Hello. Depending on what engine you have, the type of transmission in the van, and which mount you are replacing will determine the mount replacement procedure. You may have to drop the subframe to remove the mount you need to...
This is an intermittent electrical fault, likely in the ignition system or an engine management sensor that is "failing". There is a decision tree (diagnostic) that mechanics employ to find the issue in cases like this. The only way to...
Hi there. Adjusting turbo boost for this engine is a compromise at best. Setting boost to be optimal for 3rd, 4th and 5th gear (without over-boosting) means 1st and 2nd gear don't get that much boost. Stepping up boost for...
Hello there: Most of the time, the smoke you see coming from the front of the vehicle that has a coolant leak from the radiator cap is steam. This is an indicator that the radiator cap needs to be replaced;...
Hello - the slight delay in starter (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-starter-last) function (and engine shut-down as well on some) for the "auto start sequence" seems to include a slight delay for most model vehicles with this feature. Whether this is an intentional delay...
The hole drilled into your MAF sensor has altered the metered reading of air being injected into your car. The mass air flow sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement) monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the...
If you took the starter main housing bolts out and removed the main housing then you may have damaged brushes inside the starter. I recommend removing the starter and check the brushes for damaged and replace the starter f they...
Shaking or vibration (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/engine-is-shaking-pulsating-or-vibrating-inspection) may be caused by many different things such as faulty spark plugs, poor fuel pressure or misfires. Other things such as a faulty idle air control valve (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/idle-control-valve-replacement) may cause the engine idle to drop below...
Hi Melody. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Anytime a wheel bearing has been diagnosed as being loose or faulty, it's important to have it replaced as soon as possible. A worn wheel bearing does not have enough lubrication to keep...
The The engine’s performance is largely based on temperature measurements performed by the engine control module (ECM), also known as the vehicle’s computer. As the temperature of the engine increases, the resistance decreases which means the voltage drops. The computer...
The The throttle/accelerator pedal position sensor detects the position of the accelerator pedal. This information is then transmitted to the vehicle’s computer - the engine control module (ECM). From there, the data is then sent from the computer to the...
