I was driving my car and when I was driving and press the gas. the aisle go up and back to normal so when I park it and tried to drive it again. It wouldn’t go nowhere. I was pressing the gas but the only thing was going up was the aisle Mechanic's Assistant: Have you noticed an increase in fuel consumption? And how does the vehicle start—same as usual? Yes and same as usual Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2010 ford mustang Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Mustang yourself? What have you tried so far? Nothing so far. just turning it on/off trying to move it but the only thing that’s moving is the aisle Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? That’s it

Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* to Just Answer! I will be assisting you with your questions today. Give me one moment while I review this.

I’m very sorry that you’re having this issue and together, we will get this figured out. I will need your help too because I can’t see, touch, hear or smell anything that’s going on with your vehicle. We may also require some specialized testing tools in order to assist us in diagnosing the problems due to the complexity of today’s vehicles. JA will offer a phone call to you at an additional fee, it’s your choice. Please be patient with my replies, I reply back in question order received. If I send you an attachment, I will tell you, BUT, you will NOT get it on a phone; you must be on a tablet or PC. Please let me know when you are satisfied with my answers too so we can close out your question. There can be 2 reasons for this. One is low fuel pressure/bad fuel pump and you need to check that with a gauge. The other is a bad throttle body/TPS. You need to attach a scan tool and check for codes as well as TPS readings. Thanks again and all the best:) Ron Please feel free to text me back if additional help is needed. Thanks again and be well:) Ron

how do I know if its my [transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/) or not

You will run tests on shift solenoids too with the scan tool in bidirectional mode. Let's start with my initial recommendations first. Thanks again, Ron

would my car still start if I have one of these two problems
Automotive Expert
Yes, PLEASE do the tests I recommended and let me know the results. Thanks again, Ron

Without any information about the vehicle, I can say this. Many cars today have oil change (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/change-oil-and-filter) intervals of 7500 miles and even up to 15,000+ miles. Going 7000 miles between oil changes is generally not going to be the...
Car shudder, tire noise, engine clicking - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
It sounds like there are worn suspension bushings in the front suspension. When braking, the front suspension is subject to large stresses which accentuates a worn or damaged bushing. The "jerking" sensation you observe when braking sounds like a severely...
Is it better to just change trans fluid instead of flushing the whole system?
When it comes to vehicles over 5 years or 60,000 miles, my preference is to drain the transmission through the pan and replace the filter, especially if the transmission has never been serviced. The sales pitch is of course that...

My car will turn over but will not start and it started after I added oil.
There could be an issue with the oil level and/or the oil pressure. But, the oil pressure can only be measured once the engine is running. If the engine won't start at present, the best course is to request a...
