Brake stuck.
From what I am reading, your vehicle seems to be experiencing a serious problem. From my years working with these vehicles, it could very well be that the brake caliper has seized (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/brake-caliper-replacement)in that stuck wheel. Often the brake caliper...
Engine runs like it is flooded hard to start
Hi there. Most of the time this is caused by a bad fuel pressure regulator (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-pressure-regulator). Typically, an old fuel pressure regulator will be blown out from the new fuel pump due to the higher pressure. This is going to...

Cold weather also makes cable action stiff...
My car was misfiring so i replaced spark plugs coil packs and fuel injectors my cylinder 1 is still misfiring what can it be
Since you were first showing misfire on number 5 cylinder and now you are showing misfire on number 1 cylinder. I have to say you introduced a problem on number one cylinder. I suggest first removing and checking the spark...
My SUV makes a groaning noise when shifting gears.
Hi C.F. Theoretically, it could be both a brake or transmission problem. It could also be due to a wheel bearing wearing out. Typically a brake grinding issue will occur when the vehicle is slowing (in forward or reverse). The...
Brake caliper piston loose from fitting. Also leaking fluid from piston gasket on piston doesn't go all the way in when compressed
If the caliper is leaking, the most effective course is to disassemble it, inspect the bore, and re-assemble it with new seals. It is unlikely a leak will be resolved by any "external" measures. If you desire a resolution, please...
