Why is my transmission slipping?
The transmission in your truck has the updated 4L60 series with a heavier duty forward gears and thrust bearings so your transmission problem is most likely the torque converter or front pump failure. The clutch materials in an automatic transmission...
Distributor rotor turns but no spark at the plugs which is where
If you are not getting any spark, a few things I would check would be the ignition coil or coils (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuse), the ignition module, the ignition system fuses (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuse), and finally the cam (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-camshaft-position-sensor) and crank position sensors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-crankshaft-position-sensor).

Hi there. First check the transmission position sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/transmission-position-sensor-switch-replacement) to see if the wiring harness has a short to ground or the sensor is failing. This sensor will cause the engine to shut off in the event that the computer...
Hood hinge is not aligning the hood.
Hi there. If the hood will not set correctly on the vehicle and the adjustments were made in all directions, then the hinges may be bent or out of placement. I recommend replacing the hinges with new ones to have...

I have 2004 ford taruras and have codes b1342 and b1596 what does that mean
Fault code B1342 has to do with the anti-lock brake system (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/abs-light-is-on-inspection). It typically indicates that the ABS control module is faulty. While there is also a possibility of faulty wiring to the ABS control module or even a faulty...
