would not affect the power steering unless you have a problem with the belt slipping due to a bad tensioner or belt is stretched out ot too big. Check the belt to see if it feels...
Hi Gabriela. Thanks for contacting us today. There are several possible sources of a lack of acceleration, ranging from a faulty throttle position sensor (such as what you've replaced apparently) to the throttle body itself being damaged. If the throttle...
The Owner's Manual for this vehicle does not refer to a manual mode for automatic transmission equipped vehicles. The transmission is electronically controlled and the shift points are variable (based on load) and optimized to minimize wear on the drivetrain....
Hi Dennis. Thanks for contacting us today. What you're describing is typically caused by an electrical short inside the ignition switch or with the electrical relay that is faulty. The first thing I would do is determine if other accessory...
Either the charging circuit is not functioning properly (e.g., the wiring and components apart from the alternator itself) or there is a phantom load in the vehicle's electrical system that is discharging the battery even as the vehicle sits idle...
Hi Lili. Thanks for contacting us today. It's possible that you have a shift solenoid failure or just an obstruction of debris inside the hydraulic lines of the transmission. It's also possible that you have inner seals damaged or other...
